HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): There’s no ideal condition for bringing out the best in a human. Whatever condition makes you want to be where you are is the right one.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Whatever you do, get warmed up for it. Just as cold muscles are prone to injury, cold states of being are prone to mistakes.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re that risk-taker who is beloved because you’re not afraid to be yourself. If they laugh, even better.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Maybe you’re not sure what you have to say, but you can be sure you have something. Others will benefit from hearing your unique take.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It makes you feel cool when you give recommendations that others turn out to love. Share your good taste today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You never know how loved ones are going to respond to your work. They might be jealous, or over the moon. Go forward, seeking neither permission nor blessing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Even the hard-boiled pragmatist will bend to your whimsical charms because you’re fun. Life is more interesting when you give that carefree part of yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): For the current task, what’s required is a willingness to break down the learning to the right-sized chunk, then practice until you know it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Fight your two biggest enemies: fear and distraction. Distraction is an excuse that fear uses to keep you from dedicating yourself to what you really want.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When the environment is habit-forming, the person doesn’t have to be. Take pressure off by being in the location that does the heavy lifting for you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As humans, we have a limited understanding of our own motives. You do know that you’re trying to create unity, not discord. With a willingness to check yourself, move forward.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Solid organization helps you deal with the unexpected. It allows you to be confident and relaxed whether things go to plan or not.

Today’s birthday

(March 17): You may not believe you have mystical power, but that won’t stop unexplained and wondrous events from happening to you. A secret wish will be answered. Follow through on an uncanny feeling for where to “dig.” Libra and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 14, 4 and 17.
