HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Money is burning a hole in your pocket now. You are definitely drawn toward entertaining yourself, so you could be tempted to spend on an impulse purchase or gamble. You still need to use common sense, but today’s opportunity could work out better than it normally would.

Taurus (April 20-May

20): You want to go in a new direction, but family may be reacting with big emotional displays. It can be hard to assess grains of truth in their complaints, but as long as you are meeting your responsibilities toward your family, you should have nothing to worry about.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You are just barely holding on to an exciting secret. Think about whether it would have any benefit beyond getting you a bit of attention. What you say could spread like wildfire, so be especially careful about broadcasting news that belongs to others.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Today you might have to put your money where your mouth is. When it actually costs you to live out your convictions, how you react can come as a surprise even to you. You may be proud to step up to the opportunity, or you may realize reality is different from what you thought.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have been shaping your public image lately, but today, any gaps between that version of you and who you really are will become apparent. Being comfortable in your human self will ultimately further your ambitions by helping you make genuine connections with others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You may become aware today that your public philosophy has discrepancies with your actual, private experiences. Don’t blurt this out immediately if you are afraid of losing social ties. There is no right answer to balancing community expectations and personal honesty.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

It is hard for you to keep things casual in your friendships today because your mind is on more intense things. There are risks to bringing up heavy topics. A potential reward, however, is you could discover you have more in common with an acquaintance than you thought.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You enjoy the company of your close relationships today, but if you are used to a particular connection being just between the two of you, that may get shaken up. This can be intimidating for you because you like your privacy. If you don’t have anything serious to hide, survive the discomfort of the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.

21): You are making a lot of progress toward taking care of your responsibilities, but your heart is calling out for more excitement in your life. Working some variety into the things you do closer to home could be more fulfilling than you think. You might try an edgy new recipe.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.

19): You might think you are having the ultimate lighthearted, fun day, but then somehow it takes a dramatic turn. Sometimes you can’t become aware of your feelings until you relax, so getting surprisingly emotional is actually a good sign you are becoming more relaxed.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.

18): You are deeply engaged in home and family life today. One of your close relationships, however, may feel left out and create drama if you do not acknowledge it. Give your family a taste of the more open version of yourself that you display in your one-on-one relationships.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March

20): If you have not started spring cleaning yet, this would be an excellent day to do so. The hard part of cleaning is not so much the physical tasks as the mental process of deciding what to keep and how to organize it. You have the inspiration to create new organizational systems that will be sustainable going forward.
