HOROSCOPE
Mars and Shifting Goals Under the lunar conjunction of Mars, goals could change without warning. Just when the prize is within reach, the excitement drops out as though part of us has already moved on. But where to? What’s next? All of this is a good reason to slow down. If you don’t know where you’re going, there’s no sense in setting a speed record to get there.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be happiest while in the process of learning something new. Embark on an educational venture to spark your creativity and reignite your sense of wonder.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being grateful is not just something you do; it’s something you are. No matter what you take on, you’re coming from a place of appreciation and that’s what makes this day great.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Are your actions working toward the goal
you have in mind? You’ll want to know how you’re doing. There’s nothing wrong with just asking. The question might actually be charming and disarming.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Extra energy and vitality is yours to play with. It’s as though you’ve tapped into an energy field and are being compelled, not by your own volition, but by the very force that fuels the spinning of the planets.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Others may do things in a way that clearly works great. Still, never discount what you know or reject your own roots. To accept and love where you came from is essential to feeling comfortable in the world.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Write it down so you don’t have to worry about remembering. Set a timer so you won’t procrastinate. Lock the door and turn off the Wi-Fi so you won’t get interrupted or distracted. The best solutions are simple
and obvious. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It used to be that people believed the answers were blowing in the wind. Now they believe the answers are trending on Twitter or Reddit. Just to be safe, check everywhere.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the name of getting things done, you might have to limit your mental scope. There will be enough to do with what’s actually happening without also worrying about what might happen or what could happen.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your heart may cherish your friends, but it’s the rest of you that really lets them know. Your deeds speak volumes. They’ll be warmed by your actions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). By simply sharing your honest appraisal of a situation you’ll do more good than you could possibly know. If this sort of thing also happens to be your job, the result will make you money today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Not everyone wants to be famous, and you’ll be living proof of this today as you choose to do your thing without taking a picture or otherwise submitting some representation of it to the eyes of the world.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll do a thing and then cross it off your list. But don’t let that be the only reason to cross things off. If you know you’ll never do it, that’s as fine a reason as any to put a pen slash through it.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 18). When you think of the best thing that’s happened to you, what pops to mind isn’t something you would have predicted – a random bit of luck you turned into something exceptional. This sort of astounding joy will repeat before the year’s end. Also notable, an investment will pay off, as will a mutual attraction. Leo and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 26, 1, 20 and 44.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “What are your views on whether or not a relationship can work out between me, a Leo (Aug. 20, 1981) and a Virgo (Sept. 20, 1980)? I was in a relationship with another Virgo with the same birthdate (Sept. 20, 1984), and we have a child together, but that relationship fell through, horribly, to say the least. Should I write off this other Virgo for having the same birthdate, or could this possibly work out?”
Don’t write it off. They were born on the same day of the year so the Virgo sun is around the same degree. There are eight other planets (and one moon) to consider! The sun connection is only a minor player in anyone’s love story. Other positive connections make Virgo Two a contender. He receives love rays from your Venus in Libra, admiring your composed grace. He’s eager to learn about love through you, so play the teacher with Virgo Two. Use the lessons learned from previous relationships to guide your relationship. You both have a karmic connection surrounding his Aquarian moon; he feels totally comfortable around you. You dig his idiosyncratic quirks; he digs yours. You’re fast friends.
