HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To bring full attention to dressing, eating, walking and the rest is a form of meditation. It’s almost impossible to execute, but you’ll learn something.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not looking for love, but love is looking for you, and it will finally make eye contact this afternoon. The attention will trigger contradictory emotions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to learn, but you don’t like the feeling of being managed by an authority figure. This is about baggage.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People fit together for reasons other than can be seen on the surface. You will witness a companionship that may seem superficially odd, but it works.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your optimism will be naturally buoyed by smiling faces around you. You may find yourself looking forward to the simplest of tasks like something wonderful is going to happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Family ties are complex and infuriating and imbued with all the necessary ingredients for your soul’s evolution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What seems from the outside to be a normal little scene will read as something very different to you, as it perfectly illustrates a feeling from way back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The person who harbors resentment becomes a slave to the one he has contempt for and is essentially consumed with the angry focus that resentment demands.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The destination is still far off. To sweeten your sense of anticipation and keep you headed in the right direction, assign checkpoints.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). As for those skills you so want to possess that don’t come naturally to you — they didn’t come naturally to the masters you admire so much, either.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). When you come into the scene, you come to run it. This requires that you think ahead so that you’re in a proactive position.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve tried and failed to communicate. Why didn’t it work? Maybe the problem isn’t you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21). Big love is coming your way in January. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 20, 14, 33 and 1.
