HOROSCOPE
Venus Change Everyone wants rewards commensurate with their contributions. The trouble is that our contributions are valued according to needs and appetites of others that we have little control over. Luckily, with the Venus change, our sensitivities to what others want get more intuitive. Push your feelings into the situation before asking questions.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You choose something to want and learn the steps you need to take; then you execute it fast. Your lack of vacillation or procrastination will put you in a league of winners.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Maybe people won’t call when they say they will. You’re luckier when you don’t care so much. For best results, get even busier with your big beautiful life and let them catch up with you when they do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In case you needed another reason to do whatever you want: If you fill your time with pleasurable activities, you get more attractive with every fun thing you do.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are warming up in a group, getting more established and becoming familiar with the dynamics at play. Remember when you were a person on the outside trying to get in? This is cool!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have major mojo to play with now, and you’ll be attracting more attention on your projects and your general being. And don’t worry about when you’re going to be able to return all this attention. Just soak it up.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The older you get, the less you trust people who obviously want something from you. The principle of reciprocity will be a prevalent theme. The balance of give and take is something you can feel on a visceral level.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A fleeting but acute pang of jealousy has something to teach you. Perhaps this is not a green-eyed monster lurking in the depths of your soul, but an angel of your higher mind letting you know what you really, really want.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Why not prioritize your own comfort just a little higher on the list? In today’s case, an intimidating person may be part of this, and there’s no need to appease. Take a step back. There are many ways to solve a problem.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe we’re beings who are perfect in spirit
but flawed in our human expression of it, and that’s the fun of life on this plane. So don’t waste a minute feeling bad about your imperfections. Work with them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You learn a little more each day about the people around you, what they’re good at, what they’re likely to agree to and how to handle the parts you’re not so fond of, too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sure, you’re self-sufficient. In fact, you’re the expert when it comes to fulfilling your own needs. But when you accept the gifts and help of others, you fit into their lives better. The sense of belonging brings you tremendous joy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Considering the futility and potential misery that comes from expecting another person to be anything other than what he or she is, it’s only smart to get to know the very real side of the people around you.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 10). You’ll put deep thought and focused effort into coming across a certain way because you want people to have a very special experience in knowing you. You’ll achieve the desired effect, and this will open doors, close deals and essentially bring you the world. Love is the answer in April, so say yes! Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 22, 7 and 38. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I’m 40 years old, and I still can’t seem to change my flaws. For instance, I have a big mouth. I tell stories I shouldn’t tell, and I have a really hard time keeping a secret. Also, I eat too much and drink too much, and I don’t exercise enough. I say the wrong thing at parties. There is a lot about my life going right, but honestly I just can’t stand my personality. I wish I could be beautiful, cool and funny and really connect with others everywhere I go. But instead I’m a dork, and now I’m an old dork. I feel really bad about myself. Can you help? I’m a Leo.”
Because Leos are so into presentation, they sometimes mistake their public personas for their true selves. But how you look and what you say at a party doesn’t define you. Also, Leos are also very in tune to what entertains others, so they have a tendency to find what’s exciting about a conversation and amplify that. Thus, they tell stories that sometimes have a touch of the inappropriate to them. So what? You get more attention and laughs, and, you may notice, people keep inviting you back.
