Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll sharpen your disputing skills, speak up and counter the positions you don’t agree with. Your primary opposition will be a voice in your head that needs to be set straight. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Tension of any kind is an impediment to creativity, productivity and social ease. Avoid it, diffuse it, or flee it entirely. It may be easiest to wish everyone well and start new in a fresh environment. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You typically think of cleaning and reorganizing as a means to an end, but actually it’s an involving, interesting and even enjoyable process in and of itself today. Simple, inexpensive improvements bring joy. Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll make a change gradually, as moderation fits your personality. An approach that’s too strict only inspires you to rebel against your own authority. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The Japanese proverb says, “Fall seven times; get up eight.” But no one will keep you from lying there for a moment of recovery to ponder and process what just happened.

This time, give yourself more breathing room. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your good manners attract luck.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll make tough demands of yourself, but as long as they are in line with what you enjoy you’ll be successful. On the other hand, you have zero tolerance for tedium, so don’t even put those tasks on the schedule. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It will be easier for you to influence people you have an affinity for. It’s as though people can sense your true feelings. Find something to love about those you need to sway.
