Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19):

The pride that disallows you to do things that would weaken you is different from pride that has to inflate itself — a puffed up version of low self-esteem. Recognize the difference and you’ll know who to trust.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You’re in for one of your favorite happenings — when you feel called to go somewhere or do a thing that’s a little out of character for you, and wind up meeting a new person. It feels like destiny, and it is.

Gemini (May 21-June 21):

No one is happy all of the time. And without the contrast of unhappy moments in the past you wouldn’t be able to capture some of the subtle shades of happiness that visit you today.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):

The best answer might not be the final one. Make sure to follow the chain of command because the right protocol will make or break a deal. Certain egos must be satisfied in order to move forward.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

As it goes with the human chain, and chains in general, much depends on position. You can be swung by the links that come before and after you. When this happens, there’s nothing to do but to go with it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Your emotional dial has lost all capacity for mild settings. So you won’t just like or dislike a thing; you’ll love or oppose it, immerse yourself in it or ignore it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
