HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

You could feel sensitive about how the world sees you. This can affect your willingness to get together with others, even in a way that would be good. While your insecurities might stem from valid experiences, times have changed since then. Let people know how you’re feeling.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

A relationship is potentially being held back by old hurts. The other person might be eager to move forward. You could need to talk through your wounds to restore your sense of security. Hold people accountable, but don’t hold them to expectations that are unrealistic.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

People in your social network may seem overly touchy at the moment. As much as you might feel sympathetic toward them, feeling like you can’t do anything right might irritate you. Think about the boundaries of your responsibilities — you’re holding on to guilt for things that aren’t your fault.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

A hobby could take a serious turn at any moment. Criticism from an authority figure might make your passion project less fun. Maybe this is the motivation you need to decide what your goal is: perfection or pleasure? Knowing your purpose should help you shape your efforts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Pure relaxation could be a challenge. While you might be inclined to reflect on a problem, being contemplative without getting upset may feel difficult. A sense of obligation to be constantly productive is probably working against you. Do whatever feels comfortable without guilt.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Saying something in a way that doesn’t offend anyone might be a high priority for you. That said, if you veer too far from your original intentions in an effort to be nice, you run the risk of confusing the person you’re talking to. Speaking with clarity should help you avoid potential issues.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Making a special purchase could be really exciting. Even so, someone close to you may not understand. They might even say something negative or hurtful. While their reaction can spoil your pleasure, maybe this provocation is a good opportunity to reflect on the boundaries you have with them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You might be stuck with a responsibility you think is beneath you. The task may feel easier with a positive attitude, but a snotty comment someone else made could be stuck playing in your head. While that person was out of line, accepting reality will at least get your job done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You might feel a genuine curiosity about something forbidden today. Perhaps you were told in childhood not to look into this topic, leaving you with a lasting fear. Just appreciating how your circumstances have changed over time can help you move forward in a balanced way.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Your attitude toward a friend group could be drifting in a manipulative direction. Perhaps others are looking to have a lighthearted good time, while you’re hoping to address your deeper identity needs. Wanting different things doesn’t mean anyone did anything wrong.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Wounding others with your words is dangerously possible. The harder you try to handle power dynamics, the more likely your hidden anger is to slip out. Although you may fear you won’t be taken seriously if you ask for what you want, that’s your best chance to stay out of trouble.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Your finances may be struggling to keep up with your desires. The problem might be identifying which longings are truly yours. Perhaps peer pressure, real or perceived, is pulling you toward activities more extravagant than you’d pick. Going your own way would be good for you.
