Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): Boredom lacks the fiery passion of other emotions, but it’s just as important as many of those supercharged feelings. You won’t find your peak creativity, originality or unique genius without tolerating some degree of boredom.

Taurus (April 20-May

20): You lived your story; you earned it! That doesn’t mean that you want to tell it to everyone. In fact, you’ll be effectively choosey in this regard, waiting for the right audience and the moments of maximum impact.

Gemini (May 21-June 21):

Those who have earned big-time results are the only ones who can afford to talk a big talk — though, usually, because experience has taught them the precariousness of success and the value of modesty, they choose not to.

Cancer (June 22-July

22): Love the mess. Frame it as you would the artwork of a beloved young child. In many ways, you are the parent and the child all in one, and you’re in need of a little praise and enthusiasm for the early attempts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

You may feel like you’re being put on the spot today. If so, consider moving “the spot” off to the side a bit. The sideshow will attract a crowd without having the same pressures and liabilities of the mainstage productions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

The nature of marketing is hype. Since you’re being marketed to during your every waking hour, it only follows to pick up and use language of hype in your you-to-you communications. Recognize it for the exaggeration it is.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

True to his methodical, consistent nature, the tortoise wins the race. Plodding ever forward is harder than it looks — especially for those who are easily distracted (which is everyone) — but it works. You can do this!

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Instead of ruminating about what went wrong back there, imagine that it didn’t. Think of yourself as saying and doing it the way you would have liked it to go. This increases your chances of getting it right the next time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): If you’re only partway into the situation, it will take energy from the rest of your life and give you back nothing in return. For a proper return you’ll have to ramp up your commitment or get out completely.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If there’s anything you need more of, it’s not money or fun, it’s (SET ITAL) meaning. (END ITAL) When meaningfully engaged you become more yourself and yet somehow simultaneously more everyone else, too, melding with the universal mind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Comfortable ideas about who you are will keep you interacting in a certain way that may or may not benefit you, let alone keep you interested in yourself. Trade comfort for boldness, routine for adventure, worry for curiosity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March

20): When you laid down the boundary for your friend, you had a good reason. But the scene has changed and so have the both of you. It’s time for some new rules that better fit this current incarnation of the relationship.
