Horoscopes
Aries (March 21-April 19): Are you going to do what you said you would do? That’s all they care about today. Hopefully, you underestimated what you would do, and the delivery will be over your promise. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You might be very bored with what’s going on today, and that’s really just a challenge to look a little deeper. There’s always a pretty thing to be admired, a problem to be solved. There’s always a day to be made. Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you don’t exactly know how to manage what’s going on down low, look up high. Is there a higher thought that resonates with you? A guide, a cloud formation, a sky that speaks to you? Cancer (June 22-July 22): Small thinkers will go disguised as “reasonable” people. They may tell you about limits that are true for them, but that does not mean that the same rules apply to you. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The market is calling you. You’ve something to sell, and they definitely want it. How will you position this? Knowable, likeable, trustable: You’re all these things. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Something you set up one way will end up another. There is nothing reasonable you can do about this. Settle in. That is just another way of saying, “Chill.” It’s going to work when you calm down. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): “With liberty and justice for all”: Well, that’s a big statement with a big meaning. Your sign of balance and fairness, you really get that, live it and mean it. What are you going to do about it today? Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your plans are solid, meaning that nothing has been left to chance — but chance doesn’t like that at all. This is the time she will rebel, elbowing her way into the equation. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The dynamic between two people is compelling. Fake or real — it depends a lot on the medium. Of the ones you observe now, you’re wise to be a little skeptical. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is safety in being shy. If you feel like hiding, it’s a signal that you will benefit by doing the opposite. Take one step forward. Put yourself out there, even if it feels foolish. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You sought a position in the middle because you thought it would be logical and easier, but it wasn’t. There is no middle. It’s always the start of something or the end of something. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Life is an experiment. No one ever really knows how a choice will turn out; they just get adept at playing their odds. And the only way to do that is by building experiences — choosing and then choosing again.
