HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Your thinking is unusually influenced by emotions. Your empathy is in overdrive, and if anyone in your circle has a heavy heart, you are swift to suggest honest conversation. Helen Keller wrote, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Hold onto your hat because you’re in for a rollercoaster ride. More accurately, it’s your wallet that’s in for an adventure, and you could be treated to some ups and downs . Benjamin Franklin wrote, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Quick-paced developments draw you into the emotions of the moment. Nevertheless, the cosmic vibes seem better suited to dealing with everyday affairs than to making decisions about the future. Sometimes, chilling out can be the perfect way to regenerate.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Overcome your inner resistance to hearing another person’s side of the story. Even if you don’t agree with a single word you hear, the insight of your loved one, colleague, or opponent can be valuable. Respecting others’ the opinions sets a fine example for everyone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

You deserve grand treatment after the countless deeds you’ve done for others. It’s flattering to know that there are plenty of folks willing to lend a hand. Before you choose to go solo, remember that a burden shared is halved and a joy shared is doubled.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your genuine reflection on a project can infuse passion into everything you do. If you’re composing a biography, resume, or self-expressive essay, it certainly won’t amount to just a bunch of words on a screen. Show some compassion for the younger you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

For reasons of your own, your air of detachment could be a deliberate strategy. Maybe you don’t want competitors to know your plans. Deep down, excitement is bubbling. Keep as much under wraps as you choose, but always chase your dreams.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

So much hinges on balance. Saying too much might make you feel vulnerable, but carrying too many secrets could weigh you down. Relationship dynamics flow best if you heed the old-school advice “Just be yourself.” If you’re nothing but real, others are encouraged to be the same. Water seeks its level, and so does authenticity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21):

Your inclination is to be responsive to others’ needs. You’re unlikely to put your own agenda completely on hold, but you are quick to prioritize others’ wishes. Rather than playing the role of lone wolf, you’re an indispensable part of the pack.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

While you’re always among the first to come down on the side of common sense, it’s tempting even for you to put on rose-colored glasses now. There’s nothing wrong with leaning on your imagination to envision a positive outcome rather than caving in to pessimism and doubt.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)|:

Despite whatever shiny distraction or gossip swirls around you, it’ is possible to make tremendous progress toward a goal. Compartmentalize and concentrate to cross the finish line. You have what it takes to be a champion if you practice selfdiscipline.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Your ability to duck and dodge comes in handy today, especially if you’re being pelted by requests from friends, associates, and who knows else. Always cooperating can’t ideally work in the real world. Establishing limits isn’t selfish when it’s motivated by self-concern.
