The Mercury (Pottstown, PA)

Horoscopes

-

Aries (March 21-April 19): Figuring out your priorities will be fun, easy and worthy work. The clearer you get about your values, the higher the quality of your thoughts will be. Your mind will organize itself to rally around what you deem important.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Negative thought loops are caused by too much introspect­ion, rumination and selfinvolv­ement. The remedy is simple. Tune into other people’s needs and see what you can do. Suddenly, you’re 10 times happier.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): There are small words that fly on mighty wings. Love is in that mix. So is the admission of humility that comes in the simple series, “I don’t know.” That one can open worlds.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Maybe your work is self-explanator­y, but the truth is that people still need help understand­ing. Tell, show them, and then teach it again in a different way. Do what it takes to hook them. Then, hop on the success train.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): On the highway of life, you have to be willing to change lanes, slow down and leave via the exit once in a while. Sure, there’s life in the race, but it really pales when compared with life beyond those exits.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you look around, you’ll either observe a powerful beauty or feel a beautiful power. You’ll commit wholly to the moment, seeking to understand and be a part of this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today’s mystic image is the tarot card “strength,” in which a woman tames a lion using only tenderness. An infinity halo hovers, a reminder that fortitude is a crown from the eternal realms. You couldn’t shake it if you tried.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): While there’s no real glee in having to scrape together resources, there’s something oddly satisfying about this excuse to call on people and find out the extent of generosity in their nature.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will allow yourself to dissolve into the contemplat­ion of creating. The workaday world evaporates as you’re snatched out of the constant flux and thrust into the world of ideas.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Though you do everything to aim your being toward joy, you’ll relate to the Romantic poet William Wordsworth when he wrote of “that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts bring sad thoughts to the mind.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s an irreversib­le friction between a feeling and its opposite. Knowing what the opposite actually is will be a helpful processing tool, i.e.: admiration and loathing, fear and anger, anticipati­on and surprise, etc.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Because things are more beautiful when they are true, you’ll think twice about certain socalled improvemen­ts, especially if they are costly and aimed toward meeting some sort of societal ideal.
