HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): It really is powerful to know and gravitate toward happiness and all of its fortifications.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): While you like a good mystery, you also note that there’s a difference between a mystery and a vat of confusion. Vats of confusion are toxic.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Remember that you are equally entitled to living a good life as anyone you may be employed by or obligated to serve.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll be in a position to create a system of doing things. It starts with you figuring things out for yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): As you’ve already done a certain kind of work, you can appreciate what it takes for another person to do the same job.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Humor is a shortcut to connection. To make a person honestly laugh, or even just smile a little, is to skip 10 steps toward rapport.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It’s a strange day when you actually sustain a high level of productivity by doing very little. This has to do with knowing when to be quiet and when to let people fill in the blanks.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): If you steer away from dramatic situations, you’ll still have enough conflict to keep things interesting.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You have been touched by the efforts of people you don’t know, but you don’t have to have a personal interaction to derive meaning and to get real value from someone’s work.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Unnecessary redundancies are boring and cumbersome. You’ll get rid of something like this today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will learn so much about people today by observing what they default to.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The robin’s song may sound sweet to us and to other robins, but it’s not even close to the sort of honk that a goose prefers.

Today’s birthday (Dec. 1): Each solar return you become wiser, more loving and more powerful. Some years this happens in a natural, easy f low. This year, it’s more of a rocket ride where you get out in an entirely different world from the one you started in. Also featured: a key aesthetic choice, a memorable celebration and a career twist. Cancer and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 13, 25, 1 and 11.
