HOROSCOPES

Your birthday today:

You are a terrific friend, and you will enjoy that quality in others, too. Different sorts of endeavors (financial, adventurous, passionate and more) will begin as platonic ties. You’re ready for the opportunity that comes up in July, though you may not feel it. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you.

Pisces: Feb. 19-March 20 You don’t need to give a TED Talk to prove your relevance. You’ll influence through example and becomethe person others will want to be like.

Aries: March 21-April 19 The mystery will find you. It will pique your interest enough to start questions. There’s nothing so satisfying today as a satisfied curiosity.

Taurus: April 20-May 20 When you’re moving fast, it’s easy to forget to put things back where they belong. Time is wasted looking for things. Simple solution: Slow down!

Gemini: May 21-June 21 People reach out for various reasons, hardly ever the ones presented. Look deeper for the need within the need. This is what comes with being born a complex creature, although who knows the woes of algae?

Cancer: June 22-July 22 There’s a difference between dominance and superiority. Those who understand this will not take their power for granted. Power is always a cycle; act accordingly.

Leo: July 23-Aug. 22 There’s no evidence that the thing exists, but there’s something affecting you, and you’ll have plenty of theories about this contributing factor to your current reality.

Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 22 You can’t improve a thing from the same mindset from which you created it. You have to grow beyond it to see how you could next-level it.

Libra: Sept. 23-Oct. 23 The heart wants what the heart wants. That doesn’t make it healthy, appropriate, logical or in any way good for everyone involved. Hearts aren’t the be-all and end-all wisdom. It’s better when all systems work together.

Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 21 Carry out your promises to yourself. These are the hardest promises to keep because often they’re made in secret, but they’re the most important promises to keep.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22-Dec. 21 The way to get out of a funk is simple (spiritual generosity), but it’s something that people in a funk don’t usually think about. That’s why you should keep instructions and answers on hand for when you need them.

Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Calm confidence is your usual manner, but things will come up today to throw you off your game. Take back the power. Speak gentle words, but speak them with your signature authority.

Aquarius: Jan. 20-Feb. 18 It is nearly impossible to have polite conversation these days, as even the weather can be a polarizing topic. Decide you want to connect with others, making tolerance your fallback position, and you’ll do the impossible.
