HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19): Managing boundaries is complicated because people have a strong influence on your feelings. Nevertheless, when you quiet your own mind, everything else becomes clearer. Someone still might be off kilter in your estimation. You are the captain of your own ship.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Keep your head up and your thinking cap on today, especially if you experience challenging changes at work. Obviously, it’s not wise to press the panic button. Instead, decompress and get your emotions in check before doing anything drastic. If possible, ask for help.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Your enthusiasm can be a blessing and a curse. Big plans have a way of backfiring on you because you can’t do it all. Inflated expectations create disappointment, so release worries that arise from fear of failure. You don’t need to achieve the impossible.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): You can miss out on an important opportunity if you let your emotions get the best of you. Self-restraint is wise, especially when making a value judgment. Chances are that as your sentiments simmer down, the better you navigate the options the cosmos offers you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You love finding joy in the words of another, especially a close friend or partner. However, at other times, someone can test your patience, eating up your shrinking mental bandwidth. You may gracefully choose what becomes junk food for your brain.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Little things count, especially if social, geopolitical or environmental considerations are at stake. Be conscientious about how you spend your money and the ways it affects your daily routine. Even the most sweeping transformations happen one small step at a time.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Practicing flexibility is essential today. Of course, you want everything to play out as smoothly as possible. Instead of stubbornly being attached to your old preferences, just let them fade away. Buddha taught, “You can only lose what you cling to.”
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The funny thing about family is how a bunch of square pegs and round holes are bound together by genetics. Honor diversity, and respond with respect. Lead by example, and expect others to follow. Theologian Jim Wallis wrote, “We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your image in the mirror may not be the wise sage you thought. You can’t control how anyone receives the knowledge you share today. Consider how much time you spend sharing your message. Find loyal allies. Magic can happen when you find your audience.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are eager to work with others with a similar sense of purpose. Although you want to prove your competence, you have enough patience to know you will make your mark with consistent effort. Don’t wait when you can create the perfect opportunity yourself.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might need to rely on empathy today as deftly as your intellect. Most don’t want to hear a solution before they share their stories. Hold off your judgment. Psychologist Dr. William James wrote, “The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A strong foundation is your saving grace. When life gets too complex, it’s always a good idea to return to the basics. Although you can’t avoid mundane responsibilities, be sure to eat good food and get sufficient rest. Shine the light of awareness into the dark corners of your mind.
