Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You can’t control how many times people acknowledge and accept you, but you certainly can control how many times you smile and acknowledge other people. That will tip the balance. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sometimes it seems you need to speak your thoughts to know what you are thinking. This is one of those days. It will help you to be around that friend who actually listens, too. Gemini (May 21-June 21): To air things out is a very literal thing for you today. What’s unwanted can be carried away by the wind. Today you’ll change the energy of a relationship by conversing in the open air of the outdoors. Cancer (June 22-July 22): This problem that keeps coming up is not so much big or unsurmountable as it is persistent. Like a gnat, it can be handled with an accurate swat — in this case, with the application of a specific tactic. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The absurd trivialities of life will annoy you if you let them. One way to avoid the harassment is to find something much bigger and so immersive that your perspective disallows petty provocations. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s rare that a person intrigues and relaxes you at the same time, and you might be fascinated to know that you have the same effect, which makes for a rather irresistible attraction. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What was once a vast and wondrous experience is now reduced to a segment of information in your mind. You condensed it to “good” or “bad” so it would fit neatly. Now it’s time to unpack that bag and see what’s really in there. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Exploration happens best by accident. Way leads to way as you wander, trusting that something of enduring value is out there for you to find. There’s no map, only a faithful sense that you’re getting closer. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It will be a small gesture that gets you through the obstacle and into the place you want to be. As philanthropist W. Clement Stone suggested, “big doors swing on little hinges.” Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You won’t have to look long for beauty. The ordinary, everyday landscape will reward you and every other traveler looking up. Unfortunately, many will be too mesmerized by their glowing screens to raise their heads. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll only be able to see what’s available to you through unwanting eyes. As soon as you want something from the situation, your vision becomes limited. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When you come to the impasse (and you will in some minor way at least three times today), turn and walk in the direction of fresh air. The bright idea you need will be riding a zephyr. Let it hit you in the face.
