Aries (March 21-April 19): Happiness is operating with the full use of your powers. Of course, you don’t really know what that means until you are issued the challenge of taking on more than you think you are capable of.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It all comes back to the question of what is within your power and what isn’t. It’s important that you do not count what was in your power yesterday. Focus on today. What could you change today if you felt so inclined?

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When your body needs a workout, you move yourself around the block. When your brain needs a workout, you read. Today it’s your heart that needs the exercise. You’ll strengthen it by loving under difficult circumstan­ces.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s a reason why you are attracted to things that, when taken in certain quantities, are dangerous. The thing you say will be your ruin will actually be your salvation, too. Everything in moderation!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The instinct to duck and hide is a healthy one to some extent; however, it simply won’t be enough to save you fromthe responsibi­lities of tomorrow. Your best bet is to face the music, or possibly to renegotiat­e.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some people think they have a right to judge the things you do. Those people are deluded. The only way they have power over you is if you give it to them. Don’t give it to them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The directive is to “work like a dog,” even though a lot of the “dogs” you know sleep about 80percent of the day and all of the night. Hopefully the confusing message will be invitation enough to entice you to get more sleep.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Whatever you can do to avoid worry, stress and tension today will be something positive for your health, even if that activity wouldn’t classicall­y be, say, recommende­d by a doctor.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll get back muchmore than you give. This isn’t what you were going for, and in fact it may not please you much, even as it causes you to give more and more.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take the pressure off. Lower the stakes. Change the way you’re thinking about the challenge. It is when you’re not overly concerned with failing or succeeding that you will do your very best.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may think that people aren’t being helpful to you, but that’s where you’re wrong. They are actually much more helpful in their unhelpfuln­ess than they ever could be by giving you the assistance you asked for.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The teacher will show you an example and then step back in full belief that you will rise to the occasion. You will; you know. Maybe not the first time, or the second, but eventually.
