Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your senses are alive with anticipation as you imagine sweet pleasures, whether or not you can actually pursue them in the real world. Youll take nearly any chance you can get to break away from your regular routine today, even if your actions are ill-advised. Hopefully, you understand that wishing with all your might doesnt mean your dreams will come true. Oddly enough, sometimes the fantasy is better than the reality. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone may be tugging on your heart strings or your purse strings today, and youre not sure whether you like it or not. Naturally, youre flattered when a person is attracted to you, but its challenging to read other peoples motives. You are intrigued by a possible connection with an individual you admire, but your intuition is waving red flags now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You prefer to keep your current interactions on a casual basis, but someones presence could set off a warning bell today. An inner voice advises you to run while you still have a chance, but you want to pursue a conversation with this person of interest. Theres no reason to close your heart out of fear, unless you create a whole palette of unrealistic expectations that can only lead to disillusionment. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your desires are sending signals in several directions, attracting people and circumstances outside of your normal lifestyle. However, youre uncomfortable sharing your personal business too quickly because youre naturally overprotective when disclosure triggers your emotions. Nevertheless, dont allow your feelings to go dormant now; keep your passions alive by feeding your dreams with your awareness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Although you might face unforeseen setbacks now, youre not one to prematurely throw in the towel. In fact, the gulf between your home world and your dream world continues to grow, adding to your current emotional sensitivity.You know that the road ahead is not an easy one, and you secretly hope youre not setting yourself up for a fall. The good news is your resiliency is strong, empowering you to bounce back up on your feet again. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You strive to remain positive-minded in spite of the less-thanawesome news you receive today. However, it gets tougher by the minute to keep your shock and discouragement beneath the radar. Of course, you can easily divide your tasks so you catch up on business, leaving personal matters for later in the week. But putting your feelings out in the open is more difficult, if not a more rewarding approach to relationships. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ironically, you may be drawn to the very same people that were too unconventional for your tastes only a few weeks ago. However, your personal aesthetics have not changed as much as you think; its just that your spectrum is widening and youre more comfortable with stepping beyond your old limits. Nevertheless, your exhilaration is shortlived. Once the newness wears off, you might be left with a familiar feeling of disappointment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone might get the wrong idea from you today. Although the Moons presence in your sign provokes frequent mood swings, this doesnt mean your emotions are any shallower now. In fact, your intensity could come as a surprise to an admirer who was expecting fun and games, without the gravity of a heart-centered attachment. But you wouldnt be authentic if you took the easy way out. Vincent van Gogh wrote, I would rather die of passion than of boredom. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Romance is in the air, but an opportunity to pursue an unusual relationship could disappear before you know it. Your infatuation may extend into online interactions, yet its challenging to distinguish social media connections from real life ones. Nevertheless, dont be dissuaded now because someone seems so different from you. You might be delighted by how much you can have in common with another openminded person if you give each other a chance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You could be stuck in a drama that pits your regular need for stability with your transient desire for a memorable thrill. Normally, these two points are mutually exclusive and wouldnt exist in the same story line. But now you must create a plot that engages both traditional methods and futuristic individuality. Taking the high road gives you a birds eye view to keep everything in balance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You possess a rare ability to maintain an intense connection with a friend or lover while also fostering emotional detachment. In fact, you might choose to keep a longlasting relationship free of drama by relying on fair-minded thinking rather than subjective emotions. But dont assume for a moment that this kind of connection is qualitatively any less significant than a traditional one. There are many approaches to swimming with others in the spiritual waters of the soul. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): You wish you could stick with your tried-and-true formula today, but many of your interpersonal interactions quickly sour when you add your opinions to the mix. Although emotions are a key ingredient in an intimate relationship, they also introduce ambiguity into the equation. Building protective walls is not a viable strategy now; it may keep some pain at bay, but boundaries also stifle love and affection. Bob Marley said, Being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure.
