HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Emotional manipulation could be a challenging force in an organization you now belong to. Perhaps the least bad option is calling their bluff and giving them the level of control that they seek. Watching them discover responsibility might be delightfully informative.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

A conflict over differing views of the world could be upsetting for you at present. You may want someone else to approve of you. However, moving forward on your own and achieving a good outcome might ultimately be more persuasive. Give them something substantial!

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Your advocacy for your political views could get intense at the moment. If someone else is preventing you from living in line with your values, you probably have the right to fight back. Know the difference between a threat that truly affects you and one that can be left alone.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Collaboration could currently be a challenge for you. As the Moon meets Pluto in your 8th House of Shared Resources, you can likely break up power struggles by giving each person more space to do their own thing. Giving a looser arrangement a chance might serve everyone better.

A current fight over responsibilities could really be about deeper issues in the relationship. Perhaps the bigger problem is that the other person is somehow always the judge of what’s right. If their anxiety can actually be confined, then maybe they should do it going forward.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your community could presently be heading in a direction you don’t like. Showing your disapproval might seem like a way to slow the metaphorical locomotive down. Some of your concerns may be more valid than others, so make an effort to raise the problems in an honest way.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Arguments in a family setting may seem to have no good outcome for you now. When you have your own little world to manage, it might become easier to let some things go in the outside world. Watching what happens when you drop your end of the rope could be enlightening.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

A political argument you’re presently involved in could ultimately come down to family dynamics. If you’re related to the person you’re fighting with, current controversies may simply be hashing out ancient relationship resentments. Try to sort out what’s truly happening in the here and now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Talking about a money issue in a manipulative way could be a tempting strategy to get what you want today. You may feel picked on by another person. Is it totally true, though? When you tell a story like this, you’re telling it to yourself. Consider what’s most constructive.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Withholding money may currently seem like a valid way to take back your power in a relationship conflict. It’s actually true that some resources belong only to you, though. You can correct someone who’s overstepped reasonable limits without punishing them.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Your reaction to daily frustrations can provide a clue to what really motivates you. Paying attention to what irritates you is likely to bring useful insights. As the Moon joins profound Pluto in your sign, getting to the bottom of things should help you find a solution that truly works.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

A current kerfuffle in an organization might run deeper. While you may believe you were just trying to get things done, there’s another layer to your motivations. The worry that there’s not enough room for you could provoke you to overstep. Be responsible for what you put out.
