HOROSCOPES TODAY IN HISTORY
Aries (March 21-April 19):
Knowing who to trust can be tricky. You might be faced with two different stories. When it comes to what really happened, reserve your judgment and avoid letting your emotions get ahead of your reasoning. Remember: The truth will eventually be revealed to everyone.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
Your perspective might be skewed, landing you in hot water. Defensiveness and exaggerations are both pitfalls you could fall into, especially if you aren’t grounded and don’t notice when other people work to manipulate you. The more control you have over yourself today, the better.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
You could feel caught in the middle of two people who both have a strong influence on your life. You may not know who you want to side with, so make a point of staying neutral unless you feel morally called to one side. That should be the fastest way to douse the fire.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
Your recent life could feel rather unfocused as you let the currents of time carry you where they will. Don’t get pulled astray. There needs to be a bit of paddling coming from you in order to reach the shore and enjoy some stability. Search for a way to ground yourself and start tracking your progress.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Travel might be calling your name. You may feel that it’s too sudden to plan travel at this time, but getting out of your comfort zone in small ways could be enough to fulfill this need for change. The scenery around you can inspire you and affect both your mood and mindset.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
You might be collaborating with someone you’ve never worked alongside before. Do your best to make the most of this opportunity and stay humble because acting as if you know more than you do will likely land you in hot water. Take time to learn from others around you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Someone else can take the reins today. It’s okay not to be okay, and if you need a helping hand, you should ask for it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Family members, found or biological, have wisdom to offer. They may provide their knowledge by telling you about past experiences that they or other relatives went through. If you’re building a life on your own, learn from those who came before you to create what you want now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
