HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): A colleague or acquaintance might try to curb your enthusiasm about a plan today. Before you brand someone a hater or slip into a spiral of selfdoubt, consider whether their criticism possesses any merit. A balanced and realistic approach, fueled by your gusto, works best.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You might need to disclose your own complex feelings as a buddy shares their burdens. However, revealing your feelings, instead of resenting your friend, can stanch a oneway tidal wave today. Create a bond based on mutual vulnerability.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Coaching a close friend or partner through a tough time might be harder than you expected. Poet laureate Maya Angelou wrote, “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.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22): You could experience a renewed interest in a topic that once triggered a strong response from you. It’s often scary to venture into dark parts of the psyche that’s crowded with your fears and storied taboos, but now you can release anxieties that keep you from growing. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Many spiritual teachers and scientists alike talk about the healing power of humor, yet sometimes it’s impossible to see the lighter side of things. Search for new comedic material. The where and how isn’t important as long as your story is uplifting to your audience.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Deciding whether someone’s loud complaints merit your attention may leave you feeling uneasy. Perhaps you don’t want to be caught up in their drama. Avoid trying to match their volume. Instead, deliver the news plainly and directly so they can receive it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be slow to make a decision today, especially if neither option is perfect. Vacillating between wanting to accomplish a lot and doing absolutely nothing probably frustrates you. You’re able to have the best of all worlds if you’re willing to stretch a little.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might seek out costly pleasures or overindulge yourself today in order to relieve pent-up pressures. You could whoosh through too much cash as well in your attempt to blow off steam. Just be sure you can find your way back to balance before throwing your life out of whack. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Impatience comes and goes today, prompting your emotions to vary as you bounce around from topic to topic. Fortunately, you can lead with your heart by focusing on acts of service. Educator Booker T. Washington wrote, “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ferreting out discrepancies or lies may seem like child’s play to you . You can sense when a person leaves out important details to a story. But be mindful not to dig too much or you might uncover more than you’re prepared to handle. Respectboundaries.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your noble intentions about a worthy cause might be misplaced or overzealous now. Perform due diligence before committing to an endeavor, even if it’s for a crowdfunding campaign. Otherwise, seek alternative ways to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re willing to devote energy toward a task once you’re convinced your participation is essential. You want to know that your efforts won’t be wasted if you put aside some of your current activities to focus elsewhere. Pace yourself, and your enthusiasm will help you.
