HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Impressing someone powerful may be important today. Having a sense of your own power might be the most important thing. Achieving your desired outcome is not as dependent on the other person as you think, and acknowledging this can help you handle the situation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Actions could speak louder than words today. You have to admit that your activities are different from what you believe you should be doing. While you may be able to get away with this for now, the more important question is whether you want to live like that.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

An organization you belong to could be giving you a lot to think about. Although things are pleasant on the surface, you might be aware of complicated interpersonal dynamics underfoot. You may want to get all the facts before you discuss your next moves.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

A professional relationship could be intense, as a recent advance might have come with costs. Feeling like you must navigate changes alone is likely to increase your anxiety. Talking to friends to get a sense of what’s common should help you avoid getting taken advantage of.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Staying focused on your responsibilities could be difficult today, as the prospect of something more fun probably beckons. That said, if you’re able to look at the details, you may get a glimpse of your larger professional direction. That might help you focus long enough to finish your to-do list. Enjoy yourself with fewer reservations.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You feel like you’re not getting taken seriously when you merge resources with others. It could be time to openly admit what you want. The biggest things that might need to change are your beliefs and expectations about this kind of collaboration.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You might be suspicious of anyone who wants to get close to you. Commitment may worry you because you feel like you’ll get sucked into something that could potentially steal your independence. Unraveling your emotions about sharing might be necessary to handle this situation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You may really want chores done your way today. However, make sure that you don’t become a tyrant. Though you might be challenged to see that others have their own valid priorities, hurting a relationship over this is just not worth it. Focus on what is yours to control.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Impulse purchases could be tempting today. Spending money you can’t really spare to satisfy your emotional needs is likely to lead to disappointment. You might find it rewarding to focus on chores that keep you grounded. Being able to point to concrete results may give your self-esteem a boost that is sustainable and affordable.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Loosening up may help you in your home life. Though perhaps there’s a power struggle, you might need to let go of the issue before the other person. They could perceive you as having an agenda. Expressing yourself can dispel misconceptions.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You tell people what they want to hear, allowing you to get what you want. However, just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Shore up your emotional security, and then see whether what you were hoping to talk somebody into is worth the trouble.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Money may seem to be the answer to a friendship problem. Perhaps you feel intimidated by someone involved in the situation. If you talk things out, you might find a solution that doesn’t involve your wallet. A few questions could reveal that you’ve assumed something that isn’t true.
