WEEKENDER HOROSCOPES

The industriousness that comes with Virgo energy signals high productivity levels as the moon mixes it up in this realm. The fullness of the lunar vibes has emotions of all sorts spilling over, and it’s up to us to get on board with the feelings that help our cause. Feed as much energy back into those supportive feelings as possible.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Competent people are attracted to you and will offer help doing just the thing you need. This is partly due to magical happenstance and partly because you notice and encourage the skill and talent of those around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You could be the most confident person in the world and it wouldn’t make a bit of difference in how much a certain someone likes you. It’s how you make that person feel that moves the needle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve known all along that there’s much that can only be accomplished through being around and learning from people who are different from yourself. These days, the diversity of your group is a success key.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even driven people don’t get after it at top speed through the whole journey. Comfort, sleep, inactivity, silliness and even counter-productivity are all states that have a place in the cycle of growth and attainment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The world looks fresh; the world looks broken. It’s the same world, just a different mindset guiding the eyes. Optimism sometimes feels like a stretch, but cats like you know the value in taking that stretch more or less constantly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What people are expressing to you is pretty easy to catch onto. Being advanced in your knowledge of human emotion, you take this further. You feel into the absence of feeling and learn all you need to know there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As for the art of loving and the art of being alone, both curriculums exist in the same Fine Arts Building at the University of Life. They are sister programs in the interdisciplinary track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When they ask you why you made X choice instead of Y choice, you may not have a great line of reasoning to impart. Suffice it to say, much comes to you by way of human instinct.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It will be a thrill to touch a milepost on the way to a goal. These moments need to be celebrated big-time. It’s an important moment in the brain chemistry that plays into a successful cycle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You turn to community to learn, feel love, give of your talents and make a difference to others. Even so, you’ll relish being alone after being happily depleted by your community.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to explain everything you do, not even to yourself. In fact, today, explaining would only slow you down, diminish the mystery and put a damper on the magic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be concerned with matters of respect, giving it to those who deserve it and acting in such a way that you deserve it from yourself. Whether you get it from others is a moot point. Abide by your own value system.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY You’ll realize how you were holding on for dear life to something that’s not even buoyant. A new perspective will have you dropping the thing that makes you work so hard to stay afloat (both emotionally and fiscally) in favor of a truly light and protective entity that will make your journey a pleasure. Aquarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 1, 11 and 17.

A s the moon moves into the sign of partnership, bone up on interpersonal skills such as listening. Being a good listener is neither free nor easy. The cost — your full attention and a measure of time — involves things you cannot get back. And this is why there are so many poor listeners in the world, and why the value of listening is extremely high.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being on a quest certainly brings a high, though not all quests are created equal. Who is the mission really helping? The potential for momentum increases with each person helped.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember when they tried to make you believe their misbehavior was your responsibility? It’s almost comical to you now. Almost — but not quite. The point is that you’re free. Enjoy and protect this freedom. It was hard-earned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When was the last time you spent hours on end not demanding anything from yourself? Such time to yourself is a rarity that, funnily enough, only happens when you schedule it. What’s stopping you from putting it on the books?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not the new activities that are prone to error; it’s the things you’ve done a thousand times. But you can avoid inconveniences of lost keys and the like by double-checking the easy stuff.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy a few of your favorite things: the smell of a certain spice, the sound of giggles or the soft breathing of one who naps in a warm pool of sun as your heart bubbles over with satisfaction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Dealing with the people you already know is less work than opening your emotional doors to the untested newbies. However, right now, you’ll be missing out if you don’t give a stranger a chance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t feel like you have to be the smartest person in the room. In fact, you prefer a room you can’t dominate like that. Picking the right (read: challenging) room in the first place — that’s what makes you smart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are adapting to the current circumstances and making the next logical move. Perhaps it seems obvious to you, but those observing find you wondrously original.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Comedians are often funny because their jokes make us aware of what would normally be automatic, nonchalant action. You’ll be a bit of a comedian today, observing the ordinary in a new light.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You think different things in the vicinity of different people. That certain dazzling person though — that one doesn’t even have to be around to elicit your shiniest thoughts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a time to ask why? a time to ask why not? and a time not to ask anything at all. Questions are openings. When there’s an abundance, close the gate and sort what you’ve already got.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When rejection is a possibility, most people are risk-averse to a degree. But since you’ve had such a variety of results from putting yourself on the line, you’ve become socially adventurous. That pays off today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY You know what it’s like to love big and imperfectly, and how wonderful to feel the other side of such adoration this year. You’ve a talent for interpreting and adjusting to the way others communicate. For this, you’ll be handsomely rewarded. You’ll be included in astounding projects and wins. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 14, 38, 11 and 19.
