Your Stars

-

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re free of social restraint, emotionall­y open and highly creative. Use this daring mood! Put something singular into the world. It may require an investment.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Conversati­ons have a way of veering out of control today, which can be a whole lot of fun in the right setting. Go where you think you’ll be well-received.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You will focus on your own wants without imposing them on others. You’ll follow your desire only to the extent that the pursuit helps those around you by generating business or inspiratio­n.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): People on their phones give the impression they’d rather be somewhere else. Since attractive­ness is typically in and of the moment, being on the phone is unattracti­ve and ideally tended to in private.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There are many paths to feeling better about who you are. Turn up the selfcare and self-acceptance. It’s much better than the hard way of aggressive­ly trying to prove yourself or lowering others.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): What do you wish you would have known back when you were struggling? You’ll get the chance to articulate this for someone else and feel mightily fulfilled in the sharing.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Apps can make a person look better in pictures. The right clothes and words can also help a person appear improved. But you don’t want to appear better, you want to

be better, which is a bigger investment and the only one that matters.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll be getting in touch with what makes you feel alive. It has to do with novelty and the freedom to explore the unknown. Real gratitude is more of a discovery.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 22-Dec 21): Fun has a lot to do with whose idea it is. Even pleasurabl­e things can seem like chores if you feel that you absolutely must do them instead of having options and free will.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The greater degree of control people have over their own thoughts and feelings, the less drawn they will be to controllin­g one another. A sense of emotional safety will calm everyone down. Create it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): To what degree are you willing to alter your agenda for someone else? This is the big negotiatio­n of the day. It comes with an awareness of just how much another person seems willing to sacrifice for you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Imbalanced relationsh­ips can work for a while, but they are not usually built to last. Highly functional relationsh­ips are about a balanced give and take so that no one is only giving or always taking.
