HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Suffering, the impermanence of life, the absence of self are unavoidable in the process of spiritual evolution.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): If the fit is good, count your blessings. If it’s not, don’t worry about it or take it personally.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): The good old days weren’t all that good, and the ideal future won’t be either. But living a little while back there or up ahead can be mighty helpful in the construction of a present you can really appreciate.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): People who are always busy are either bad at time management or afraid of what will come up if they relax. Dare to surrender to idleness. Ultimately, the best ideas come at this time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): On this very social day, have a few conversational topics in your pocket before you go out. Or at least get clear on the subjects to avoid at all costs, including past relationships, politics, finance and religion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When a need is filled that you didn’t even know you had ... that’s magic.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Don’t waste time wondering whether you are the right person for the job. You are.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’re like the lightning in the storm: a powerful force at the center of the action.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Today the fast boomerang of karma will delight you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Arguing isn’t impressive. Listening and understanding are rare and true.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today you’re better off using the bowling method. Aim forward; let go; and see what kind of points you can score.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Abstract goals lead to abstract results. That can be beautiful, like abstract art, though many people won’t understand the appeal.

Today’s birthday (July 28): Your full attention is the magic ingredient for success. You’ll apply your heart, mind and soul to the small acts, and great things will come of that this year. Next month, what’s right won’t be easy, and what’s easy won’t be right, but you’ll do right and win. There’s a windfall in December. June features exotic locations. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 39, 22, 28 and 16.
