Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19): The mighty warrior knows that battling is one way to the victory, but it’s not the only way. Some of the best victories are handed over. Negotiation will serve you well today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): To keep the peace you may have to let a few things slide. It’s in your best interest not to be difficult. There are so many benefits to playing well with others. Success will be as simple as finding and sharing some fun.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re excellent at paying attention to others in a casual, low-key way that winds up somehow making them feel very special. Consider dialing up the effort a few notches — turning the gesture into a memorable experience.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Fitting opportunities will be the cosmic boon of the day. You’ll find out where to get training to improve an area of life in which you’ve been ailing or ignorant. This is the start of something good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You could be feeling uncharacteristically reserved. Counteract this bout of shyness with a friendly action. Start up a conversation. One connection will lead to another.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s not like you’re searching for tenderness and friendship in this harsh and competitive world, but when you accidentally stumble across it today you’ll realize how much you needed it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What starts as a gentle and workable plan will quickly turn into something that creates change in many areas of your life at once. Small improvements will add up to big differences.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Certain rituals make you feel in control. For instance, making your bed. Nothing bad happens if you leave it unmade. But you make it anyway, because it reminds you that you’re a person who cares about order and beauty.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You’ll hit a pocket of very interesting chaos. Observe, but not too close up, or you’ll get sucked into the vortex of this strange distraction, and it won’t be so easy to find your way out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You’ve an uncanny sense of timing. You pick up on the pulse of things around you and can ride and participate without missing a beat. This talent will serve you well in matters of finance, poetry, comedy, music and flirtation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Things happened in one order, but you may choose to relay them in a different order, which changes things. That’s the thing about stories: They belong to the person telling them, including accompanying liberties.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t ask if they know what you mean. The ones who do know will find the question superfluous and the ones who don’t are a lost cause. If you know what you mean, that’s enough. Go forward in confidence.
