HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April

19): You can probably get what you want today, up to a point. That said, no amount of buttering people up will successfully camouflage demands that are truly aggressive. Use your best judgment about what is appropriate to ask for. If you can’t be reasonable, at least be honest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Seeing a pal with something cool might inspire you to get a similar item for yourself. Perhaps you’ve been secretly desiring such an upgrade for some time but didn’t have the confidence it would work out as expected in real life. You’re allowed to trust your new knowledge on the subject.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

A power struggle could be hard to rein in today. Perhaps an authority figure has overstepped an important boundary, but don’t take your own word for it. Ask your friends how you’re really coming off. Their advice should be in your best interest even if it’s not exactly what you’d prefer to hear.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Finding a way to relieve your boredom could be a challenge. Sharing information that’s scandalous or dramatic may seem to provide the excitement you crave. You’d be better off identifying something positive you’d like to be noticed for and focusing your energy on that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Finding a balance when sharing personal matters could be difficult. You’ll probably find it rewarding to take your discussion in an intellectual direction. Exercising your brains should give you a chance to bond without a heart-toheart that someone’s not in the right mood for.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Asserting your authority in a close relationship could now seem crucial. You probably have legitimate needs that aren’t being met. If you can be vulnerable enough to share them, you may not just solve the issue; you may also build the intimacy necessary for a lasting connection.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Spontaneous travel could be tempting. Sometimes you’re better off having faith that things will work out instead of planning every little detail. Some seemingly minor considerations can make a big difference in how you enjoy your experience. Let your companion advise you on any questions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You’re curious. However, some people may respond badly to topics they’d prefer to keep private. You’ll have to distinguish the information you truly have a reason to know. You can build trust by asking solely for what’s necessary to do your job — then stopping there.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Tension in a close relationship could rattle your sense of emotional security. It may stress you out that you don’t know all the answers, but admitting when that’s the case can get you further than bluffing. As long as everyone wants resolution, you’re on the right track.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Getting heated regarding routine responsibilities is a risk for you. Your emotions about your duties can cloud the way you talk about them to others who have a stake in the situation. Maybe you’d be better off airing your feelings before discussing the practical stuff.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Spending money on a hobby could be hard to resist. This doesn’t have to be a selfish choice. When you’re in a positive emotional place, you’ll likely share that upbeat mood with the people around you. The best-case scenario might be getting them to join what you’re doing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Noticing anything that feels uncomfortable at home could help you make valuable changes. You’re equipped to spend money on bringing lasting improvements. Knowing your limits is a bigger accomplishment than you may think. Take pride in your ability to lead.
