Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): Everything will get accomplished whether you hurry or not. If you doubt it, look to nature, which happens in its own time. The bee doesn’t complain that one flower hasn’t bloomed yet; it goes where the blossom is open. Taurus (April 20-May 20): When what you want turns out to be impractical, the answer is not to accept defeat but rather to think bigger, stranger and bolder. Jupiter will favor those crazy enough to pursue a dream. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Other worlds are projected in glorious golden light on the movie screen of the mind, though beware; foreign places that seem charged with the magic of possibility may provide less promise than what you have back home. Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ve been nice, sporting and polite. But now it’s time to really go for what you want. Be assertive so the less qualified can be respectfully eliminated from the game, free to pursue more fitting positions. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The truth isn’t yours to determine or discover today, so you don’t even have to worry about it. To serve the well-being of all, focus instead on what is helpful or useful and what isn’t. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Status quo may seem fine, but it won’t be next week. Start looking for ways to expand your horizons. Professional organizations, classes and online research are favored. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Once you put in the mirror time, dress appropriately and check in with your heart to make sure you’re coming from the right place, you’ll proceed without worrying what people think about you. That is why they like you so much. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Many care. Fewer turn this into an action. You are ultimately the one who will be nurtured by your nurturing efforts. Jump in and involve yourself where it seems you have much to contribute. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Among the treasure trove of insights by the great thinker Aristotle is the one in which he suggests that excellence is a habit. You know this instinctively, which is why you won’t let the little things slide today. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not so easily impressed, you’re extremely selective about whom you like and follow. It takes an exceptional individual to inspire you, and you’ll encounter such an influence today. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s safe to allow yourself to be seduced by the wonder of distances. Indeed, such an urge to explore has often been the savior of mankind. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The attitude you bring to what you do definitely changes your feelings about the work, but not only yours. It’s also a part of the experience of others, which will be well demonstrated this afternoon.

You should absolutely have a talk with your son about the text you received. Ask him if what the friend said is true, and if it is, why you didn’t hear it from him. Don’t be angry or accusatory. Just be sure to assure him how much you love him and that your feelings for him have not changed. He may need to hear you verbalize it.
