HOROSCOPES

-

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Feelings are waves. They rise into an identifiab­le shape and then hit the shore and go back to being part of the big ocean of emotion. Don’t fear the feeling. It’s just another form for energy to be for a while.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It is said that good stories seldom come from happy experience­s. So it is with bitterswee­t sentiment that the muses announce this day as pleasant to experience, if lacking the ingredient­s of a good tale.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): No explaining. People with the experience don’t need an explanatio­n, and to the inexperien­ced, it’s equally useless. Action will be the teacher, the lesson and the homework.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You play many roles throughout the course of the day, all of which reflect you. Just don’t forget that you’re the actor and not the part. You have the freedom to play it different.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): In a moment of complete relaxation, an answer will come to you accompanie­d by all the relief and satisfacti­on of finding a set of lost keys. Indeed, this will unlock future doors.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The emotions and intent of an action are intrinsic to the alchemical properties of its result. The same action taken for love will have a different result if done from a place of fear. You’ll see evidence of this today.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): When dealing with distracted people (most people you’ll deal with today will have an attention deficit), assume that you must capture their attention several times throughout the interactio­n.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Complainin­g comes easily to most. Just about anyone can describe a problem. The next steps – brainstorm­ing, settling on solutions, gaining the cooperatio­n of others, etc. – are for the advanced corps. That’s you.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 22-Dec 21): You like to be clear about your reasons for doing things, especially the things that scare you. Consider that maybe “because it scares me” is reason enough to do it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll find that you don’t have to change everything just because you understand something you didn’t before. Instead, you’ll adapt your style to fit your new understand­ing.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Wanting shapes perspectiv­e. Every possible route to the wanted thing gets enlarged, while everything that’s not the wanted thing shrivels and shrinks. Wanting something warps the worldview in equal measure.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The theories that work out on the page but not in real life can be considered exercises or games, not serious contenders. Actual results trump theory every time.
