YOUR HOROSCOPE

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are all too familiar with overextending your energy and you could fall into this same alluring trap today unless you proceed with caution. Thankfully, avoiding trouble is not difficult now if you scale back your plans and promises before you are in over your head. Unfortunately, it’s much trickier to find your way back to a manageable position if you wait until you run out of time or energy. Incorporating realistic thinking right from the start keeps you ahead of the curve throughout the day.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can talk a big game today, but executing your plan isn’t as straightforward as you wish. It’s tempting to skip over important details, but they will probably come back to haunt you before you fulfill your commitments. Recognizing that everything seems better than it actually is now could be enough to prevent problems from developing later in the day. Taking time to analyze the situation before jumping in allows you to put an amazing opportunity into a healthier perspective. A self-administered reality check is your friend.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s not wise to shoot the messenger, especially if she is bearing good news. But the planets may stir up trouble if you automatically believe everything you hear. Unfortunately, your current lack of discernment encourages others to stretch the truth even more. Thankfully, you can save yourself from a headache by verifying the facts as you hear them. But don’t be so negative that you shut off the flow of incoming information. Balancing your skepticism with an open mind leaves an opportunity for your friends to surprise you with a bit of unexpected fun.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may have your share of problems today, they appear to be quite manageable upon closer analysis. Your current willingness to take a risk increases your options, but having more alternatives doesn’t necessarily mean that any of them will be the correct one. Standing up to defend your point of view right away enables you to avoid serious conflict before it grows out of hand. People will admire you even more if you honor your integrity right from the start.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Be certain that you’re motivated by good intentions when involving people in your personal drama today, rather than just seeking extra attention. Your current crisis needs to be handled and, thankfully, someone may ask the right questions that can help you focus your thoughts. Your intuition will steer you in the right direction now, but you still must bring your brilliant ideas down to earth. Ironically, a practical plan helps you capture the magic of this inspiring moment.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your current business acumen is admirable, but your analytical superpowers could have a detrimental influence if you think you can justify anything you want to do. Your brain is smoking hot today, yet your brilliant thoughts may lure you down a slippery slope of inflated importance. Rather than wasting time trying to rationalize your choices, pay attention to the feedback you receive and adjust your course of action as necessary. Acting on the sage advice of others paves the road to your success.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You prefer to keep the peace but you might feel called to speak up anyhow and give someone a piece of your mind today. Just be careful of where you step because you’re about to get swept up in a whirlwind of fast-moving energy that sucks you into a jet stream and quickly carries you far away from home. Happily, you can talk your way into or out of almost anything now. Relying on your diplomatic charm works in your favor when you need it most.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Spending a lot of money just to impress someone you admire won’t be as appreciated as you wish. The fact of the matter is you can’t accurately express your emotions by buying anything material. Instead of placing yourself in a precarious position by ignoring your budget and purchasing a token of your affection, just state your feelings as directly as possible. Your message is more powerful today if you simply speak from your heart. A gift of your love is a priceless treasure.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re like a worker bee high on pollen in a field of spring wildflowers. Every individual thought that crosses your mind seems to be the best one ever and leads to yet another one. The supply of ideas appears endless as the radiant Sun aligns with bountiful Jupiter to increase your confidence. However, others might not agree with your optimistic assessment; they think that your Pollyanna approach is foolish. Waiting a day or two prior to making any final decisions helps you pick the best flower and cultivate it into a successful plan of action.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

An overdose of blind trust turns you practical goats into gullible sheep today. However, once led astray an unexpected event might require you to put your perspective back in balance. You can maintain a spiritual point of view based on the belief that everything is exactly as it should be at this time. But don’t use this line of logic to justify your willingness to be a follower. Reclaim your power by setting a goal and working toward it, even if you don’t see any appreciable progress right away. Live for the journey, not the destination.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could easily lose focus on your responsibilities today because it’s more fun to imagine your future than to deal with reality. Unfortunately, acting like a hopeless romantic shifts your thoughts away from the tasks at hand. Imagining the possibilities of what may come to pass is often a useful endeavor; however, it can also get in the way of the work that’s right in front of you. The real challenge now isn’t about achieving your long-term goals; it’s to remain present in the present moment.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if you have another chance to grab the prize, yet your time is running out. However, the sense of urgency you are experiencing today is likely based on a faulty assumption. Although your current actions seem to wield greater influence now, pushing too hard stirs up more resistance than it’s worth. Paradoxically, temporarily flying in a holding pattern might actually enable you to reach your destination sooner than if you continue to pursue your goals with all your heart.
