HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Exposing what you feel insecure about is the confident move. To those with a core belief of worthiness, vulnerability is less of a risk.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): An interest in widening your circle suggests your values are changing too. And when your values match with those of another, attraction naturally follows.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You will help someone heal and grow and, in the process, be helped, healed and elevated by the experience.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ve been thinking about what others get out of being in a relationship with you and what you get out of being in a relationship with others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You make efforts not to be too nice, try too hard, or take responsibility for another person’s happiness.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You prefer to know what others want from you. You’ll make a quest out of it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If someone doesn’t seem to like it when you go about meeting your needs in your own way, that person might be trying to control you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): No two people are completely alike, so to understand another person requires bridge building.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Empathy helps you navigate relationships that would be impossible to understand if not for your ability to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are willing to spend the entire day in an uncomfortable state if it means you can finally get the result you deeply desire.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You no longer hold yourself responsible for the actions

or emotions of others, nor do you expect others to be responsible for the way you feel.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Though it’s nice to be appreciated “as is,” the one who pushes you to try harder will earn your respect and affection.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 5): You will discover your own Elysium Field, an idyllic haven into which you have earned entry. As it is with all beautiful situations on Earth, this environment has a timeline, which makes it all the more important that you live it up! The work you do in November is the start of a difference you make in the lives of others where you can. Aries and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 25, 7, 13 and 2.
