HOROSCOPES

-

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Call in help from a friend or profession­al today, and forgo trying to manage a difficult dilemma on your own. Sweep aside any egotistica­l pride that is blocking your success. An experience­d assessment from an objective eye might save you days or even months of frustratio­n.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Turn off your inner critic. Expressing your creative side releases emotional tensions and repressed joys. Honestly, the level of your artistic talent is of little consequenc­e now, so there is no reason to feel foolish or inadequate. Take a dance class with a friend or doodle.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You may yearn for the expression of wild creativity or ache for the joys of romance. However, your fear of rejection could hold you back. The goal isn’t necessaril­y to tame your fun, but to structure it so you can enjoy yourself on your own terms.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Your domestic sphere might be consuming your mental space, whether your family’s well-being or your home’s decor. Mostly, you want to ensure that you and your loved ones are comfortabl­e in every way possible. The quality of your care matters more than the quantity.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Striving to play the hero for colleagues might have an odd effect of leaving you in need of help yourself today. Although your heart is definitely in the right place, examine your motives for using such a difficult task to prove yourself. Skip the dramatic gestures and trust you are enough.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

The truth is not making a choice is a choice in itself. Err on the side of caution, especially if you think you must take a leap of faith because you’re at an impasse with research and analysis. However, there’s only so much risk you can ward off before you’re surviving, not living.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The moment is ripe for stripping away thoughts and possession­s that are weighing you down. Perhaps you carry too much stress in your body. Returning to basics and purging from your life is immensely liberating now. Never forget laughter lightens the load.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Spending time alone in nature enables you to reunite with the untamed edges of your own mind and heart. The venue isn’t as important now as claiming space to listen to your own thoughts. This kind of spiritual reconnecti­on might be difficult to articulate to others or even fully fathom yourself.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22Dec. 21):

Add peacemaker as another role to your growing list of titles and talents. Your forte rests in your current ability to deftly broker goodwill and calm. Fortunatel­y, a mix of humor, candor, and genuine affection for your friends enables you to appeal to their hearts, if not their common sense.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Favoring negotiatio­n over power struggles and ego games is the smartest strategy today. Some people think the goal is to win at nearly any cost. Transform an impulse to clash with a colleague or competitor into an opportunit­y to strike a mutually beneficial deal. Be patient.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Worrying too much about manifestin­g your big plans can squeeze the life out of them. One of the most artful attackers of vision is “how?” This question presumes that you have more control with your aspiration­s than may be true. Instead, life seems to favor whoever moves with faith.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

The heart is remarkably resilient. An encounter with someone from your past leaves you with unresolved feelings. Resist the impulse to make dramatic proclamati­ons or to obsess about what might happen. Embrace your current sentiments with solitude.
