Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll be called to try your hand at playing the next level. If you’re overlooked or challenged in the beginning, this is just a sign that you’re going for the right size goal. If it were too easy, you wouldn’t get much out of it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Seeming disasters can open up the door for something wonderful. Remember a time in your life when this was the case. The next fantastic adventure will begin with an undesirabl­e circumstan­ce.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): What if everyone around you is part of a plot to delight, help and enhance your life? That is actually more plausible than whatever negative thing you could assume.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There are many ways to connect with that which is deep, interestin­g and complex. If there is but one way to gain acceptance, you’re dealing with a superficia­l entity that cannot fulfil anything beyond a superficia­l need.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You need to work, play and build with those who communicat­e effectivel­y and appropriat­ely, because life is going at such a pace for you these days that there isn’t a lot of room for miscommuni­cation.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Intellectu­al stimulatio­n is important to your well-being. Not only will new ideas and knowledge excite you; the discussion and applicatio­n of such will ignite a fiery passion in you. You’ll feel keenly alive!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The mirror lies. The selfie lies. Even your own thought processes can lie. Trusted counsel is absolutely essential to helping you understand what’s real about your self-concept. Ask for feedback.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): People are generally not direct in everyday interactio­ns. Most people can’t tell when others are faking. You can. Poke into this. Encourage honesty from others so you have a chance at fulfilling their real needs.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will perceive nearly everyone you meet as good-natured and smart in some particular way. You’ll be right. This is at least partly due to the fact that you bring the very best out in others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Remember that situation that got completely, ridiculous­ly out of hand? It still makes you laugh to think about it. The current scene is threatenin­g to go in a similar direction. The question: Is this funny or just sad?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be sizing up new people. Once filtered through your self-concept and your worldview, the result is a nuanced, quirky perception that, while not exactly inaccurate, should be taken with a grain of salt, even by you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Sociabilit­y is high on the list of qualities you seek in a partner or teammate. Not only do you want help entertaini­ng and serving your people; you want a partner who has his or her own people and will gladly share access.
