Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stepping into the middle of a disagreement seems like the right thing to do today, especially if you could help reestablish harmony. Your diplomatic inclinations lead you to believe that your words can smooth over ruffled feathers and put others at ease. However, you might just as easily misread the entire situation and make matters worse. Avoid the tendency to charge ahead with your unilateral plan without considering the needs of all involved. Surprise others with your kindness and grace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Balancing your personal goals at work with those of the group may be more challenging than you expect. You could get off to a bad start today if you jump to an inaccurate conclusion based upon your past experiences rather than the current situation. In fact, projecting your fears onto everyone else is not a helpful strategy. Instead, ask questions and listen carefully to the spaces in between the words. Practicing compassion by opening your heart and your mind is a surefire way to set you back on a productive course. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are acutely aware of how your words can alter the overall mood of people around you. You are extra mindful of everyone elses feelings now and want to be a force for positive change. However, too much thinking turns a simple plan into a logistical nightmare. Oftentimes you need to slow down and reconsider your message before saying something you later regret. Today, its more important to express yourself before the moment passes you by. Authenticity matters. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You want to speak your mind but are afraid of stepping too far out of line today. You believe that others expect you to be supportive of their efforts even if youre not totally on board with their plans.

Ultimately, you wont regret your actions now if you let your integrity do the talking. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Asking lots of questions is one method of obtaining missing information, but you might actually know more than you realize now.

Instead of overreacting by digging in your heels to delay the process, trust your intuition and take a leap of faith. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Yesterdays certainty morphs into todays doubt. Ironically, your wavering self-confidence is prompted by someone elses questionable behavior. You know that there are many strategies for improving your attitude, but you might not know where to begin. Unfortunately, asking others for help will only confuse matters further now. The answers to your questions must come from within; no one can tell you what to do. Believe in yourself; your journey is yours and yours alone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your reputation for fair-mindedness is more important to you than anything else today. But deceptive Neptune can mislead communicator Mercury and the Sun as they travel through your 1st House of Self, sending you down the proverbial rabbit hole.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Planning the next phase of your life could be less complicated if there werent so many things blocking your progress. At least, thats the story youre telling yourself now. Although you dont want to lose your sense of security while banking on the future, its time to move beyond your selfimposed limitations. Fortunately, you gain the power to alter your path by taking the road less traveled. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You might believe you can talk your way to success today, but words will only take you so far. Nevertheless, setting the right goals is an important start, especially while the willful Sun and thoughtful Mercury are busy strategizing in your 10th House of Status. Unfortunately, objectivity is challenging to find while delusional Neptune is also in the picture. Thankfully, your unflappable common sense helps you make the right choices now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Although you want to be pragmatic while moving forward, its nearly impossible to keep your mind on the essentials. Making concrete plans enables you to progress with confidence. However, spiritual Neptunes gentle presence in your 2nd House of Finances reminds you that theres a metaphysical component to money, too. The seen and unseen worlds both offer worthwhile opportunities for investments of your time. Deciding what you value most determines your options. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): There is an uneasy relationship between reality and your imagination today. Unfortunately, you cant just choose one over the other, even if each seems to be operating independently. Nevertheless, fact and fiction are merely two sides of the same coin and cannot be separated. Functioning in the real world while still honoring your need for fantasy is not just a compromise; its a viable strategy for satisfaction and success.
