HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As much as you love your people, you also need to take care of yourself. The perspective you get from alone time is invaluable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not as comfortable as you want to be, and yet the day goes better when you focus on what there is to love about your domestic life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Ask your important question because it’s like the whole universe is conspiring to answer you. Also, the answer could come from anywhere.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whatever the worst task is, do it first. Just get it over with so you don’t have this expectation of unpleasantness hanging over your head anymore.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In something as simple as a short conversation, many different kinds of currencies are being exchanged. The one that seems the most important is actually the least important.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you think your job is hard, try imagining the hard jobs required throughout humanity’s existence. Research reveals that pretty much all of society has been built on hard jobs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love isn’t defined by a length of time. It’s an investment that can happen little by little over weeks or decades, or it can happen all at once.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Treat technology as a servant and not a master. To answer every call and text would be a mistake. Such distractions keep you from the real-life matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You may have to talk things out to a few different people before you find the right spin, so start with the people who are kind, objective and likely to give you good feedback.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). This isn’t a day to worry about such things as large as “career” or “lifestyle,” rather it’s a time to focus on the small and simple questions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). A lot of wonderful and terrible things will happen — as they always do. Much will depend on the tone you generate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The people you think will be helpful will not be so helpful at all. It’s not their fault. The expectation was all yours.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 25). Your excellent judgment leads to a big January win. Cancer adores you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 19, 18 and 33.
