Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re not in it alone today, and maybe you never were. You just didn’t know that others were dealing with the same things you were. Check in and see how your friends are faring in the process. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You may set out to get inspired and wind up something else entirely — jealous. That’s all right. Jealousy is inspiration’s close cousin, and it has quite a lot to teach you. Gemini (May 21-June 21): They say you should let your heart defy logic — as if you had any other choice! Your heart has its own kind of intelligence that your mind wouldn’t dare trespass into. Cancer (June 22-July 22): If you really do something wrong, of course you should apologize, but don’t say sorry for every little thing. For instance, you shouldn’t feel apologetic for taking up space, or having needs, feelings and intentions. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): For some reason you feel it’s your job to make sure everyone is happy. That’s an admirable position, and appropriate in many situations, especially if you’re being paid for it. Just be sure to take time for yourself. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The facts were there and you added them up, and yet you still felt that there was a deception at hand. Go with the feeling. Maybe don’t act on the feeling, but hold back any action that goes against it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Who, on the planet, is there to support you? This is the question that comes up today. It’s not about picking your favorites; it’s about knowing who’s got your back. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The quiet will bring messages. You have to be willing to sit in the quiet for a very, very long time, though. You can get the same messages by moving through life with a certain open awareness. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep it clipping along. Brevity is grace. The powerful don’t have time to trivialize. When you make it short and sweet, your message will be easily digested — or in the modern sense of it, “liked” and “shared.” Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In games of cards, the worst cards can make the best players. In games of people, the worst can be avoided. Today your heart is open, and yet you’ll be better off if you don’t even touch the deck. Move along. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): How will you contribute to the harmony of the world? Today it will not be a function of donating tons of money or completing a mission in a foreign land; rather, you’ll have a stellar attitude in your day-to-day life. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Respect is important. It’s a commodity better than dollars. It’s a currency that means more in daily life than any other. Give your respect to a person and you’re giving gold.
