Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

An odd encounter leaves you a bit puzzled about someone you thought you knew. These iffy feelings are nothing to ignore, but dont do anything rash not yet, anyway. What you might initially consider aloof behavior could turn out to be entirely understandable, once you have all the facts. Cut this person a break until you hear their side of the story. Adopting a wait-and-see attitude has saved more than one perfectly good relationship. Everyone deserves a second chance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Leave some open time in your schedule for last-minute changes and late arrivals. Your ruling planet, friendly and flirty Venus, is quite the social butterfly now, adding an element of surprise to your world. The planet of love and creativity is dancing to her own beat in unpredictable Aquarius, making it impossible to say exactly what your day might bring; rest assured you wont be bored. You may not end up where you planned, but there are distinct advantages to going with the flow. Wherever you are will be right where the universe wants you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Someone with a wonderful accent may enter your world via a social situation or community event. Accents are like music to your curious ears, so you can't help but want to meet the owner of this delightful voice. There's nothing wrong with politely introducing yourself if the opportunity arises. However, keep the conversation brief if you're in the company of a dear one who is expecting to have you all to themselves today. You can catch up with this intriguing stranger at a more convenient time. A coincidental encounter offers you the chance to explore a new connection. Proceed with caution for the sake of harmony.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Theres every reason to hope for the best outcome from a relationship glitch now. Nevertheless, you need to relax your expectations as things are unlikely to unfold exactly as you imagine. The universe prepares a mixed buffet for you today, involving not just a change of heart, but quite possibly a change of direction. Youre both feeling the need for growth. All thats left is to talk the dilemma over and agree to tackle it together. Dont worry about being perfect when being honest is enough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Mixing and mingling is your main objective today. It doesnt matter whether youre shopping for a new friend, a different lover, or just some amusing online acquaintances. Spend some time poking around the spaces where kindred spirits gather. Think of it as a cosmic treasure hunt with unexpected gems waiting to be discovered. Search with an open mind and an optimistic heart. Novelist Alyson Noel said, We meet the people were supposed to when the time is right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Offering a recommendation on behalf of a family member or old friend now leads to positive long-term benefits. Love, a sense of belonging, and human connection are the universal sources of true emotional well-being. By letting someone know you believe in them, you can provide the whole package and motivate them to rise to the occasion. If theyve experienced a rough patch lately and youre unsure they can handle a full load of responsibilities just yet, there's no point in overselling their capabilities. Sincerity never fails to inspire understanding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You are unusually blunt today, and unwilling to back down on your viewpoints. As tactful as you typically tend to be in your interactions, this direct approach will most definitely raise some eyebrows which, truth be told, might delight you almost as much as talking without a filter. The more fervently you believe in your cause, the less likely you can smile politely for any type of rude rebuttal. Be proud of your bravery and reclaim your power. Activist Maggie Kuhn said, Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The erratic behavior of a loved one has left you wondering about how best to handle the effect its having on your family as a whole. The good news is that your crew is tough, and they are already busy creating their healthy coping strategies. All thats really left is for you to plan your own. Remember, you cant control what anyone else does, but you can control how long you participate in allowing it to continue. Confront what you no longer want to ignore.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Dont spend the day stewing over a single snippet from one conversation. Trying to figure out what someone really meant by what they said and how you should have responded to it is a huge waste of time and energy. Let it go. The perfect retort will come to you without any effort at all by the time evening rolls around. Your sense of humor is your saving grace. Author William Burroughs said, Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The plight of a loved one touches your heart today, prompting you to consider what you can do to help them out. However, if this isnt an isolated incident, extending nothing more than constructive advice might be best now. Its entirely possible to say no and still find positive ways to offer support. Theres nothing wrong with erecting strong personal boundaries when your first duty is to protect yourself. Tough love is toughest on those who care.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

A cherished opinion youve defended many times must be defended once again. The Libra Full Moon sets up shop in your 9th House of Big Ideas, supplying you with the objectivity you need to accurately make your case, without any excessive emotional bias. Remember, others are likely to feel just as strongly about their own beliefs. You dont have to see eye to eye with them, but if they listen to your position, its only fair you do the same in return. One of the truest tests of maturity is the ability to remain rational and kind while disagreeing with someone. Respect is a two-way street.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20):

Managing a complicated joint financial matter in a harmonious manner is entirely possible now. The even-handed Libra Full Moon energizes your 8th House of Shared Resources, asking that you put an end to any recent bickering and do what it takes to make peace. If this means negotiating a bit more than you expected today, so be it. You can pave the way to an equitable outcome for all parties involved by letting everyone know youre willing to find a happy medium. Fredrik Nael said, It takes both sides to build a bridge.
