Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your friends come to your support today, if only to encourage you to reach for your dreams. However, youre not as sure about the chances for your success as they are. You cant trust their judgment because it seems as if they are placing you up on a pedestal now. You dont want to be revered but you appreciate recognition from like-minded people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Although you wish you could forget about work for a while, its challenging to set aside your professional worries, especially if others depend on you. Nevertheless, you really need some downtime with close friends or relatives to recharge your batteries today. Ultimately, the decision is yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your thoughts are wandering far and wide today, but you dont necessarily want to leave the neighborhood. You like the idea of hanging out with friends, but your restlessness returns once you finally get together. Balancing your current need for familiarity with your irrepressible penchant for adventure might seem like an impossible task now. Fortunately, you are clever enough to pull the winning card right out of thin air and invent a plan that satisfies both sides of your personality. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are eager to explore the emotional mysteries that create fireworks in a relationship. Youre not interested in clever ideas and intricate theories; you want the juicy stuff that rattles your cage and heats up the red blood cells running through your veins. Unfortunately, there are no maps that point the way to the secrets of interpersonal chemistry. You must look for it on your own and be able to recognize it once you see it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Reading other peoples intentions is trickier than you realize now, especially if their words are saying yes while their actions are saying no.

In fact, your ideal plans for the day could be centered around quiet time at home. But this isnt about finishing incomplete chores or taking a long nap. Instead, you seek mental stimulation from exploring a new hobby or pursuing an intriguing subject of interest. You will feel young at heart as long as you continue to be guided by a child-like curiosity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You intend to shake up your schedule today because youre tired of doing things the same old way. However, you may want to think your exciting plan through one more time because events wont likely unfold according to your expectations. Your need to create new routines is admirable, but its not worth it if your life is complicated beyond recognition. Nevertheless, stagnation isnt an option. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Balancing your need for relationship stability and your desire for individual freedom is a complicated dance today. Its not that you have a secret agenda that requires being alone; its just that you dont want to be constrained by other peoples expectations.

Luckily, its one of those magical days when you can have your cake and eat it, too.
