HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The walls you built to protect the being you are at the core only served to separate that being from supportive people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The person to whom you turn to confess your sins or whisper sweet nothings knows you in and out and still loves you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Be adaptable, but maintain your integrity. You have to be made of some very special matter to embody these two requirements at once. CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If you feel like your efforts are a slog, your vision isn’t clear yet. When you can see where you want to be, that’s when action becomes less work. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have an inkling that it’s only going to get better, but don’t let that keep you from fully experiencing what’s going on today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll get the opportunity to handle a sticky situation or resist a temptation. These are tests, and yes, you are being graded — officially and unofficially. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You and your loved ones will get along much better if you set your individual belief systems silently to the side for a while. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

A pleasing disposition is among the top characteristics you seek in others. You’ll be inclined to put up with someone’s moods. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Short-term fixes only lead to future problems. Seek to solve it once and for all, even if this will clearly cost more or take more time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19).

There’s a sense today that there is something important to be lost or gained in the circumstances. While this is partly true, much will depend on your perspective. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

It is important that when your inner critic makes an assertion, you question it. By no means should it be taken as the voice of reason. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you come to terms with the past and let go of the attached grievances, you will be free to soar above what has happened. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 28).

You’ll become a part of a new family of sorts in March. Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4,9, 2, 22 and 38.
