HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): When you establish a boundary, you expect it to be tested, but not every time. If you have to keep asserting yourself, it might be easier to try again elsewhere.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Any effort to cling to things is tempered by this: All is temporary. Acceptownership’s fleeting nature to make room for happiness with what you have.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You strive to give your ideas the sort of rigorous inquiry that would bring about truth and reason. The guidance of others helps, too.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You need limits, but this is a time to set them far out there. You can trust yourself, so stretch; dare; and run.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re able to see bigger. Instead of doing what’s necessary to get through or get by, you’ll do what’s necessary to be the person you want to be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the action goes down today, you get the overriding sense that it’s special, singular and observable but for the briefest moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Productive change comes about very slowly. You’re in one right now, in fact, and you only need to keep going.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): To wish without commitment is a distraction that pushes your dream further away from you. Wish with intent and follow-through.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’re fascinated by how a person conducts business — restrained, disciplined, focused. You don’t fully realize that you have those qualities you admire.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not all promises come with the words “I promise,” and those that do are suspect. But if you understand who a person is, you can predict what they will do.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have a humor and a deep interest in the thoughts and lives of others. You’re headed for truly delightful interactions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Behavior is a universal language that can be trusted over any word. You will concentrate your efforts on the actions that define you.

Today’s birthday (March 2): With stars in your eyes, you will dive into a new venture. Moving forward is a glide for the first three months. Absorb all you can; apply it as you go. You probably won’t feel ready to take on greater responsibilities coming your way in June, but agree anyway. Destiny favors you. Aries and Taurus adore you. Lucky numbers: 3, 20, 1, 44, 16.
