HOROSCOPE

ARIES ( March 19- April 18): Are you and a creative collaborator getting anywhere or are you just bouncing ideas off of each other? It’s time to set goals and deadlines and to meet them. TAURUS ( April 19- May 19): Being pushed out of your comfort zone is meant to be uncomfortable. Nobody achieved anything great by grabbing what’s in easy reach. GEMINI ( May 20- June 19): Focus less on the exit plan, more on what you have to work with, and you’ll escape your dilemma. CANCER ( June 20- July 21): In the old days when a castle was besieged they’d drain the moat, pull up the drawbridge, and wait things out. Not a bad idea given your present circumstances. LEO ( July 22- Aug. 21): You’re not exactly sold on a loved one turning over a new leaf, but it’s Fall and foliage has been known to change.

VIRGO ( Aug. 22- Sept. 21): Someone who helped you out once now asks you to return the favor. Do it without hesitation because you’ll be glad you did. LIBRA ( Sept. 22- Oct. 21): It’s funny how something that started out with a bang ends with barely a whimper. SCORPIO ( Oct. 22- Nov. 20): You feel bedeviled by circumstances because they’re not lining up the way you want them to yet sometimes the only way to get back on track is by coming up against walls and dead- ends. SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 21- Dec. 20): Horses often balk when they can’t see what’s on the other side of an obstacle. Yet the only way to clear that hurdle is to stop avoiding it and take a leap into the unknown.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 21- Jan. 19): A commitment weighs heavily on you, but since there’s no getting out of it you might as well give it your best shot. You may just surprise yourself. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 17): You’ve often felt discouraged being surrounded by lesser lights. That’s why it’s so enlightening to see them grow more luminous today. PISCES ( Feb. 18- March 18): If you always take the easy way out then you will never build the muscles needed to go the distance. Think of it as Saturn Life Lesson # 461.
