HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April

19): You could feel jerked around by an authority figure today. While their whims probably seem impulsive, you may think you’ve failed if you’re not able to keep up with them. Showing them an alternate way of doing things is likely to impress them and win them to your cause.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Difficult parts of your life might be distressing at the moment. However, understanding yourself requires taking the whole picture into account. This effort can also help you define your direction moving forward. When you know where you’re going, you’re actually able to get there.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

A discussion with your friends may turn unexpectedly heavy. You might feel pressured to open up on topics you normally keep to yourself. However, once you accept that you don’t have to share anything you don’t want to, you may actually enjoy sitting back and listening to others tell their stories.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Power struggles in a close relationship could be painful. Seeking advice from a friend should help you get a more realistic perspective — but perhaps you don’t even have to ask them out loud. Just experiencing a gentler, more free way of relating can remind you that it’s possible.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Seeing how your philosophy fails to meet some of the real world’s challenges may disappoint you. That said, your sharp practical focus also has a bright side. You might be surprised to discover what actually works, but the universe should help you work with the results.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You want to share what’s on your mind. Though your mind might tend to fixate on the gory details of a controversial issue, the emotional charge is likely to make productive conversation difficult. On the other hand, the situation has a more helpful philosophical side.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Sharing space with others could be frustrating. Perhaps you just want some time to yourself, yet someone else is awkwardly in the way. How do you get peace without hurting their feelings? Reworking boundaries to expand each person’s freedom should help both of you enjoy the connection more.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

A conversation might be the last thing you want right now, particularly if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Finding a collaborator can make your load lighter, even if setting up the arrangement slows you down for a moment. Stuff will get done — just not in the way you expected.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Financial constraints may seem to prevent you from having fun. Remember that spending money isn’t the only way to have a good time. You can come to enjoy the do-it-yourself equivalent of what you wanted. Your ability to entertain yourself is likely to be rewarding.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Emotional security could be hard to come by now. Hiding this discomfort is likely to make it worse. Instead, try to express what you’re going through to diminish its impact. Learning that others have similar experiences may be reassuring for both you and them.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

A cutting remark could really get to you today. Instead of responding to them immediately, you’d be better off taking time by yourself to regroup. In a comfortable and private environment, you should be better able to think through the full story of why you’re upset with clarity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Life updates from your peers could leave you feeling insecure. If comparing yourself to others has become overwhelming, it may be wise to air your concerns with a trusted friend. Asking questions will probably reveal that the truth is more complicated than it appears.
