Taurus (April 20-May 20): You haven’t fully lived until you’ve given what cannot possibly be repaid.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re drawn to those who have earned their status. And though you’ve less respect for those who have inherited their status, you might also learn from their point of view.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s something heroic in you. It will show in today’s reflexive impulse — a lightning-quick response to the needs of others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): To extract meaning and deep engagement from your activities is to avoid the anxiety and destruction that can sneak through the alleyway

of existential boredom.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is only when you dismiss or ignore the message of emotions that they become a problem in your day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today you’ll be a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place — from passersby, from the sky, from the pages of your book, from the places you land on the Internet and more. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.

18): You’ll have the option to align with what’s powerful or with what’s cool.
