HOROSCOPES
Your birthday today: You’ll build yourself, forming strength through repeated actions. You will get to learn new skills and relearn old ones. Libra and Pisces people adore you.
Gemini: May 21-June 21 The time to give a good long think as to what the rules should be is before the game begins. That’s where you are today. What you establish now will make the difference.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 You will expend emotional labor. You will give gifts, and you’re overflowing with other ways to help people. So, the thing to watch out for is need. Set priorities. Where can you do the most good?
Leo: July 23-Aug. 22 You are a leader in some way. Do you know it fully? You will get clues about this today that you can apply in the weeks to come to help bring the group forward. A vision is coming together.
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 22 The reality is that as hard as you’re working on the agenda you believe is correct, there is another faction working just as hard at an opposite “correct” agenda. How can you outsmart them?
Libra: Sept. 23-Oct. 23 Though experience can make a person wise, it doesn’t always. And there are those who are inexperienced and yet, inexplicably, very wise. An open and curious mind is the key to wisdom.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 21 The nutrients gotten from eating with loved ones goes far beyond actual vitamins and proteins. The shared ritual, the conversation and the bond of eating together fortifies the soul.
Sagittarius: Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Note that people with a lot of skin in the game will go into the playing arena ready to take offense at whatever the opposition has to dish, even if that dish is congeniality and sportsmanship.
Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 19 It’s good salesmanship to close the deal. It’s great salesmanship to build such a strong case that the customer is the one closing it. You will be the second type today.
Aquarius: Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Maybe the aim is impossible, but that doesn’t make the tasks that lead up to it less worthwhile, especially if the thing happens to be a pleasure to work on. Work can be its own reward.
Pisces: Feb. 19-March 20 You learn from people who aren’t afraid of confrontation. It doesn’t always have to end in conflict. Take notes as they head right into the heart of it, ready to communicate and work it out.
Aries: March 21-April 19 You have been thinking of your problem as though it were an uphill slog, but a change has occurred so you can stop that. Now this is a gravitational process: You’re at the top, and your aim is at the bottom. Enjoy the slide.
Taurus: April 20-May 20 In a tight group that functions well, it’s easy to lose track of who gave and got what. This is how it should be and how it will be today; everyone giving what’s easy and affordable for the betterment of the group.
