Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19):

You’re an astute observer of other people’s relationships, which will lend insight into your own. You don’t need to discuss what you see, and in fact silent observances honor friendships better than too much sharing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Logic can only describe the world in terms of logic and cannot process the life that exists beyond logic, which so much of life does. You’ll come across scenarios that will only be understood after you’ve abandoned reason.

Gemini (May 21-June 21):

You just want to do, choose, feel and be according to your own wishes. You resist the limits and shackles of other people’s expectations, and to a great extent you will achieve moments of being wonderfully free.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):

People move through the world transmitting signals. Many are oblivious to the signals of others. Some can read them but mostly choose not to. You’re in the third category, reading all and responding in empathy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

The most popular isn’t always the best. Look at data beyond how many people like a thing. What can it really do? You’ll bring attention to the matters that help things work better, more smoothly and for the good of all.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Whether antique shopping or rooting around in family pictures, you’ll be touched by the very specific kind of pleasure that is nostalgia. As it goes with most pleasures, the romance of the past is best taken in moderation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

You’re wise. Don’t discredit your ideas just because people aren’t listening to them yet. Believe in yourself enough for 20people, and then double it and triple it. Your passion will catch on in time.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): A focused mind doesn’t give you
