HOROSCOPE

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might believe that you are going out of your way to be nice to others, but their view of your behavior could be quite different. No matter how honorable your intentions are now, your brusque manner can make you appear uncaring or even offensive. But what you say is likely less important than how you say it. Rather than shocking someone with your sudden declaration, build up to it with a conversation based on give and take. A little diplomacy is all you need to create harmony in your world.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although people may be dependent on your job performance today, it’s still crucial to balance work with play. The pleasure-seeking Libra Moon brightens your 6th House of Self-Improvement, reminding you that moderation is essential -- not only to your growth, but also to your physical well-being. Instead of trying to power your way through your responsibilities like a Bull, taking regular breaks is revitalizing and enables you to be more productive in the long run. Don’t rush anything; when the time is right, magic will happen.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are thinking of all the ways -- realistic or not -- you could escape from work today. There are so many things that excite your imagination now. Nevertheless, it’s unlikely that you can avoid your mundane obligations, so you might as well start your chores early in the day. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to concentrate on the tasks at hand for too long, since every flight of fancy seems like an intriguing distraction. Gently bring your focus back to your assignment as often as necessary until your responsibilities are fulfilled.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

An unexpected change of plans could send you into a temporary tailspin, making it tricky to regain your composure. But your response to the pressures of the day is admirable, even as the Moon encourages you to reconnect with your past. Oddly enough, stirring up your old fears doesn’t necessarily mean you must take any specific actions yet. Just continue to rebuild the present moment on the foundation of old experiences. Your future depends on what you do today.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re inspired to share your love, but you might not get very far on your path to fulfillment today. People may be emotionally shut down for one reason or another, unable or unwilling to accept your gift of affection. Additionally, you aren’t willing to change your attitude for the sake of winning someone’s favor. Nevertheless, you can still take the high road and shine your light as brightly as possible. Instead of waiting for others to meet you halfway, express the magic of your heart without any expectations. As Nathanial Hawthorne wrote, “Generosity is the flower of justice.”

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may need to risk more than you prefer in order to let others know exactly where you stand. Unfortunately, you face the possibility of rejection or even ridicule if you put your feelings out into the open. But something amazing is about to happen, even if it takes a while to realize the significance of the moment. You are in your element now and people are listening to every word you say. Choose your message carefully for the window of opportunity is already starting to close.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although your friends and coworkers can see through your veneer, they still might not realize the passionate emotions you’re holding quietly behind your personal version of the Great Wall. On the other hand, the gracious Libra Moon enables you to show your feelings within the bounds of social etiquette. Honoring the customs from another time or culture expands your horizons, enabling you to perceive your environment from a wider perspective. What others think is none of your business at this time, but what you think makes all the difference in the world.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) You’re driven to make the most out of the social media buzz today, but finding the time can be a bit of a struggle. Your intention is to be more connected with like-minded people while messenger Mercury claims the spotlight in your 11th House of Networking. However, you like your anonymity and aren’t eager to take a more public stance now. Push through your fear of exposure because you can’t have it both ways. The satisfaction of accomplishment will outweigh your concerns once you finally decide to take your rightful place in the community.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Rediscovering your life purpose takes precedence today, whether it’s more of the same or an entirely different ballgame. In either case, your legendary visionary outlook inspires others to tell you their dreams. The good news is you have a clear sense of who you are, a viable plan in place and feel as if nothing can stand in your way now. Just remember to take it slowly or you will expend so much energy that you won’t have any later on when you need it for a second wind. As President Theodore Roosevelt wrote, “With self-discipline, most anything is possible.”

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Although you are working with a clear agenda for getting further on your journey up the mountain, you begin to realize that you might have bitten off more than you can chew. Instead of exhausting yourself as you strive toward the summit, be wise and scale back your plans before circumstances do it for you. If you grow discouraged because you haven’t reached your goal yet, remember that it’s not too late to reevaluate your progress and adjust your course as needed.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18) You can’t take your mind off the wonderful possibilities that lay ahead. But neither can you pick one single path because there are so many things you want to accomplish now that the ambivalent Libra Moon is visiting your 9th House of Future Vision. Nevertheless, you are just as concerned about uncovering the meaning of life, which may be counterproductive to producing anything in the real world. Balancing the spiritual with the material gives you reason to refocus on your work. Ultimately, it’s your dogged persistence that will turn a potential failure into an extraordinary achievement.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

All is well in your world if your relationships are in order. But if unspoken feelings hang thick in the air, you won’t be able to concentrate on your work. Everyone will know that something is out of balance and it’s up to you to rectify the situation. Thankfully, awareness is the first step on the road back to health and harmony. Use your current connection with the fair-minded Libra Moon to help you weigh your various options and choose the best one.
