Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): It’s a strange day in which enjoyment has little to do with success at the task. All the fun belongs to those who are willing to be bad at something. If you’re tonedeaf, sing! If you’re colorblind, paint! If you’re shy, orate! Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll learn who keeps his word and who doesn’t — knowledge that should help you navigate in the future. You only have time for those you can count on. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your intuitive methods will serve you well today. That doesn’t mean you won’t ask for guidance; it just means you’ll have a strong feeling about from whence the best advice will come. Cancer (June 22-July 22): You can give your story a positive spin and cover it in frosted sugar, too, but the people who know you will still want to hear the real deal. Help and honesty go hand in hand. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There are no guarantees today, but have a little faith anyway. The ones who will win under this sky are those who are able to tolerate uncertainty and even find a way to get comfortable inside it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Artists will be on fire with inspiration today — and everyone is an artist at something. Whatever you’re willing to practice will be a conduit for your passion. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’re looking at the kind of problem that can’t be solved by money or anything it can buy. You know what the real solution is. It’s love, of course. You’ve plenty of it to give. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Don’t worry if you’re running out of excitement for a project. It is possible to fly without a motor (then again, that’s really called gliding), and there’s no shame in it. Rest. You’ll feel different tomorrow. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Would you like a second chance at what you thought was a onetime deal? Such cosmic grace is indicated now. The day will bring a reversal of misfortune, miscommunication and other mischief. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have excellent instincts about people and can tell right away who’s going to be your close friend. For this reason, you may slow the social pace so you can enjoy getting to know others. What’s the rush? Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll see a change because you made a change. It has, in fact, brought you such satisfaction that you no longer feel the need to complain about anything.

Instead, you decide whether to make a change or not. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Discipline is your success secret. It is at the core of every win. Discipline happens through planning and through making your environment a place that’s conducive to creating your best life. Today’s birthday (Aug. 29): You have the clarity of mind and the courage to really listen to yourself — past the voices of influence you’ve lived with your whole life and into a small but mighty chamber of your heart that holds a purpose that until now has spoken only in whispers. You’ll hear it loud and follow. Your best life awaits. Aries and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 44, 38 and 2.
