HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Being different from your peers could be hard on you. You might feel attacked by questions about why your life choices haven’t followed the expected norms in some way. Your internal doubts could be darkening your perspective — people may not judge you as you may fear.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Deciding how to handle an opportunity for professional change could be challenging. Seeking advice from friends may help. Their perspective isn’t omniscient, but it won’t have your set of limits. They’ll probably be excited for you to have a chance to express yourself more creatively. Choose pros and cons you can live with.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Toeing the line may be a doomed effort for you now. Your mind is likely stimulated with ideas. You could feel as though you should keep your thoughts to yourself. You could be seen as disruptive. If you’re going to get in trouble anyway, you might as well make the most of it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

You may reach important insights about intense matters at any moment, ones you’re potentially eager to share with your friends. However, they might not know what to do with this information. Don’t stretch the truth if it doesn’t fit the mold.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

A close relationship could give you the stimulation you crave. You may enjoy revealing personal things you usually keep to yourself although you might also be nervous about the rest of your social network seeing this side of you. You’re probably not as closely watched as you fear.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Chasing innovative ideas about health matters could keep you mentally engaged today. But you need to be careful whose perspective you listen to. While you may be inclined to trust a person with whom you have a relationship, there’s a risk of that closeness being used against you. Others may not have your best interests at heart.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

A good joke of yours could cut deeper than expected. Perhaps finding the humor in a stressful situation seems like the best way to deal with it. Laughter doesn’t mean ignoring reality. Focus on identifying the heart of the issue rather than fussing over the details.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You can get what you want at home if you ask for it — only to discover that a long-sought “yes” might be more difficult for you to deal with than an expected “no.” When you’re suddenly in the power seat, be specific about any changes you’d like to enact.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Understanding your territory could be a challenge. Expanding your circle of care and concern further than usual may satisfy your ideals. Regardless of your intentions, any pushback you receive needs to be fully heard before it escalates into a larger conflict.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Your ego is likely hungry for validation at the moment — no matter what it costs. People looking to take advantage of you might pick up on this and try to flatter you out of your money. You can prevent such a situation from unfolding by proactively taking action that makes you feel good about yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Unsnarling a family ruckus could require your keen insight. It may seem easy to identify the heroes and the villains — and dole out justice accordingly. However, don’t assume everyone values the same things you do. Look at what each person is actually trying to achieve.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Saying something shocking will probably be hard to resist today. You realize that whatever you have to reveal will cause a stir. Although you may try to evade responsibility this creates, the impact on people close to you might be hard to hide.
