Cosmic Warning Against Oblivion
The sun conjunct Uranus and a lunar opposition to Mars warn against an overabundance of self involvement. When simple rules of common decency seem like epic achievements, things are in a sorry state. This simple advice bears mention: When people are talking to you, pay attention. You might be the only one who does.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s something of value you don’t want to lose. This is what’s standing between you and a change. The shift will only be possible after you’ve reckoned with your feelings and deemed the loss to be necessary.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you wanted to get judgmental, all the data is right there in front of you. It doesn’t look great on paper, so there’s plenty to judge. But you want to be constructive instead -which is hard, helpful and so on-brand for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are those who will do anything you ask of them, but you have to tell them exactly what to do. Do you really want to work that hard? Seek people who come with their own initiative.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). To talk about what you know and listen when you don’t seems so simple, but many will violate the rule. They speak to fill the void or get attention -- tiresome. All you have to do is politely excuse yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you think about it, the amount of love and respect you give yourself pretty much mirrors the amount you give others and vice versa. So no matter how you go about it, increasing the love increases the love.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those who worry about having a thing are not really rich in it. There are two ways to be rich -- to have so much of something that you can’t possibly run out of it or to have so little of it that you have nothing to lose.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It would be unreasonable and cold-hearted to love only those who love themselves. Love all types if you can. But when it comes to your close relationships, the healthier prospects promise wonderful harmony.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s said that complaining is like a rocking chair; a comfort though it never goes anywhere. Arguably, those who find comfort in complaining provide far less of it to everyone within earshot. Luckily, you know when to use your feet.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Explore, decide, change your mind -- all part of the process. Anyone who gives you a hard time about this doesn’t fully understand your creativity. Believe in your vision enough for anyone who can’t see it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). But be mindful not to tie your self-worth into anything as precarious as a bank balance, bad hair day or other transitory state. Moods will rise and fall like the temperature outside, but your value remains inestimable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Look into the depth of the sky, imagine the breadth of the ocean, try and count the stars. Take that expansive feeling with you wherever you go and know that whatever it is you think you lack, there really is enough to go around.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s an elegance in you that you often let shine, though sometimes you tuck it behind a shield because you don’t want too many people coming for you at once. Today, you’re very much in control of and aware of this.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 30). The endeavor becomes possible because you believe it is possible. You’ll build skills and adopt new modes of thought. It is fortifying beyond measure to know you are growing in mind and spirit. In June, you’ll dedicate yourself to growing in financial ways, too, as your dream needs real-world assets to back it up. Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 17, 3, 37 and 5.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: It’s just gotten too complicated. Two things will improve your love life: a desire to simplify and the will to follow through. TAURUS: How attractive a person is to you has everything to do with the person’s thought processes and the way they carry themselves. GEMINI: No one is expecting you to be perfect except you.
CANCER: You’d like to feel firmly in control, but the very nature of sharing is that it causes you not to be -- something to embrace. LEO: Your adventures in love will be driven by a quest for beauty, glamour and excitement. VIRGO: You get the sense that some of your preferences are not your own; rather, they were instilled in you by those who wanted you to be like them.
LIBRA: To love a person is to accept that some of your feelings are held in their hands. The less you know and trust a person, the more uncomfortable that will be.
SCORPIO: You may be unaware, but loving eyes are most certainly focused on you.
SAGITTARIUS: When your time with someone is limited, you make sure to pack in all the good stuff. CAPRICORN: You’re as attractive as you feel. You can drum it up on command.
AQUARIUS: Passions peak and dip, but friendships span the distance.
PISCES: People praise your humor. Any chance you are masking fear or pain by making people laugh?
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Capricorn and Taurus are among the most ideal matches of the zodiac, often showing up in a power coupling. As far as glamour goes, it doesn’t get much more succinct than the pairing of power and money, which is this couple’s essence. And what about the deeper, more meaningful aspects? They exist, too, at the root, bonded deep enough in the earth that the world’s perception can’t touch.
