HOROSCOPE

FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

You might be wondering if you really must go through another rerun of a recent emotional experience. The simple answer is yes, especially if you havent fully acknowledged the influence of the past on the present. There's no reason to resist this detour down Memory Lane today. Let go of your fear about arriving at your destination late. It's more important to follow your feelings now, wherever they take you. Actor John Barrymore said, Happiness often sneaks in through a door you did not know was open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

You aren't very clear about your long-term goals now, even if youre already committed to a specific trajectory. Although you may be questioning your wisdom, its more likely your dreams are so strong that youre lost in their splendor. Don't set yourself up for frustration by attempting to define your life within a narrow field on the spectrum of experience. Give yourself permission to think with a panoramic filter. Oscar Wilde wrote, Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Ironically, fuzzy thinking inspires you to set higher goals to motivate your ambitions. Nevertheless, imagining your success in the vaguest possible terms should not be confused with having a practical plan to reach a specific destination. You might need to wait a couple more days before your path clears and the urge to take action returns. Irish statesman Edmund Burke wrote, Our patience will achieve more than our force.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

You have your heart set on making a dream come true, but the magic of manifestation can be elusive. Unfortunately, there's no simple recipe to follow when every situation is vastly different. However, practicing some form of meditation is always helpful because it calms your mind and enables you to prioritize the steps you need to take on your way to success. Rather than talking about whatever pops into your head, bring only the most relevant issues into your conversations now. Mildred Barthel wrote, Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

You're eager to share your ideas for a new adventure with a cohort, but secretly you wonder if you're just distracting yourself from something more important. Although you are drawn toward making plans for fun activities, you know theres more to life than what appears on the outside. Instead of putting another event on your calendar today, explore your unspoken need to create a deeper emotional connection with someone you respect. Author Khalil Gibran wrote, Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your interactions with others bring you face to face with your own feelings today. However, it's all too easy to shift the focus onto another person by thinking they are being too emotional. Instead of assuming that someone else is being inappropriately needy, examine your current discomfort about stepping away from objective logic and toward subjective opinions. Responding honestly to peoples vulnerable disclosures requires courage on your part but is well worth the risk. Every relationship is another mirror to your soul.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You're uncertain where to start today, but you know that you don't have the luxury of wasting time. Nevertheless, there are still several unknowns and you can't finalize your calendar until you receive more information from others. Rather than working yourself into a state of frustration now, follow your common sense and jump in wherever you can. Filling in the open spaces on your schedule with the most pressing tasks enables you to be as efficient as possible in the present moment. Success depends on knowing your priorities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Carve out some time to explore your creativity today, no matter how busy you are with prior commitments. It's as if you possess a direct link to access your imagination now, and it would be a shame to waste this opportunity. However, there's no need to be production-minded while you utilize your visionary gift. It's not about making observable progress; it's about being inspired on your artistic journey. Dieter Uchtdorf wrote, The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Your innate desire to wander the outer reaches of the cosmos shifts gears today as you look inward toward your soul. You're less interested now in jumping on a plane for an adventure than finding a quiet space that allows you to sit still and reflect on the meaning of life. Others may not see this contemplative side of you and wonder why youre not as outgoing now. Don't waste energy on trying to correct anyone elses observations. Just follow your instincts and seek your satisfaction by exploring the mysteries of your own mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You are more secure when there's a concrete agenda to follow, but theres something very liberating about working without a plan now. Oddly enough, you may end up being more productive today than you thought possible. Being tied to a schedule has it's purpose but might prevent you from reacting effectively in the moment. Actor Ryan Hansen wrote, Being spontaneous at times is a must. Being spontaneous all the time is a crazy person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You may experience a wave of confusion today, but it's just a gentle reminder that intellectually knowing the truth isnt enough. It's been said that too many facts can lead you to making a wrong decision. Your current hesitation is a gift. Questioning your direction could be the catalyst that opens new doors to your future. Just be sure to come back to reality when your uncertainty has taken you sufficiently far. Goethe wrote, Doubt can only be removed by action.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20):

You are soaring on the wings of your imagination today, but you must be careful not to fly too high. You could become so enamored with the magic and beauty of your fantasies that you don't want to bother with the real world. Unfortunately, this strategy only works for short amounts of time, since the practical considerations of life are always pressing. Trusting your intuition now is only the first step on the road to success. Colin Powell wrote, A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
