Horoscopes
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you ask a question, you actually want to know the answer. You’ll field questions asked for different reasons -- for instance, out of politeness, a need for validation or to fulfill an agenda.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Reacting to triggers and following impulses takes very little energy when compared with the energy required to exercise restraint. Honor and reward yourself for the things you didn’t do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When the show is running right, the spotlight operator follows your performance around the stage. Unfortunately, the tech is asleep. Don’t worry, this can still work; you just have to go to where the light is.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The atmosphere lends profundity to your plot. When things work out the way you want, it feels like destiny. When they don’t, that also feels fated, like a hundred tiny arrows pointing you in a better direction.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love yourself. The command is difficult because it is open. Its nonspecificity leaves a question mark on your todo list, and maybe there is nothing to be done. You can love yourself without action. Make it a mood, a state of mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Appetite can be a gift. Some temptations aren’t worth the energy they take to resist. Temptation is proof that you’re vital, alive, curious, interested in life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In movies, you can see a whole lifespan in two hours. Time moves differently in the movies you make in your mind as well. You’ll do some mental time travel today to work out a problem.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Add happy thoughts to your endeavor. Encourage yourself and go where others are likely to cheer you on. Protect the dream by avoiding anyone who might be jealous or critical of it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). They’ll give you the fantasy version of a story. You’d rather know facts, but fictions can be very revealing, too, as you listen closely and read between the lines.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You teach people around you how you like to be treated. Keep principles of consistency in mind. Actions that create the same results repeatedly facilitate quick learning.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People make books, and books make people. You’ll mold yourself through reading and other media, mostly unconsciously, as the attractive ideas and traits of characters will stick to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No matter how good your routine may be, if it’s all you do, it will hold you back. Vitality craves variety. Anything that gets you up and out of your comfort zone will be good for your wellbeing.
