HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): Rebelling against the routine gets you nowhere. Perhaps an opportunity perfectly poised to fall into your lap instead lands in someone else’s. Of course, you’re entitled to feel your fair share of disappointment, but remember, when a door slams, there’s often a window opening.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sometimes it does take two to make a thing go right. Seeing a familiar joy through someone else’s fresh eyes can enhance the experience of your treasured bliss. Release yourself from the fear of judgement or the worry that your friend might not appreciate your enthusiasm.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): You can accommodate others so far before you lose yourself. Listen to feedback. Let your work speak for itself. Master motivator Zig Ziglar said, “Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Make sure you’re well-fed and rested if you must be socially active now. Otherwise, you can quickly become cranky. One way to sustain a positive attitude is to keep a memento in your pocket or to recreate hominess in your workspace. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): An alluring purchase isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be now. Shop around and ask detailed questions, including whether you need what you want. Read customer reviews closely, and do your due diligence. Be sure what you buy is true and enduring and not just a reflection of your desires.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A word of encouragement to a loved one means more than a poignant critique. Focus on the good rather than what’s not working. Poet Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your commitment is fueled by the belief that you are making the world a better place. However, you may worry that public and financial appreciation might alter or complicate your work. You can’t help but make a difference when you invest with all of your heart.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Clearing up a lingering misunderstanding is your priority today. The funny thing is, it won’t matter who is right or wrong now. Your heart may be singing a different song very soon. Taking responsibility for your part in the current situation enables reconciliation. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Turn on your grace and sense of glamor to wow potential partners or followers. Familiarity breeds contempt. Perhaps there’s a use for that vintage jacket waiting in the wings of your wardrobe for its day in the Sun. Bend your own expectations, and surprise the world with your originality.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Assume nothing is as obvious as it appears today. Build a bridge of greater understanding by actively seeking out a different perspective on a difficult position. Be open about your concerns, especially if you feel uncomfortable. Revealing your heart changes everything.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s all too easy to lose track when your mind drifts toward other interests and concerns. Set time aside to relieve your mental process by writing your thoughts down or sharing them with a supportive friend. Practicing selfdiscipline improves your productivity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People may be drawn to your compassionate wisdom even if you’re not feeling very wise or compassionate. In fact, you might be on the hunt for a little inspiration and kindness yourself today. Avoid the impulse to fulfill what you see as other people’s expectations of sympathy.
