Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): Nature is stronger than man. Then again, man is a part of nature. You’ll prove the mightiness of the human spirit in some way today as you go up against the big forces and win. Taurus (April 20-May 20): After periods of high exertion you need time to relax and recover. If you don’t consciously and regularly schedule this, you’ll miss it and burn out later. Take care of your health and happiness now by making a plan. Gemini (May 21-June 21): In order to better achieve the group goal, people must feel safe enough speak up about what’s working and what’s not. If everyone is too afraid to challenge or change the way things are going, the outcome will suffer. Cancer (June 22-July 22): There will be flashy, glamorous and dramatic situations to get involved in today, but should you? You won’t be sorry if you instead choose your company the same way you choose your shoes — for comfort and long wear. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Maybe you shouldn’t tell everyone about the extensive effort you put into getting to a certain result. Your payoff will come when the others figure out that they can’t easily duplicate what you just pulled off. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You won’t get the sale, promotion or attention necessary to move forward unless people know what you’re doing and why. So don’t be shy today; publicize your work. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your social talents will be put to good use now. You’ll connect people who can do one another good. You’ll set a tone where people feel comfortable enough to contribute. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There’s nothing wrong with wanting appreciation and love. It doesn’t make you automatically needy just because you have the very basic human drive to be valued. Be suspicious of anyone who tries to make you feel otherwise. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may not agree right now with what you did back there, but you made the best decision you could make based on the information you had at the time. Knowing more, you’ll do it differently today. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve been wronged — probably just a misunderstanding — and you’ll work it out. Being too conciliatory would be a mistake. Don’t mute your own interests more than is good for the relationship going forward. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The day has exciting potential for you as you follow a fascinating lead. Where high standards meet with prepossessing features, a strong attraction will develop. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Mistakes teach us how to be more flexible in the future. They also make us compassionate. Accept yourself and move on. You’re becoming stronger and more able every day.
