HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The unconventional wisdom is that unconventional wisdom doesn’t exist. If a thing works, it works for many other people, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Come up with a name for the feeling you’re having — something all yours, to encompass both the sweeping scope and the minute specificity of the emotion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are different definitions for the word pride, some focusing on a feeling of self-respect and worthiness and others focusing on a feeling of superiority and conceit.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A return to merriness will have to do with letting go of a few things, especially things that won’t matter in a week or even tomorrow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Go on and make your rules, and then try to follow them. One a day is enough at first. Establish habits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Every day, you tolerate people who have different values, styles and preferences. Usually, it’s not a problem, but it still takes self-control to live and let live.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To be correct and to have the approval of those who recognize this can be a very stable sort of feeling, but it’s even more stabilizing to know that whether or not you’re correct and accepted, you’re just fine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The attempt to achieve security is silly, really — considering we live in the timespan of a blink on a spinning sphere hurtling through a vast universe.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The biggest obstacle to your happiness is the simple fact that you’re not allowing it. So give yourself permission.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Questions open options and keep you in loops of thought, but thinking doesn’t always bring more clarity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). It takes a strong person to acknowledge human vulnerabilities. A weaker person puffs up to compensate for limitations shared by most others on the planet.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some relationships are so transactional it doesn’t matter who is on the other end; it could be a robot or a unicorn and make no difference.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 23). Passion will be tempered by companionship and support. Leo adores you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 33, 1, 17 and 20.
