HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19): Forces greater than you may demand that you slow down. Although you prefer to ignore the loss of momentum, your energy reserves are being taxed beyond your ability. Utilize surrender as a tactic in your long-term strategy. You are not giving up; you are playing a bigger game.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your potential energy gathers now, yet the time is not right to act. You must first work through a few philosophical impediments. Thoughts and actions can be incompatible. Safeguard your resources as you map out strategy. If you can envision your goal, you can make it happen.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Teamwork requires team players. Your abilities are hampered today if someone is unwilling to play. You must remove the obstinate member or negotiate a compromise that stimulates cooperation. Bring your brilliant people skills to the table.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Slip into your stream of consciousness. Daydreams invite you into a delightful world today, and it feels better to dwell in what could be versus what is. Instead of fighting the undertow, try drifting sideways. Unplug from the mundane and plug into the cosmic flow. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel as if you are bursting at the seams now. However, reaching your personal pinnacle must wait for the inevitable delays of the daily grind. Your triumph might also be thwarted by someone who is taking credit for your creative work. Claim the moral high ground.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There seems to be no happy medium today. Continuing to work past your limits leads to exhaustion, but the sheer mention of rest could upset you, too. Watch how and where you focus your energy. Identify any areas that could be changed to help you regain your power.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): It is so much easier to hope than to do the grunt work to convert your fantasies into reality. You will be more than able to gather support in the future, just not today. Keep furnishing your dreams, so you are prepared to act fast when the right opportunity strikes.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Projects have an extra drag that brings you to a standstill. However, this breathing space gives you time to see things from a new angle that could inspire a restored sense of engagement. Although you may not regain the energy, your vision for the future begins to crystallize.

Pick up a pen and sketch out the world you wish to be real.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Distractions can be fun yet dangerous. Uncharacteristically, you may feel more like playing than working today. However, you could end up inadvertently hurting someone close to you. Avoid any unnecessary mishaps by reconsidering the consequences of your actions.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your desire to shine takes a back seat. The best-laid plans must respond to current conditions. But stopping can lead you to actually prevent trouble from manifesting. There is no shame in recharging your battery when your stamina is low. Put yourself first.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Overstimulation often precedes the experience of overwhelm. Your packed daily routine challenges your capacity to get everything accomplished now. You may even feel irritable, especially when people who usually step in to help are unavailable today. Take care of what you can.
