Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21April 19). Someone is behaving in a way you don’t understand.

Consider that this person may be complying with needs and desires that are not obvious to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The stoics focus on temptations resisted, passions opposed and infirmities mastered. Not fun. When you want something that’s good for you, all of those things happen naturally as you focus on your wholesome desire.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The path to fulfilled wishes is littered with practical impediments, barriers of psychological resistance and other annoying limits to contend with, all of which you will rise up and over.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be careful not to equate rest with laziness. They are not the same thing. Laziness is a decision to underachieve. It’s driven by fear. Rest is a necessary part of achievement’s cycle, driven by nature’s maintenance system.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your sign-mate Andy Warhol claimed to be a “deeply superficial person.” You’ll relate as you bring a solemn level of attention to what some might consider a trivial matter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s easier for some people (perhaps most people) to say yes than it is to say no. Consider the first yes a false answer. And gently press further into the conversation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you can’t do anything about it, then it’s not a problem. Rather, it’s a circumstance. Deal with problems, and the circumstances may or may not change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve a secret that helps you move through events with grace, and the secret is this: Change itself doesn’t hurt. What hurts is our resistance to change. We can always choose not to resist.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Clearly defined relationships make everything go smoothly and according to plan. The trouble is that the more intimate is a relationship, the harder it is to define. And with the closest relationships, definitions are practically absurd.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The upside of frustration is that it shows you exactly what’s not working and to what extent. The level of frustration you feel directly corresponds to how far off the mark the situation is from your expectation of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Imagined problems can have as much impact (if not more) as real problems can have. The good part about imagined problems is that they can be solved the instant you change your mind about them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To you, your project is a project. But to someone else it might be a learning opportunity, a social experiment, a way of gaining leverage in a situation or a game. Be aware of what everyone is getting out of the situation.
