HOROSCOPE

War and Peace Sky The second difficult square of the week features Mercury in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces. People have a way of saying the exact thing that could most trigger deep unrest in another. They don’t even have to try. Countering this aspect is the peaceful Libra moon. When you feel your fist clenching, tap into the Libra moon and let it go.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you feel like you’ve let yourself down recently, but the cause of underperformance may well be a lack of self-love. How could you better appreciate yourself? Give yourself attention because you need it to thrive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know that area you’re weak in? Well, guess what. You’re not really weak in that area at all – you’re just inexperienced. Get more practice, and you’ll grow rapidly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your entire being cannot be captured in one snapshot. For this reason, you don’t have to worry about how you’re viewed by others. Most people only see a very small part of you anyhow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Befriend time. Settle into the belief that everything is happening in the moment that it should. Rushing or pushing, even if you are running late, will not get you where you’re supposed to be any faster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel like you’re being punished, and probably the disciplinarian is a voice inside your head. Try not to think of things in terms of bad or good. So you made a choice that didn’t work. Choose again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are drawn to objects that help you appreciate time’s natural process. Such objects are records of the sun, wind, rain, temperature and human wear. They remind you of the fragility and the strength inside you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a honed aesthetic. You don’t follow the conventions of good taste, even though you know what those conventions are. The irregularity that happens by chance or accident will be especially beautiful to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You influence the people you believe in, perhaps without even trying to. You know they can accomplish great things, and your belief in them helps to make this come true.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your acts of caring do not only affect the people and animals close to you. They

are part of what brings your whole community closer. You’ll never know how you’ve contributed to the world by making one person happy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Follow through in full confidence. You are capable, efficient and effective. Believe and act on what you believe. You’ll be on sure footing every step of the way. You’ve got this one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The work at hand will help you to develop your identity. So dive in, even if you suspect the job is not a perfect fit for you. You’ll learn about yourself in the process, and that’s what’s important.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it love or not? To determine this, it might help you to think of love as an action, not a feeling. When you do, it suddenly will be obvious who loves whom.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 29). Your world will grow, but don’t worry – your influence will, too. New projects beckon you in June. Apply what you learned (to prove that you learned it), and you’ll have a round of beginner’s luck. Making money inspires you to make more in July. September brings sparkling new relationships and peace to those who were ailing. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 49, 3, 21 and 15.
