HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Authority issues might weigh heavily on you today. A parental figure or maybe a boss could seem controlling. It may help you to reach out to a friend or even read your favorite advice blog to get perspective on typical behavior in this situation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You are rethinking your capacity for spiritual connection. You might have been held back by your experiences with a religious institution that used control instead of guidance. Now, you’ll need to be your own authority. You decide what aligns with your life and soul.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You may need to figure out how an emotionally intense experience you had recently fits into your larger, intellectual understanding of the world. An acquaintance who doesn’t know you very well may have a fresher perspective on your situation than your close friends.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

If a close relationship feels controlling or smothering, the answer, paradoxically, may be more intimacy. It is also possible that a parental relationship is influencing this situation. Are you repeating a dynamic that you had or saw with your parents in the past? Your actions are still up to you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Today, the drudgery could feel downright oppressive. Pursuing intellectual stimulation like a thoughtful book or movie could at least give you a window out. Afterward, discussing whatever you learn with a close friend or partner could strengthen the relationship.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

The child in you may have emerged as a way to balance some of life’s responsibility, but now it has gotten too powerful. To find balance, you need to focus on adult matters. Move on to the more sensual side of adulthood at some point — kids don’t actually get all the fun.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The responsibilities of family life seem to be weighing you down now. What you really need is a date night or a good hangout with a friend. While you may get satisfaction from knowing that you are the rock in your family, balance is necessary, and you need to feel valued.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

It is easy for you to get caught up in the drama of the people around you today. However, focusing on taking care of your own responsibilities, both domestic and professional, can be grounding, and you will see you are very capable of getting things done. Start small and watch your progress grow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Money issues might be stressing you out, but how are you thinking about them? The root of a financial leak may have something to do with how you think about finances. It is fine to believe that good fortune can happen, but in the end, your fortune is what you make it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You are coming across as especially intense to others today. Even if that isn’t what you intend, there may not be much you can do to convince them otherwise. You will be better off focusing on things that have a tangible outcome. Organizing financial data would be one option.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

It may be hard for you to figure out why you have been feeling emotional lately. Talking things out with someone else can help you clarify things, but this is more of an issue within yourself than a relationship problem with anyone else, so journaling could be a substitute.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

The groups you belong to in your community or on social media might be making you crazy, especially if there are rigid standards. It may be that you would like to see more empathy for situations where there are exceptions to the rules. Take time alone to reflect on what you really value.
