Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19):

If you can win small, you can win big. You’ll do both. Along the way, you’ll also lose on either side of the equation, and that’s just part of it. The important thing is to have courage and take none of it personally.

You may want to be different, but the point of the game isn’t to change yourself. This is about accepting yourself more and more fully. As you do this, you’ll become increasingly powerful.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Gemini (May 21-June 21):

Don’t worry if your focus of interest isn’t everyone’s today. A subject doesn’t have to be broadly trending to be absolutely compelling. It only has to be fascinating to you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):

The challenge is simple. The circumstance is straightforward. It’s something to be protective of because this dynamic can change in an instant — the instant a complicated person gets involved.

You may be changing the world, but it’s difficult to see the change over the course of a day. That’s where hope and faith come in and on days like today it’s hard to generate that on your own. Stick by the hopeful, faithful people.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

It’s as though there’s something in you that doesn’t like to be too good for too long. It’s the quality that keeps you absolutely riveting to some people around you. So go on and spice it up. They’re expecting you to bring the fun.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

Nature is one way,

the facts of which cannot be changed today. However you can use what nature gives you in a way that enhances and improves your experience.

Your life is your own recipe. You may pull inspiration from various places — the internet, fiction, friends — but ultimately no one has the exact instructions for this dish. It’s your own magnificent creation.

You would pass one of your responsibilities onto another if there were someone around who could handle it half as well. Alas, this is important, and if it’s to be done right, it is to be done by you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Some jobs are important and urgent and must be completed quickly, for better or worse, to serve the bigger picture. Other jobs are even more important and must be handled right no matter how long that takes.

When people act right because they are afraid to do something wrong, it doesn’t count as virtuous. The true mark of good character is one who feels they have a full range of choices and yet they still choose right.

No one can blame you for being a little extreme today. When all goes well, drudgery will be redeemed by success, and the parts remembered will be the dazzling highs and the dismal lows, not the tedium in between.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
