HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The assumption that others are happy leads to wondering why you’re not. Lose the whole idea that there’s a baseline for happiness you’re not meeting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Realizing that there’s more work to be done can feel like a letdown, though it’s actually a sign of progress that leaves room for fine-tuning.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Accolades often lead to more opportunities, though being awarded can also bring pressure. You like it best when the award and achievement are the same.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

People who travel often are usually either getting paid to do it or they’ve made travel a priority in their lives. You want to see new places.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Part of you is having a personal experience, while simultaneously another part of you is dealing with the personal experience you are having.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There are meaningful victories to be had, and there are also battles unworthy of you. As for the war raging on today, it will continue pretty much the same with or without you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your worries have been essentially the same for years, an indicator that the usual problem-solving techniques haven’t worked.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Who should get your time: the one who needs it most? The highest bidder? The one who’s the most fun? To vacillate only wastes the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21).

No one can disentangle pain from a meaningful life. Living purposefully will be complicated at times, simple at others and nuanced with joy, beauty, difficulty and relief.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19).

The timing of things would be silly to argue with. The world isn’t running late or early. Go with what’s happening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

There will be freedom in a pen. Write down all of the things that have been bugging you, exciting you or draining you, and you will become lighter.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

However wrong or right you may be about who you think you are, that’s the lens through which you see the world.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 8).

Accept the praise and celebration heaped on you. Scorpio and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 22, 19, 38 and 50.
