HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Risks taken at this time may not pay off. Things are likely to backfire. This is not the time to put yourself out there or to make vital decisions, as unforeseen small issues could derail your best-laid plans. Play it safe and verify every detail.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Disappointment could come knocking at any moment. People with more power than you could be deciding things for you, which can be difficult — particularly if you don’t know them. Despite possibly not getting what you were hoping for, you might still see some improvements in the near future.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Getting your point across might be difficult today. Others seem like they’ve decided to misunderstand you on purpose. This can be frustrating for you, to the point that you blow up at someone for being stubborn and not wanting to understand you. Count to 10 before you get heated!

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Finances could spur headaches throughout the day. Unexpected bills could make your wallet a little lighter than normal, so you might want to avoid impulse buys at the moment. Instead, do your best to save up for any future curveballs. Be fiscally responsible today.

You might be used to being open about your feelings, and if anyone tries to criticize how you express yourself, you may find yourself on the defensive. While your pride could be wounded by this, don’t feel like you have to retaliate against that person. Own who you are.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Any unfinished business could turn into a problem. Someone with whom you don’t have closure might try to return to your life, or a project that you never finished may create issues for you. Wanting to move on to something new is very valid, but don’t feel like you have to run away from anything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Taking a break from being social may be necessary today. Regardless of how much you want to be there for other people, the needs that you’re being asked to fill might be too much to bear! You can only juggle so many tasks at once. Overcommitting would be a painful downfall.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Difficult news could crop up when it comes to your present duties. Completing the tasks at hand might come with obstacles. Try to seek out the counsel of your friends whenever dealing with the news becomes difficult. A close pal may have been through a similar situation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Someone in your life may challenge your current beliefs. They might be doing this to get your attention, or simply because they want to know more about your philosophy. Being frustrated by their questions is understandable. Try to answer them with patience.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Old connections could break at this time. You might find that you were wearing rose-colored glasses when it came to a friend. This doesn’t have to end the friendship completely, but a separation might take place after you learn this about them. It could be hard to accept that things have changed.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Trying to please other people isn’t likely to go well at the moment. Even when you’re on your best behavior, there may be someone there to criticize what you’re presenting them with. Build yourself up instead — you’ve got to be the one who advocates for you!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Energy might be difficult to come by right now. Feeling drained is likely, and even a good night’s rest or some caffeine may not have been able to perk you up. There could be tension in your friend group. No matter how much the drama tries to suck you in, do your best to resist.
