HOROSCOPES

Happy birthday. Your blessings will multiply; a fairy-godmother type comes into your life in July. Before August is over, you’ll figure out something that has worried you for years. You’ll give a life-changing gift in October.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ve a multifaceted skill set. When you don’t get to use some of these skills for a long time, you start to feel diminished. You forget all of who you are. To be able to exercise your competence will be a major lift to your spirit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When beliefs fuse into something more like stubbornness, it’s time to re-examine. Inflexible thoughts lead to intolerance and restriction. Go the opposite way and you’ll invite creativity and vitality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): It’s true that things can get pretty competitive in your professional arena. Perhaps it seems counterintuitive, but as you approach with compassion, caring and affection, this will only enhance your professional potential.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Living by your values makes you a success. It can be done at any income level, as it’s not a matter of high finance but of high return on the potential of your soul.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The winner of the game isn’t always one who wins the trophy; often it’s the one who wins hearts. To be better is to be kinder. In the long run, kindness and love will be the score that matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your contribution is exciting. And though you may not like everything they have to say about you today, rest assured there’s plenty of positive in it. Anyway, it’s better to be talked about than not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The sunshine is in you. Search for it, call on it, and draw it up. This will be easier when you’re around people who crave levity and laughter as much as you do today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The bridge from one moment to the next is called courage. Don’t worry about where you’ll find it, as it’s activated by one foot stepping in front of the other. March on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Caring about the way your project looks and feels doesn’t make you superficial, it makes you human — a being to whom aesthetics typically matter a great deal and have mattered for thousands of years.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How about you: Do you doubt what can’t be seen, or do you believe in the magic of invisible forces? Fortunately, the forces don’t depend on your belief to render aid, as evidenced by today’s unexplainable phenomenon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life is a swing, back and forth. The pendulum’s nature is to flee; the pendulum’s nature is to return. Pleasurable circumstances are temporary. So are uncomfortable ones. Hang on for the change.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some will pray to St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost objects. Others will meditate on the lost object in question, while still others will trace their own steps. Whatever your method, you’ve a lucky talent for recovery today.
