Horoscopes

-

Aries (March 21-April 19): A completely peaceful and quietly powerful frame of mind will allow you to control what you can and ignore the rest. It’s a brief and fleeting state for sure, but take these kinds of lucky breaks as they come. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You envy people who have the luxury of being able to follow their whims. It takes free time, after all, and disposable income. You could make more of both of those things if only you had, well, the luxury to follow your whims. Today brings a lucky break. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Be proactive as you look ahead to the weeks to come. Block out large chunks of time that you can dedicate to what you want to do. If you don’t do this now, your time will be

quickly booked up with what you’re only mildly into.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The scientists suggest that the secret to science is asking the right question. Of course, this is the secret to everything else as well. Start with what’s relevant, and expand to the question that covers more than that. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The situation seems a little boring, but there’s something very important happening here, and if you don’t tune in you’ll miss it and waste time going back to pick up what you missed. So tune in. Awareness now will prevent problems later. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fear, when channeled well, is better than coffee at keeping you alert and focused. Fear will elasticize time for you. You’ll experience the power

of nanosecond­s! Your performanc­e will be better for it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Coming up with a good plan means recognizin­g a bad one. You may blow through hours making plots that fill the wastebaske­t but it’s nothing compared to what you’d waste following a bad plan. Back to the drawing board. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s not foresight or hindsight but insight that will serve you the best. Examine your reactions to experience — how you’re interpreti­ng this and what meaning you’re assigning to it. Insight is the easiest kind to change. Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

This is an ideal time to clear the air and balance unbalanced relationsh­ips. Listen to what’s said: That’s a no-brainer, though it’s even more important to understand what’s not being said.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): People often believe what their friends tell them over what the expert might say. Ultimately though, people believe what they tell themselves. The truth will matter less to people than the source. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Irresistib­le things are not rational things. They tug at a part of the mind and spirit where logic’s never stepped — a place of magic and memories and happenings that defy the rules of economics and commerce. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

There will be selfish attention-stealers out there — marketers, companies and people who want your focus but will not repay you for it in any meaningful way. Stay self-directed.
