HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

You aspire to feel as free as a kid in a candy shop. Maybe you hunger for carefree hours to spend alone pursuing a favorite hobby or enjoying a delicious nap. All sorts of interesting possibilities naturally emerge when dedicated work and relaxation are in balance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

The advice you dish today could be right on the money. However, its usefulness could be determined by its delivery. A bland approach is likely to fall flat; if you’re too dramatic, your words might be over the top. The sweet spot is found in being sensitive to your audience.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

With a special event looming ever nearer, the most headway can be made by concentrating on one priority. Have patience with your mind, and give your thoughts a chance to crystallize. Like a feline, inspiration has a knack for finding its way home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Instinctive responses are cautious today, especially when you are working your way through matters of money or business. If you rush or fuss, you risk overlooking an important detail. Thankfully, even a large mountain can be moved one small stone at a time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Following your curiosity leads you to the beginning of an adventure. It is when your inquisitive nature is piqued by the prospect of relevant education that you are hooked. Whether it is in the realm of career or a do-it-yourself aspiration, you are quick to learn something new.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your eagle eye works like a charm today. A cornerstone of your originality is your ability to spot the creative possibilities in items that others see as strictly utilitarian. The proof is in the pudding, and your results consistently exceed even your own very high standards.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Step into a leadership role with surety, and you can designate and guide with confidence. Your instinctual understanding of the deeper significance of today’s itinerary throws a lot of responsibility in your direction. Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Begin a conversation, make a sales pitch, compose an editorial, or create art. The results might include a surprising realization or two, some profound insights, and a whole lot of emotions you need to get off your chest. Finding the right outlet for all of your intensity is the real trick.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21):

Advance on all fronts, but do so carefully today. Be deliberate about every footfall and you can broaden your influence or multiply the scope of realistic options on your menu. Thankfully, little by little, you can inch closer to it. Progress isn’t measured by a straight line.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Your social skills are so in the groove that you may sail through any engagement by your charm alone. Others are exceptionally receptive to your message. Soak up the vitality of a caring community spirit while you can. Paying the kindness forward is an absolute pleasure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You can be so progressive in your thinking that it is difficult to muster up much patience for stalwart adherence to the status quo. However, small changes made in delicate increments could be the least disruptive way to proceed when an update is required.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Accompanying others on a meaningful mission or happy quest is a perfect use of your time today. Spending time with cheerful companions is its own reward, and you don’t need to seek very far to do it. Your emotional support and positive attitude make you sought-after for many adventures.
