Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): Tinker around with the problem. Turn it and shake it and poke at it to see what it’s made of. This one doesn’t need such a delicate touch; rather, it needs to be called out, opened up and examined fully. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your tolerance of a person’s behavior is exactly the thing that keeps the dynamic alive. If you don’t want to tolerate it anymore, put your foot down and watch how quickly things turn around. Gemini (May 21-June 21): The one who knows more than you do on the subject will be mighty annoying indeed, especially if he or she seems to revel in this. It’s something to keep in mind next time the positions are reversed. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Don’t expect magic. Embrace a workmanlike aesthetic. Keep putting in the hours and cranking out the product. While you’re extremely busy with this, magic just may alight on you. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Stories have the power to change the world, so of course they have the power to change your afternoon. Give some thought to the way you’re going to tell people about your life, because it will matter now quite a lot more than you think. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If only people could just be very honestly themselves around you, you could all relax. Unfortunately, some are still afraid of your judgment. With more gentle encouragement you’ll turn it around. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It’s not rocket science, just simple math. Play the game twice and you’ll double your chances of winning. Keep playing it and you’re bound to hit a jackpot sooner or later. The game in question now is love. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’re like the seeker in the game. It’s not your problem if the others haven’t done their job. You agreed on a certain amount of time and now, ready or not, here you come. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Once you get your backup plan in place, you may find that you love it even more than the frontline plan. Because you’re so prepared for anything to happen you’ll go forward the confidence that attracts only the best. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This day will require more than the usual amount of pleasure and leisure. Instead of taking moments for relaxation, make relaxation your prevalent attitude. You’ll actually be more productive this way. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This thing about getting through it all by the skin of your teeth — is it getting old yet? If you had a better plan and more preparation you wouldn’t have to be in constant reaction mode. Make that happen! Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Friendship is about more than discovering the other person. It’s about discovering yourself through the interactions. The closer you get to a lovely someone, the better you’ll know yourself. DEAR F.F. >> Your husband may actually have a good reason for doing it. If you are with him when he parks the car, you will automatically know where to find him when you come out of the store.
