HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): You have more going for you than you think you do. It can be hard for you to see that because social groups may remind you of how you think you fall short, even if they do not intend to slight you. Take enough time alone to clearly hear your own perspective and your true needs.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

If you are in a mood today, it may come from feeling stifled and unable to express yourself. Someone who has been pushing you too hard for too long might have earned whatever pushback they get now. You will feel better if you can get a greater sense of control over your own life.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You find yourself ready to fight over every little thing today. However, your problem might be that you have gotten too isolated from the outside world. Your strong energy needs an outlet, so find a way to connect to something bigger than yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

You may be interested in engaging with acquaintances or friends who are more edgy than your usual crowd today. While you fear how your closer circle would react to your exploration, it is okay to keep some things private for now if that makes you feel more comfortable.

An authority figure in your life, like a boss or a parent, may suddenly act unstable today. If this person can’t recover from the disruption, you may have to pick up the pieces. Engaging with your larger community or tradition can also remind you that life is bigger than today’s drama.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

It feels good to have someone on your side. You are accustomed to working hard, but finally getting some support presents you with a new challenge: You no longer think of yourself as unappreciated anymore. You might have to change your way of thinking in order to accommodate this shift in your identity.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Relationships demand more than usual from you today, and the social skills you can normally rely on to get you out of any mess will not be enough by themselves. Don’t be afraid of an intellectual challenge in conversation — if you stick with it, you can reach surprising insights.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Your home or family life feels stifling right now, so you are tempted to just spill your guts into a connection with the first person who seems to understand you. Of course, even platonic relationships of that sort can be unstable. You can avoid trouble if you focus on practical work today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You are overdue for some fun in one of your close relationships, but all sorts of practical things come up that urgently need to be done today. This could send your frustration sky high. Enlist the other person’s help and see if you can make the tasks more pleasant.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You want to be the fun one in your family for a change. Today, try doing what appeals to you personally, and watch how those around you react. They may take this surprisingly hard; however, the most responsible thing you can do now is hand them their own responsibilities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You may have to be the serious one today if someone in your home or family is going through an upheaval. It might fall on you to articulate the basic facts of the situation. Your basic Aquarius personality traits like being a little bit emotionally distant will help calm things down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

With the home and money areas of your life stable at the moment, you have space for some fun, so just let your imagination run wild. Whether or not you ever solve the mystery, the fantasy process you go through while thinking about it could lead you to insights into other issues in your life.
