HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Feeling good about yourself could be a challenge. Maybe your body isn’t what you want it to be, and you’re considering changes your habits. Although you’re on the right track, understanding the deeper philosophy behind your update can help you get the most out of it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Expressing yourself could feel threatening. You may be concerned that saying your piece will cause something you’re ashamed of to rise to the surface. Is that such a bad thing? Separating out the different factors in the situation can give you more room to decide which ones you’re comfortable exploring.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

A reference to your background or upbringing may offend you very soon. That doesn’t necessarily have to be the end of your relationship with the person who brought it up. You may be able to talk things out and wind up with a deeper bond. Give them a chance to make things right.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Working alone is probably the best use of your time today. Snapping at anyone else who doesn’t live up to your high standards may be dangerously easy, especially if you’re not totally confident in your own performance. That’s your personal issue though, so try to leave others out of it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Having fun could be a little complicated at the moment. Having the selfworth to embrace your true desires could actually make you charismatic enough to win over any haters. Plus, whether or not it does, you probably won’t notice while you’re having a good time.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

There’s no need to be ashamed of wanting to feel good. Your efforts to have a good time might be halfhearted if you believe your desires are wrong. Whether your inhibitions stem from physical concerns or fears of waste, look closely at whether holding yourself back actually makes things better.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You may suspect that a peer is hiding something from you. This secrecy could create an awkward atmosphere. While you can’t control what the other person shares, you can do your best to make yourself a safe person to talk to. It takes courage to disappoint people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Opening up to friends about a symptom you’ve been experiencing could be worth the trouble. They may have some helpful ideas for what would make you feel better. However, not all crowdsourced tips are valid. Don’t agree to pursue a plan you know won’t be a good fit.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sharing your side of a story is a worthy pursuit. The thing that could hold back your self-expression is your fear of upsetting an authority figure. Ask yourself if you’re reading the rules as more restrictive than they are. Respond to the actual limits, not the ones in your head.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Dreams may now show you important information. If you’ve been struggling to understand some aspects of your background, make an effort to release your expectation that everything needs to make sense. Try letting things unfold on their own, and put the pieces together after that.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Your social life could be heating up. Unfortunately, in the heat, someone else’s curiosity might wander towards a topic you’re sensitive about. Although you don’t have to share anything you don’t want to, you also don’t have to snap at others. Make an effort to deflect kindly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Financial issues might be weighing on a close relationship of yours. If you felt like you were being taken seriously outside of the financial issues, would you still be interested in throwing your weight around with money? Focus on solving the real problems between the two of you.
