HOROSCOPE

Aries

(March 21-April 19): If you’re in a place where second-guessing is second nature, you need a place of solace too — a stable, supportive home base.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20): The willingness to face rejection is harder than most people pretend, but it’s the most useful trait in increasing your influence today.

Gemini

(May 21-June 21): Making money doesn’t make character. The riches that earn respect may not be gold.

Cancer

(June 22-July 22): Know your reasons. This is the difference between resolutions that fail and resolutions that succeed.

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22): When the unexpected thing happens, it can be exciting but also unsettling. Go easy on yourself.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re keeping track. In everything that happens, you’ve the equivalent of the black box of an airplane accounting for it.

Libra

(Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Treat your daily life and routine as though you’ll have to do a report on it later. This level of attention will serve you well.

Scorpio

(Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your family of origin has much to report about the frailties stamped on you, but it’s the self-made part of you that shines today.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22Dec. 21): There are those who do the right thing when they’re all alone. Align yourself with them and all will be well.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you’re going to take on hard challenges, you’ll need your own thoughts and feelings supporting you.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Passion is the spark, the beginning. But it has to turn into something sustainable to be a gift.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20): There’s an ethical decision to be made. The morality of the situation isn’t deep, but it is complex. Getting away with it doesn’t make it right, and getting caught doesn’t make it wrong.

Today’s birthday

(June 24): The mission drives you. At times you’ll be hyper-productive, singlehandedly accomplishing more than whole teams do. Respect your need to hibernate and rejuvenate; it’s how you’ll stay healthy. Lifestyle upgrades are cemented in November. A new study will delight you in 2018, and you’ll be paid well, too. Leo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 44, 48 and 17.
