HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

An authority figure may be wielding guilt trips to control you today. The more you idealize this person, the more room they could have to exploit you. Thankfully, your friends can be a great resource for you to get a reality check.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Although you may have felt manipulated into holding certain intellectual or spiritual views out of fear in the past, you can turn things around now by finding a leader who has a more relaxed attitude toward the mysteries of life. The room this person gives you come as a relief.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Someone you are entangled with may be using the threat of withholding things from you to get you to do what they want. Refining your own beliefs about what constitutes a healthy partnership can guide your decision about how to handle this situation.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Your idea of what your home life should be might differ from its current reality, and you may be tempted to use manipulation to get the people you live with to fill in the gaps. However, you’re better off putting in practical work to maintain the space and resources.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You might be suspicious that the boundaries in one of your close relationships are not what they should be. You can try to investigate this further by seeing whether the other person respects your decisions about your personal wellness, such as diet or other health matters. You can tell when something feels off.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

It might be difficult for you to hold on to your money today if someone important to you is in need. Whether this is your own child or someone else who seems dependent, your protective instincts may be hard to turn off. A victim and rescuer dynamic helps no one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You may wonder why you should bother planning your own routine when someone in your home or family always seems to upend it anyway. While you may feel like your willingness to be flexible makes you liked, you’ll probably be happier if you stick to boundaries.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You can be a great advocate for something you really value today, as long as you know when to stop. Describing how a situation has emotionally affected you may be a powerful part of speaking up for what you need. Crossing the line into manipulation is a risk, however.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

People you know might admire your logical way of thinking, but they could be surprised to discover that you are also equipped to resolve problems that defy rationality. Your most useful trick at this time may be a flexible idea of what constitutes currency. Money might not motivate someone.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

It might be hard to resist going off on an emotional rant in public today, as you feel like your grievance is so important that the ends justify the means. Be careful not to get in your own way, though. Things could actually be developing behind the scenes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

If you don’t know what you value, you might be willing to accept a philosophy that doesn’t help you get it. You may be more vulnerable than usual to subtle manipulation now, and your intellectual nature could work against you if it leads you to disregard your intuition.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Sharing the most intense things on your mind with your social network might be risky at this time, as it could result in you being misunderstood and having your words twisted against you. You may be less disappointed if you can admit some people don’t WANT to understand.
