HOROSCOPES THE FAMILY CIRCUS
Aries (March 21-April 19). Perhaps life is always an improvisation, though on days like today, when you know what’s coming next, it feels like more of a scripted play. A
Taurus (April 20-May 20). You want to speak love, but it doesn’t always come out as compassionate as you’d like. Gemini (May 21-June 21). You are not facing any major decisions now, so don’t be fooled by the minor ones. Without healthy perspective, small things can get very big indeed. Matters of scale are solved through the lens of other people.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). While it’s fun to dream about your ideal future, you are also well-aware of the fact that there is no such thing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Conversation takes you to a new level of understanding as you tune in to the subtle manner in which certain things are said and make guesses as to the meaning. Your takeaway is golden.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one is making you jump through hoops to earn your place in the world, though you may find yourself doing this anyway – a force of habit born of a belief that you must work to be deserving of life’s bounty. Is that really true?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What makes the machine work perfectly? Having the right parts and them being wellaligned.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Drop the struggle. You can afford to do it! In fact, maybe you can’t afford not to, considering this mental thrashing around wastes a lot of energy and accomplishes nothing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are willing to accept a person’s suffering with compassion and kindness, and you are open to doing whatever you can to assist. Do not, however, share in it. Protect and care for yourself.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Decisions seem daunting as you sense that even the small choices will be life-altering. Instead of yes and no, it may help you to think in terms of what you feel available to.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You think you know why people like you, but you’re a little off, overestimating the importance of some aspects of your package and totally missing others. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). The difference between a showoff and a showman is intent.
Today’s birthday (Feb. 3). When there’s a chance to make things happen for the people you love, you’re relentless. This year, you’ll apply the same intensity to realizing your vision for yourself. You’ll build your days on healthy basics. Virgo and Cancer adore you. Your lucky num- bers are: 4, 28, 9, 44 and 6.
