Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): When you’re grown, no one has to sign a permission slip for you to go on the field trip, you just go. Maybe you forgot this and you’re still waiting for permission to adventure. Grant it to yourself and take off. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your desire to make other people’s lives better will make yours better, too. Note that “easier” is sometimes better, but not always. Be careful not to confuse the two.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): They’ll tell you that balance is a myth. They may be right. However, since each person is weighted differently (both psychically and physically) no one can define balance for another person.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): People feel as though you’re confiding in them when actually what you’re passing off as secret information is a carefully crafted message suitable for anyone. It’s called political savvy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Recent learning has you a little more aware of how the world works than you were yesterday. This doesn’t make you feel cynical. On the contrary, it makes you feel empowered.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If your selfassessment acts strictly in concert with external assessments, you’re headed in a direction that can only lead to unhappiness, emptiness and confusion. To be sure this is not the case, shut out external assessments. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Though you thrive in neatness and order, consider that a messy and authentic existence might be

better than the monotony that comes with having it all figured out. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Carefully consider the story you’re presenting to the world. A minor reworking in the way you talk about yourself and/or your business will be the difference between creating attraction and neutrality. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What stymies you in today’s situation is that you have a motive at all. Recognize what you want out of this and then let it go. Decide instead that you simply want the best for all involved.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not everything is going to work, but something should! When one attempt after another lands in disarray, it’s time to step back, look at the broad view and examine your motives in relation to this scene.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You don’t know exactly what to do next and you don’t have to know. You’re aware that a change is coming though. The most productive action will be clearing space for something to grow. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): As the sign of the fish, you sympathize with the plight of sharks. Life is movement. You have to keep going to keep breathing. Water flowing over the gills gets oxygen (and in your case, inspiration) to that incredible brain.
