Mercury, Mars and Windshields
The difficult angle of Mercury to Mars will highlight the importance of unobstructed perspective. Just think about what it’s like to drive with a dirty windshield: Even an obstruction as thin as a layer of dust or condensation can be troublesome. To enjoy a sense of safety and confidence, take the time to clear the windshield of your mind.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). This status quo wasn’t imposed on you; it was created by you. Nonetheless, you find yourself wanting something different. You’ll fly in the face of routine and exercise your free will to design anew.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People who don’t know what is expected of them are unlikely to deliver it. You’ve a talent for cluing people in to the implicit rules and an even greater talent for communicating expectations explicitly and early in a process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many (not all) physicists support the idea of a future that does not yet exist. In each moment, you are creating outcomes that sway the future in a direction -- a responsibility to take seriously today and playfully tonight.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do not be afraid to teeter into whimsy or introduce an element of the absurd. A touch of madness can be the electric spark that sets a work apart from the rest, although too much will make the work unrelatable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you care enough about getting a thing right, you’ll do it as many times as it takes to hit the mark, and you won’t stop there. You’ll raise the bar; you’ll teach others; you’ll change the form.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t worry too much about differences today. Civility is important. Agreement is not. Cold air meets hot air and weather is born. It’s the conflict that keeps the clouds changing shape.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Loyalty is so important to you. You stick by the ones you love and show up for them in times of need. That’s the obvious part. It’s less obvious but equally important to be present to their victories and celebrations.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Inside every problem is the seed of new possibility. But in that particular kind of problem labeled “conflict,” there are especially potent and plentiful seeds that can grow out of a thoughtful resolution.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re an artist whether or not you identify as such. The artistry comes from the way you approach, with a commitment to mastering and embodying the thing until it’s an extension of your very being.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Each time you welcome someone, you see them anew. You seek an understanding of them at this point in their journey, knowing that it will be different from who they were yesterday. You’ll discover new needs to fill.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t be too quick to eliminate tension -- not until you know its source, cause, effect and nature. It very well may be that tension is holding the whole thing up! How much energy is stored in the cord? Cutting could be dangerous!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though close relationships could possibly and rightly be subject to grievances and scorekeeping, the process of nursing blame would only distract from the more worthwhile effort of self-development.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 23). You’ve a tingling sense for a fortunate future. You’ll jump on a hot trend and be the early adopter who can wring the dividends and fun out of it due to your excellent timing.
The pleasures you savor are made all the sweeter by your talent for attracting the company who really appreciates the fullness of life as you do. Scorpio and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 38, 10, 4, 44 and 17.
LEO SECRET SUPERPOWERS: Every sign has ‘em. For LEO:
The Obvious: Leo will take a group of people and turn them into an audience, focused on Leo and enthralled by whatever the lion has up a sleeve. This is unifying. The people in the audience will have something in common with one another that they didn’t have before the show went on.
The Uncanny: Leos remember the random details of their friends’ lives -- and not the details their friends would prefer they remember. It’s as though Leo is always collecting data for the next role or the next manuscript. This is probably exactly the case.
The Weird: The lion is a predator. If you ever have a strange feeling that your Leo friend wants to take/eat/pounce on something of yours, protect it! Animal instincts are real. Don’t forget that humans are animals, too.
The Extremely Useful: Leo will help you put your best foot forward publicity wise.
The Quietly Helpful: If you are bored, Leo will unbore you. Often, this sign has latent talents -- musical, emotional, intrapersonal and more. Leo will employ them all to make a good friend smile.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: This October will bring to the Halloween party a horror film that has all the makings of a classic. “Antlers” stars the enchanting Keri Russell, an Aries with many planets in intuitive water signs. Trivia question: What does Russell have in common with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake? They all starred in “The Mickey Mouse Club.”
