HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): What’s required of you is basically attendance. Show up.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You don’t have to worry about being original or saying something novel or turning in unique work.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): It might feel as if you’re loafing off, but you’re not. There’s great, if intangible, value in these interests.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Be careful not to attribute special qualities to people just because they happen to be attractive.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s wonderful to understand and be understood, but it’s not necessary to love.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take advantage of the freedom and creativity that come when nobody is paying close attention.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Be gentle with the people in your life, as there is probably more ego on the line today than is readily apparent.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Oftentimes the most influential and positive thing you can do for mankind isn’t grand at all; it is small.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When you’re ready for unpredictable stressors, they will seem far less stressful to you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In solving the problem, there’s more than relief; there’s reward too.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ending up where you started can be wonderful if you traveled like Dorothy down the yellow brick road. It’s terrible if you never left.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Small groups will get things done — faster than you could do them alone and much faster than a large group could do them.

Today’s birthday (June 24): You will involve yourself with many efforts to lift the lives of strangers and lend support to people who will definitely be better for your care. For the rest of 2018, what you know or believe won’t be half as important as what you do. A financial and/ or artistic risk pays off in January. Love comes full circle in February. Libra and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 1, 14 and 27.
