HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): Making the most of a potential financial windfall will require understanding. That said, the temptation to spend your way out of that malaise may lead you in a destructive direction. Don’t try to manipulate how others see you — focus on what’s likely to make your life secure.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Who you are can encompass a lot. The way you handle an embarrassing secret could be contributing to the problem. You might be unsure whether to hide it or rebelliously wear it on your sleeve. Look for a middle path — it’s part of you, but there’s also more to you than that.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Awkwardness in a social setting is a risk. Taking a break from the situation may be more fruitful. If you feel connected to a higher power, you’re not necessarily alone. Once you get perspective, it should become clearer which conflicts are worth the trouble.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

You may feel like an authority figure is unfairly picking on you at the moment. As they look at your current situation from the outside, they might be able to recommend strategies for navigating it in a more functional way. If you’re willing to consider options, be open about that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Pushing toward your goals is finally possible. Although putting yourself in a situation where you aren’t able to keep up won’t serve you, try to discern the difference between boundaries that exist for valid reasons and bureaucracy that has gotten out of control.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

A big trip is likely on the menu for you now, but the hard part is probably getting there from here. Although supportive Jupiter is shifting, you might still struggle with the parts of your plan that aren’t totally under your control. A fellow traveler could be flaking out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

A frustrating dynamic in a close relationship could have you thinking smaller than typical. You may not see how it’s possible to escape a particular role that doesn’t let you fully express yourself. Within reason, taking on a manageable loan might be worth the risk.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Fighting with a loved one over petty stuff is a risk at this moment. Fortunately, this may be just the provocation you need to start digging deeper. Day-to-day responsibilities are unavoidable, but reconnecting with why you appreciate each other should help you keep those tasks in perspective.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Becoming pleasantly busy is currently possible for you. Some constraints that concern you could be coming from your own inhibitions rather than reality. Still, it would be wise to recognize that not every environment is equipped to give you certain kinds of validation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Reconnecting with your inner child may be a high priority at present. If it’s been a while since you were able to kick back and relax, this could reawaken your memories from an earlier time in your life. Whatever comes up, it’s part of what made you who you are.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Being misunderstood in conversation could be frustrating for you today. It may be necessary to separate your own anxieties from what someone else actually said. An expectation that others won’t get you might be pushing you to act in ways that make this outcome more likely.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Promising things you can’t deliver can currently be a tempting trap for you. If you exaggerate your accomplishments or resources in an effort to maintain your hold on the spotlight, though, it’s likely to backfire on you. The truth of who you are is good enough, even if you wish it were more exciting.
