Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You already have the tools for being perfectly happy in the moment, but those skills have been a bit neglected. You can access great contentment through your senses, emotions and detached observations.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Avoid getting stuck in an unhelpful brain loop that includes a lot of time jumping. Stop and take note of how you’re feeling, what you’re sensing right now and what’s going on in your immediate environment.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): To meet today’s challenge, it will help if you ratchet up your power in the situation. Power plays include keeping calm and determining your own mood. If you refuse to be reactive, others will conform to your mood.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): When it comes to winning your affection, the people you don’t know have an unfair advantage. With the people who are familiar to you, inevitable and real problems crop up, while of course you’ll be blind to the negative qualities of people at a distance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Not everything has to be assessed. In fact, overanalyzing can be tedious, and if done publicly, doubly so. It can be much cooler to have an experience without talking about it. Luckily, the habit of judging can be turned off as easily as the flick of a light switch.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ideas can appear to be solid like mountains and continents when they are really more like changing weather. Ideas have an effect. But like a cloud crossing the sky, it’s an effect that passes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your feelings are not the enemy. Emotions are messages that connect you intimately to the adventure of being alive. You might feel that you’re not in control of your feelings, and you’re not, but you can certainly manage them.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Sometimes the strongest response is nothing at all. You’ve the option to ignore just about anything you want to today in your quest to focus exclusively on the good, right and wholesome aspects of life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you treat today’s social opportunity as if it were the first and only time people are going to get to hear what you have to say, you’ll likely deliver the message and overall impression you most want to get across.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Wanting things to be different seems like the start of making them better, but it isn’t necessarily so. Acceptance is more powerful than wanting. One recipe for quick change: Accept it; move it along a bit; repeat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A little surprise will wake you up, invigorate you and stimulate your curiosity. Too much surprise, however, creates anxiety and destabilization. You’ll be drawn to situations that are unpredictable, but only to a point.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Empathy and appreciation will go a long way toward helping you get comfortable and learn as much as you can about a new situation. When people sense that you feel and respect them, they’ll let you in.
