HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Once you thought you knew what you wanted to be when you grew up, but not anymore. Anyway, it’s not what you should be but what you should do that matters.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Let the feeling flow, because it will be cleansing. Feel it all so you can close the curtain on this act and move on to the next one.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Good food, music and conversation deserve special notice and thoughtful consideration.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): As for that task that seems to be making you so unhappy: Maybe you can’t cut it out completely yet, but there’s a way to do less of it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): What you’re looking for will be found soon — or rather, it will come find you shortly after you stop looking.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The love, care and respect you give yourself will show others that you’re someone to treat with the same.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There are people who make your life better by being in it and people who make your life better by staying out of it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Being alone and enjoying it prevents you from using others as an escape. You’ve been used in that way before, and you didn’t like the pressure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To get into a creative mindset will take a conscious effort. You’ll have to

plan it, follow through and protect yourself from distraction and diversion.

They will be a source of pride and promotion for you. What you accomplish by the end of the year will put you in the running for an award. Love and adoration will be lavished on you in 2019.
