HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): A loved one may need more help than you’re willing to give. If someone asks you for a loan or a cover story, give a polite but firm refusal. People think you approve of risky behavior. You’re willing to take the consequences for your actions; you expect the same from others.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The imposing presence of an authority figure could stir feelings of resentment. As tempting as it may be to assert your independence, resist the urge to buck against their requests. You’re paying your dues, and maintaining a reliable reputation is important for advancement.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Spend some time alone consulting your conscience. You spend so much time in your brain, but the best answers come from sensory experiences. Indulging in some creature comforts allows you to recognize this experience as an opportunity.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Sometimes you must face the fact you’re dealing with someone who is determined to cause trouble, no matter what. When this happens, it’s helpful to turn your attention inward. Although you have no control over anyone else’s behavior, you can manage your own reactions.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): As tempting as it will be to neglect obligations in favor of rest, people are relying on you. It’s vital you follow through on providing critical information, supplies or services. Neglecting your duties could have serious repercussions on your reputation.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are times when even ultra-responsible people like you are tempted to pass the buck. You’d be wise to swallow your frustration and extend a helping hand to someone who needs it. Your considerate behavior will pave the way to a more supportive and collaborative relationship.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Talk to your best friend, romantic partner or roommate today about ways to strengthen your bond. This could involve anything from taking an online class together to launching separate projects; the goal is that it deepens your appreciation for each other.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It feels like the more you give to someone lately, the more they expect from you. It’s easy to get frustrated by a demanding person; however, it’s likely you contributed to this dynamic. If a loved one offers to do a task or errand they aren’t used to, let them do it. Remember, harmony is the goal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): A personal hangup is holding you back. Whatever bad habit, vice or obsession may have a grip on you, it’s time to address it before it does any more damage. Starting a new fitness regimen, seeking therapy or joining a support group can help you kickstart some healthy changes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): However, the power to increase your income is in your hands. It will take time to reach your goal, so start today. Be willing to move into a cutting-edge field, even if you have no experience. Training in a role that few others know will make you a hot commodity in the job market.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Instead of following a path that’s already been laid out for you, listen to your heart. Whether that means starting your own business, making a difference in politics or forming a humanitarian group, the key is to step into a role that draws on your powers of innovation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Some juicy gossip about your social circle could make its way to you today, but be wise to keep it to yourself. You’ll regret your indiscretion. You’ve always been a repository of secrets. Be as respectful with others’ private information as you’d like them to be with yours.
