HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): To honestly and respectfully speak your mind on a regular basis to your close loved ones is a healthy part of adult relationships.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ve burdened yourself with too many responsibilities: bad for you, bad for your relationships. Reassign some of this before you start feeling resentful.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you’re in deep, waves of emotion are a ride. When you’re not in deep, you’re like a person knee-deep in the ocean. The wave could rudely knock you down.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Having this or that kind of feeling doesn’t make you this or that kind of person. There’s a core part of you that is a witness to your experience of it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You won’t know for sure what it was or what it is until you step back, open your imagination and ask, “What could it be?”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This weekend features either a big project or a massive one. Everything that comes together will be the result of a series of small action steps.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is like a rope game. Hold on when it’s tugging and you might get burned. You can’t always decide beforehand when you’ll let go.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The benefits of an exciting hobby cannot be underestimated. To cultivate such an interest will turn up your joy and vitality. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You won’t mind playing bad cop to another person’s good cop as the means to an end. This will keep the peace.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When someone keeps reaching out to you even though you’re not reaching back, there’s a motive to examine. Is it love? Profit? Are you somehow a key to their personal narrative?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are generous, but don’t share all you know. Only those who have worked hard to get to a certain level will understand.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It would be wrong to assume that your honest feelings, thoughts and drives will automatically cause a problem. Today’s birthday (Aug. 5): The cosmic fairy dust can’t wait to blow a gift your way, so kick this one off with a wish list. It’s a brand-new beginning. Avoid doing the same thing the same way as last year. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 3, 20, 37 and 41.
