Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re not sure why you feel the way you do, but you can be sure that there’s a good reason. There’s a gift in these feelings that will be presented as you heed them or explore them. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re brilliantly intuitive, but smart to keep it to yourself today. While your best guess might be correct, it won’t be a good idea to share the speculation, certainly not publicly, and especially not in writing. Gemini (May 21-June 21): The giving you do will be better when there’s no price tag involved. Here’s the best gift: Tell someone the story of where your love started and how it grows. There’s no story sweeter. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Ask for it in writing. Start a paper trail. Take a picture. You trust people, but everyone behaves better when the systems of accountabilities are obviously in place. Records matter. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The expected norms and safely appropriate behaviors aren’t usually high on your list of fun things to adhere to, but today they’ll give you a thrill anyway. You’ll approach them as an artist and a diplomat to excellent effect. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you. This is who you really are. Now find the scissors (they are in the drawer behind your mind’s eye) and cut ties with any part of you that opposes the vision. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The actions you take every day are adding up and you’ll soon open your bloom to the sun, experiencing life in the way you feel you were meant to. It takes time though. Keep working and be patient. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your life is an expression of your soul. When you align with that idea, making a good impression seems a little beside the point, though it might happen anyway, quite by accident. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You understand your role better than ever. Because you know what it feels like to get to the place where a sense of appreciation, excitement and pride kick in, you’ll find it impossible to stop before you get there. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The sunrise is a spectacle extraordinaire that most people miss on the daily. While we need the sun very much, our lives orbit around other things. Something magical will happen when you put a higher priority on beauty. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Once you figure out that the remote control you hold doesn’t go to the device you’re pointing it at, you set it down and go looking for the right controller. Letting go doesn’t take courage; it takes intelligence. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It is possible for a person to change your energy just by existing in the vicinity. It’s why spiritual protection is just as important for you as a jacket or umbrella when it’s cold out. DEAR ABBY >> I have been married to my husband for five years. We live in the same town as my in-laws, and for the most part, we get along great. However, my motherin-law does something that makes me uneasy. She uses an app to track my husband. She pressured him into installing it right before our wedding and has tracked him ever since.

She’ll often text or call him to ask why he’s going to the store, or what he was doing when he was late to work, etc. Once he tried to remove the app, but she quickly noticed and confronted him. Abby, I have never seen her so angry! My husband caved and reinstalled it. Since then, he says it doesn’t really bother him that she tracks him.

Part of me feels that if he wants to let his mother track him, that’s his business. But another part of me feels this is an invasion of my privacy as well, since we are together much of the time. It also worries me that he’s so quick to cave to his mother’s demands, and that he isn’t bothered by such an obvious invasion of privacy.

Am I wrong to be upset about this? What can I do to get my mother-in-law to give us some privacy?

— Uneasy in Kansas

DEAR UNEASY >> You’re not wrong. Your husband should revoke the location permission on the app on his phone or delete it altogether.

What his mother is doing is sick. She is using the tracker as a substitute for the umbilical cord that should have been severed when her son was born. It’s a huge invasion of your and your husband’s privacy.

He is so used to caving in to his mother that he doesn’t have the strength to assert himself. I do not think you should take your mother-inlaw on by yourself. Enlist the help of a licensed marriage and family therapist for suggestions about how to create some separation, because that process may be somewhat complicated.

DEAR ABBY >> My relationship with my boyfriend has been wonderful, except for one issue. He wants us to have a three-way with another woman. Even after I let him know I’m not bisexual, he has suggested it multiple times. Some of my previous partners have suggested this as well, and it has left me feeling as though I will never be enough. I consider it cheating, although they might disagree because I would be involved.

I find this extremely hurtful. I love my boyfriend and don’t want to end the relationship, but I’m afraid I must because I don’t want to be with someone I can never satisfy (he has mentioned he plans to propose).

What do you think? I wish he had never asked me to do this because it feels horrible. If any male readers have insight, I’d love to hear from them as well. — Not enough

DEAR NOT ENOUGH >> What your boyfriend has suggested is a common male fantasy. I can only wonder if he would react the same way you have if you suggested a threesome with him and another man.

Because this isn’t your cup of tea, you are right to have refused. What concerns me is what you think is going to happen if the two of you should marry, because this issue will not go away once the “I do’s” are over. As you requested, I will let male readers weigh in on this one, but personally, I think the time has come to resume your search for Mr. Right.
