- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES

All frustratio­n is a function of unrealisti­c expectatio­n. In fact, frustratio­n is a good way to learn what’s realistic and what’s not. Change the expectatio­n until the frustratio­n evaporates.

TAURUS

Your skills may seem arbitrary, but you acquired each one for a very specific purpose that made sense at the time. Now you’ll find a new way to apply what you know how to do.

GEMINI

Your emotional health and personal growth will be served by two little words and one punctuatio­n mark. Give yourself some space and silence and then try this one on for size: “What if?”

CANCER

While there are many purposeful connection­s to be made through social networking, you’d like to find the line between wasting time and getting things done through social media.

LEO

You can’t expect the euphoria of an idea to carry through each one of the countless small actions that need to happen to bring it into reality. Tedium is part of the creative process. It’s worthwhile to persist!

VIRGO

If you think your work doesn’t matter to anyone outside of your little corner of the world, you’re wrong. You’ll be surprised and pleased by the reaction you get from outsiders.

LIBRA

In order to finally find out what’s possible for you in a certain endeavour, you’ll need to cut out the thing that’s distractin­g you and taking you away from it. Make the commitment, you’ll be changed by it.

SCORPIO

You’re always on the prowl for new ways of thinking of things and doing things, and you’ll like what you discover today. Suspend a bit of skepticism, though, for long enough to try something out.

SAGITTARIU­S

Just as it makes no sense to be overly serious about the quest for joy, when the goal is fun, it makes no sense to be hard on yourself along the way.

CAPRICORN

When someone sees your ‘specialnes­s’, it’s meaningful. And when someone treats you like you’re not special, it’s totally fine – but maybe that person doesn’t belong in your inner circle.

AQUARIUS

There are some things that are manageable chiefly because you know they will come to an end. When it’s not clear when that end will be, they become scary. Use this principle to set someone at ease.

PISCES

Because of the day’s events and how you handle them, when your head hits the pillow tonight you will have the sense that you have come to a deeper understand­ing of the world and your place in it.
