HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): A completely peaceful and quietly powerful frame of mind will allow you to control what you can and ignore the rest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You envy people who have the luxury of being able to follow their whims. Today brings a lucky break.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Block out large chunks of time that you can dedicate to what you want to do. If you don’t do this now, your time will be quickly booked up with what you’re only mildly into. Cancer (June 22-July 22): The scientists suggest that the secret to science is asking the right question. Start with what’s relevant, and expand to the question that covers more than that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s something important happening here, and if you don’t tune in you’ll miss it and waste time going back to pick up what you missed. So tune in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fear, when channeled well, is better than coffee at keeping you alert and focused. Fear will elasticize time for you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You may blow through hours making plots that fill the wastebasket, but it’s nothing compared to what you’d waste following a bad plan.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s not foresight or hindsight but insight that will serve you the best. Insight is the easiest kind to change.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Listen to what’s said. That’s a no-brainer, though it’s even more important to understand what’s not being said.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): People often believe what their friends tell them over what the expert might say. Ultimately though, people believe what they tell

themselves.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Irresistible things tug at a part of the mind and spirit where logic’s never stepped — a place of magic and memories and happenings that defy the rules of economics and commerce.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There will be selfish attention-stealers out there — marketers, companies and people who want your focus but will not repay you for it in any meaningful way. Today’s birthday (Oct. 4): Heart connections drive the action this year. Changing one habit will lead to favorable results in many areas of life. Your reach broadens through efforts of the next five weeks. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 12, 3, 30 and 17.
