Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You may find that the best thing you can do for a person is to back off and give plenty of room for that person to solve the problem independent of you. It will probably be harder than stepping in and fixing things, though. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Hope is an essential ingredient in any good plan. If you find that you can’t get behind the deal, that your attitude and heart just aren’t in the right place, figure out what you have to do to put hope into the equation. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re determined to finish the job, but it’s more than that. This ultra-focused state of mind borders on obsession. Remember to take breaks. It will help you maintain a healthy perspective. Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’re just trying to solve a problem. It’s not your fault that the fixing of it causes other problems. It’s because the issue is at a deeper level than you thought. Instead of treating symptoms, go to the root. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Though you can be social, a favorite friend, the consummate host and an excellent allaround entertainer, you can also be the world’s most content hermit. In fact, you’ll be that today for a time. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you know what’s appropriate and can fit into a situation easily by being that version of yourself, life feels comfortable. When that stops being the case, you’ll have a choice to make about whether or not it’s worth it to pretend. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You got to this place by answering a calling, following an inkling or obeying an intuition. But this is a crossroads in the journey in which research, logic and thoughtful argument will serve you very well. Take it to the committee. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You worry about loved ones just as, in the past, people have worried for you. You didn’t like being on the receiving end of it, and neither will they. Knowing when and what to keep to yourself will be key. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re in charge of your own story. Cast yourself as the hero, and find a way to play out the action that highlights your many capabilities and your determination to overcome adversity. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more responsibility you assume the more power you have. However, at some point, you have to ask how much power you really want. More is not always better. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Talk to someone you don’t know. The freshness of finding a communication rhythm with a stranger will bring its own kind of thrill. And it’s not every day you get to make a first impression. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may never jibe with some people as smoothly as you do your best friends. Yet don’t let this stop you from trying to connect. There are still many pleasant interactions to be had if you give them a chance.
