HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): To feel that everything is a necessity is a warning sign that you may be avoiding an uncomfortable reality. Your necessities are covered, for the most part.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Eye contact is your most effective accessory. Of course, it’s impossible to wear well while using your phone.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): An obsession with the perfect moments of the past can be a lovely distraction every bit as fanciful as fictional storytelling. Tap into your own artistry.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): No place is inherently superior. Each place is just a better or worse fit for the organism trying to inhabit it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When you act intentionally, your action automatically has a purpose. When you act unintentionally, the purpose is lost. Get aware.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The scene will change, and you will need to change too. That which dissolves you allows you the opportunity to build yourself up anew.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The story of meeting a person is likely to reflect the story of the relationship. But it does make you think twice about your social game.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You have already learned what you need to do. This is one of those times when it will be better to seek forgiveness than permission.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your contributions are quality and should be honored as such. Particularly precious is your attention. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Lao Tzu said, “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” In the next 24 hours, you’ll benefit from both sides of this statement.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People may behave in pitiful ways, but do not give them your pity. Give help, support or something more concrete instead.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You need many more muscles to frown than you do to smile. Emotional engagement is your preferred work of the day. Today’s birthday (July 27): This solar return sees you opening your heart to new people and places, adding excitement and spice to your world. Your commitment to a cause will bring multiple rewards in 2018. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 45, 38, 31 and 49.
