HOROSCOPES TODAY IN HISTORY
Aries (March 21-April 19):
Your most unusual ideas can lead you somewhere productive today. Daydream yourself to the top of the heap. The less you worry about following the usual rules, the more successful you’ll be. Think outside the box — some really inspired solutions could come to you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
Your associations can help expand your horizons in new directions, offering you a chance to grow. A friend of a friend could connect you to an opportunity in a far-off place, or perhaps a club you’re part of will decide to take a group trip. This could be a breath of fresh air.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
You’re more than willing to defend your position today, Gemini, and it will be worth the effort. You’ve got your eye on the prize. You may need to make an important presentation or submit a project to make it happen, but you could earn quite the windfall. Go prove your worth.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
A relationship could be the catalyst for a bigger change. Rebuild your partnerships from the ground up. Someone could drive you to open up your world view a bit more. Think about whether this person is encouraging you to grow or trying to keep you frozen, causing you to rebel.

Lingering feelings of suspicion or mistrust could pester you today, which could result in you seeing power plays everywhere you look. If a co-worker or client appears to be doing something a little bit off, don’t automatically accuse them of working against you. Approach carefully.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
This is the kind of day when the only possible problem is overdoing it, making this the perfect time to chase after your heart’s desire, preferably with a special someone by your side. Just beware going too far in your pursuit — be careful about dragging anyone along.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
This is a terrific day for tending to domestic matters. This focuses your attention to what’s happening under your own roof. If you’ve been putting off certain chores or necessary tasks, roll up your sleeves and get to work — you’re well-positioned to finish them.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
You can be your most excitable self and wear your heart on your sleeve today, Scorpio. Even if you normally keep your feelings to yourself, it will be a little difficult. People will be inclined to listen to you, so if you’ve got a pitch or message to share, get ready to stand on your soapbox. Your audience is waiting.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
You may experience the need to do some emotional spending today, which could make retail therapy seem like the best way to handle any deeper issues. A little spending here or there is fine as long as you understand it for what it is, but don’t confuse that for an actual solution.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
You don’t need to force anyone to listen to you today. You’ve got plenty to say. Under these conditions, you could get overwhelmed to the point that you in turn overwhelm other people. They’ll be happy to hear you without being coerced, so speak gently.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
You could hit on a lucrative idea today. Turn your attention to your bank account and how well you tend it. A fantasy could result in some inspired ideas that allow you to earn much more. There’s a pot of gold waiting at the end of the rainbow. Take the road less traveled.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
You may encounter a power play or two as you interact with others right now, which could make for a wonderful time to socialize, albeit with one caveat.
