HOROSCOPES
Your birthday today: You will spend a good deal of time training your mind to be stronger than your emotions so you can execute plans without being derailed by the inevitable distractions and enticements of life. Scorpio and Cancer people adore you.
Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Your heart is calm and your creativity is lit. It is no coincidence that these things are happening simultaneously. Being creative is essential to your well-being; visit it as often as possible.
Aquarius: Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Validation is for parking, not lunching or dating or working. You need so much less of it than you once did, and you try and make others comfortable so they are not seeking it from you either.
Pisces: Feb. 19-March 20 You wouldn’t dream of watching another person struggle while knowing you could do something about it. Why shouldn’t you expect the same? It’s time to pitch out those who don’t pitch in.
Aries: March 21-April 19 You are happy about being able to do the things that you once couldn’t. The list includes new items and ones that go way back. Never forget that there was a time when you couldn’t hold up your own head.
Taurus: April 20-May 20 If you can arrange to be in a crowd, it will be a helpful and healthful perspective shift for you. You will like seeing how many do things just like you do, and likely feel and think similarly, too.
Gemini: May 21-June 21 Don’t worry if you find yourself out of your element. There are a lot of people who know what they are talking about, but far fewer people who know when it’s wiser not to be talking at all.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 Sure, there are days when your requests get into the rotation. But for the most part, life plays its own music. You have little control over which song comes next but a lot over how you dance to it.
Leo: July 23-Aug. 22 The answer is “no” to 100% of the questions that are never asked. Questions are like keys today and will require finesse, so give them a little jiggle and a twist.
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Sometimes the way to win is to play harder and smarter, and sometimes it’s not to play at all. Step back for the big strategy beyond this game.
Libra: Sept. 23-Oct. 23 These are dicey times, with divided opinions being the norm even in your immediate circle. Luckily, your diplomacy makes a point without making an enemy.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 21 Your dreams can be your wings, but only if you bring them into the world and involve others. Otherwise, dreams are like a virtual reality headset, keeping you isolated in a lonely experience.
Sagittarius: Nov. 22-Dec. 21 There is something good in every day, but more things good about today. You will want to keep track of this; write about it or snap a pic so you can look back later to bask in the emotional sunshine.
