HOROSCOPES

Happy birthday. To others, it will seem that you have the secret, and maybe you do. Your exceptional listening skills will make your life easy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The beginning of love is intoxicating, ravishing, irresistible even. The middle mellows out. There’s no shame in that mellow middle stage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re not the only one who loves a good joke. That’s why you’ll take the time to carefully construct one for someone else today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): When you want to see someone badly enough, you’ll make it happen.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): As respectful as you are (and you definitely have no desire to overstep boundaries or make anyone feel defensive), you also have a good sense of when to move forward with certainty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It feels pretty bad when your loved ones aren’t supportive. The more you love your work the less you need them to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a good day to make “respect”

your mantra. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’re always going for greatness. Today’s version of greatness will include tenacity and originality, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Editors looking for mistakes in a text will often change the font to keep their eyes from glossing over what’s very familiar. It really works! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The reason you help people is that helping people is who you are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be sharing your memories with people who really want to know you better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re the master of being you. Just remember that you are not beholden to anyone and have only to please yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This is one of those times when it’s best to do nothing. But why do nothing passively when you can do nothing with a vengeance? Better yet, take it to the level of art, doing nothing passionately, almost actively.
