HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In the morning, you’ll have the courage to blast past what held you back yesterday. Do it like the ram that is the symbol for your sign. Put your head down and run.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is not about talent. Rather, it’s a matter of gaining skills. The universe seems to be pushing you toward the skill you need most. Hone in on this; it’s worth your focused time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a juicy challenge coming your way, like an assignment you’ve been waiting for or one you’ve feared but are completely ready for. The endeavor will grow you in the perfect direction.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Family will support you, though you may have to be explicit in your directions about how best to do this, otherwise you get what you get. It may be obvious to you but other people just won’t see it unless you lead them there.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know where you’re going, and that gives you a distinct advantage. The confidence and naturalness that goes along with this knowledge is something people sense and yield to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). One way you show your love is to kid around a bit, bring a little levity to the picture and relate to people in a way that lets them know they are on the inside, close enough to you that the relationship can bear a little goodnatured ribbing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s easy enough now, but this is only the beginning. At some point, you’ll need to apply the sort of gritty stamina and white-knuckled form of courage that the Finnish call “sisu.” Don’t worry; it will be there when you need it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Go ahead and air your feelings, but do it the way you’d air a slightly shaken bottle of club soda, half a cap twist at a time. Otherwise, an unpleasant surprise will be had by all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You wisely realize that standing on the precipice of something dangerously grand doesn’t make you the master of all that’s below. Do not let your position mesmerize you from your firm footing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’d gladly let go of what was holding you back, if only you knew what it was. Don’t ask your friends. Their answers come with baggage. An admired mentor (possibly speaking from the pages of a book) has your answer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even when you’re mad at someone, you find it much easier to be nice, which usually leads to eventually forgetting all about why you’re mad at someone. However, some slights are better to remember, just to avoid a repeat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is fickleness a mood, or is it a sign that it’s time for you to move on? Both. The mood is inspired by a sneaking suspicion that you’ve opened all the doors that can be opened in this endeavor and new challenges await elsewhere.
