HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19): Forgiveness empowers you to rise above the drama. However, partnerships of all kinds are in the spotlight today, tempting you to become more involved than necessary. By remembering your eternal connection to spirit, you can access compassion.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Choose to honor truth and experience abundance. Having depends on giving, not on getting. This altruistic approach is a departure from the dominant societal way of thinking. Your right mind sees only opportunities to participate in creating a better world.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Your mind is infinitely powerful. Subconscious tapes running from your childhood may show up, but your reaction determines how your day continues. Take full responsibility for the world you see, and give up whatever you must to undo any errors in thinking.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): A childlike approach only strives to protect its heart. Communicate with others as though they are your family. Although everyone is different, look for the similar threads between you and another. Accept your own completion, and others will act from a similar space.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your priorities come into sharper focus today as you reexamine your values. Consider all the molehills you turned into mountains, and the strange feelings that followed those judgments. All emotions need to be experienced, but don’t confuse passing moods with eternal truth.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your analytical nature is beautiful, but there’s no reason to compose fictional masterpieces today. The mind thinks it requires endless prescriptions to avoid catastrophes, but this may create a different problem in the process. Control what you can, and let the rest go.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Miracles undo the past in the present and release the future. The kindest gift you can offer to another is a blank slate of forgiveness. Holding someone to their self of yesterday is a delusional game. Perceive the reality that is now, and free yourself and everyone else.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Accepting your own liberation is only possible in the present moment. You are granted a newfound freedom when you relinquish judgment and condemnation. You are able to see your own wholeness reflected in another when you go within to bear witness to your personal healing.

Everyone makes mistakes and deserves a chance to correct them. Casting every person in the best possible light brings your own love closer to your awareness.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let go of a knee-jerk tendency to judge what occurs today. Truth need not struggle against ignorance, and love does not attack fear. There’s no reason to be overly protective now. Your work is to see from a higher perspective and fuse everything into one clear purpose.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The choice is yours whether to learn through pain or joy. Part of being a powerful communicator is to master the art of silence. Imagine what it would be like to have no cares, worries, or anxieties, and be perfectly serene all the time. Your cosmic compass cannot steer you wrong.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You must free yourself from fear if you wish to bring peace to the world. Unfortunately, reaching this idealistic goal may be an uphill battle today, especially if people in your social network seem to thwart your good intentions. Don’t let anyone deter you from striving for the highest good of all.
