HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

News or social media disputes could set you off at this time, and this does not make you petty. Many political controversies come down to serious questions about how to meet people’s needs without controlling them. This is a major challenge of parenting as well.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You may be obsessed with a favorite author, mentor or spiritual leader, to the point that your family is tired of hearing you talk about them. Try not to take it as a personal attack that they don’t share all your passions. You could meet new friends along the way.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You may want to know all the details about a money matter, and you might be frustrated that someone seems to be withholding information. Try to be realistic about what is truly necessary for you to know right this second, though. The more they feel pushed, the less likely you are to get what you need.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Someone close could seem to be hiding something from you, and the more you try to get it out of them, the more they resist. Appreciating that the other person may not have bad intentions could help you interact with them kindly rather than suspiciously.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Today you may need to try extra hard to be aware of hidden dynamics in your routine responsibilities because it could be easy for you to unintentionally hurt people’s feelings. Information might be hiding in plain sight. It might be challenging to find the middle ground, but err on the side of gentleness.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Relationships can go well for you now if you let them, but getting past your own inhibitions may be the hard part. If you don’t reveal anything about yourself, however, the exchanges could start to feel lopsided. Remember to think of your conversations as connections.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Inhibitions dating back to your early life may come to the surface as you push forward toward progress in your career. Trying to get a handle on the big issues involved could overwhelm you, and asking your friends for advice might only add a layer of confusion to the situation. You need an easy win now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 1):

Feeling like you need to choose between being accepted and pursuing what really excites you could trigger some anxiety about being abandoned. If you embrace having fun alone, you may paradoxically find that others want to join.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Filling out even routine forms about financial matters could aggravate you today, as the questions seem overly intrusive. Focus on what the form actually says. While you may have valid reasons for feeling threatened, whoever you are dealing with now might not be part of that drama.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The more someone else picks at you today, the more you may want to withdraw into yourself — and the more you stonewall them, the more agitated they become. If you can bring yourself to talk to them, though, you may be able to share your side of the story.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Collaborating with others on routine work or chores may be frustrating today, as you seem to hit the snag of someone else’s sensitivity no matter what you do. You just want things to be done right, and you might start to wonder if this person is acting offended to bully you. Focus on things of your own.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 2):

Social situations could be murky. You may have thought the goal was a good time. What people are really in the mood for could differ from the agenda, and a conflict or upset may need to be aired out before you can move forward.
