Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You have been searching tirelessly and faithfully for the signs that romance is real, love is magic and fate is holding a gift with your name on the tag. You’ll have far more luck when you stop searching and just assume it’s so. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Is the work worthy of you? If it feels at times like a crushing chore then the answer is probably yes. This is the intensity you were born for. You will leave this work fortified, refined and feeling privileged. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll be reminded that you are in a reciprocal relationship with your surroundings. As the results of your past efforts come around, you’ll make adjustments in hopes that future results will please and serve you better. Cancer (June 22-July 22): The seemingly inconsequential responsibilities are detrimental en masse. You’d be wise to get into “handle it” mode and work whatever small details are in front of you for a few hours before you tackle the larger problems. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In all interactions, look for the person behind the role; speak to the human, not the uniform. This is necessary in dealing with yourself, too. You have needs beyond what your role can fulfill. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is quite a lot on the schedule today that might be considered depleting work. Treat it like a meditation. Your attitude of mindfulness could turn these mundane tasks into your favorite moments of the day. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When your mind is set on achieving and the expectation isn’t met, you’re more likely to get frustrated and give up. Set your mind on learning instead. You’ll stay open and flexible while stacking the odds in your favor. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There’s a certain type of jealousy — a snap of irritation followed by a flash of intense dislike — that tells you exactly what you need to change in yourself. Act on this. Follow the impulse. Crystallize your plan. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Just because a thought shows up in your brain doesn’t mean you have to act on it in any way. Today’s mental intrusions are like Internet pop-up ads and can be removed just as easily. Click on the little X and move on. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sure, you want the same happiness that everyone does, but the way that looks to you is different in specific ways. To inspire yourself, delve into your particular view of heaven on earth. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): By actively trying to stop negativity, you’re making the issue important. Make it unimportant instead; ignore it. It just might drift by you like a dark cloud, moving on to rain somewhere else. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The schedule is subject to change. The one who “messes it up” could also be considered the angel of the day, though perhaps much later, when you’re looking back at this day in the long-view.
