HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:
People sometimes take full credit for actions they didn’t intend and/or execute. Often it’s not deceptiveness but the overwhelming human tendency to rationalize that is to blame. Those who know this and plan for it, taking measures to protect what’s truly theirs, will be the ones to keep order during this lunar square to Jupiter.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). To do what you can while you are where you are — that’s all you can ask of yourself. If this is your only directive for yourself, it will be an exceptionally beautiful, productive day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Renunciation may refer to a religious tenet for those who wish to turn away from the trappings and temptations of the world. It also refers to a practice of turning toward something. To get what you seek, you’ll renounce its opposite.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To understand who a person really is takes more than good observational skills, though those are certainly part of it. The truth requires objectivity. You’ll detach from your hopes and see a person for who he or she really is.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some care about competition more than others, though you should really watch out for the ones who claim not to care at all. A degree of competitive instinct lives inside everyone you’ll meet today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your pursuits will be informed by great love and compassion. You’ll have an overwhelming sense of your equality with — and intricate connection to — the other beings of the planet.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To fulfill the full potential of the role, the person in power must be tirelessly vigilant and answer every challenge. Right now, you’re not really sure you want to step into that position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe the world is less substantial than you once believed. Sure, it’s filled with things and items. But they don’t seem to mean anything to you until you assign a meaning. It will feel liberating not to cling so tightly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A dominant percentage of the universe is made up of mass that cannot be directly observed. There seems to be a similar percentage of unobservable material influencing your day, which will evolve in mysterious directions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To rage against the reality of the moment with your expectation and hope for it — this is natural. It’s what children do in tantrums and adults do in gripe sessions. Both instances are futile, of course.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The force needed for circular motion is the force of gravity. It’s what makes the moon orbit the Earth, the planets orbit the sun, the stars orbit the center of the galaxy. And there’s something grave that’s making you orbit your dear one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because something is not found doesn’t mean it’s nonexistent. It will apply to your love life. Usually, the proof of love makes you relax into your trust of someone, but with today’s proof’s being slow in coming, you’ll have to trust.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though you can’t entirely rid yourself of all the negative facts and forces alive in the world, you can greatly reduce their power over you with today’s increased agency over your own focus.
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Make a wish list for your personal life in August; the act of articulating your wants will have strange magic in it. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are 3, 38, 31, 41 and 6.
