HOROSCOPES
Your birthday today: Although you already have excellent reasons for doing what you do, this solar return represents a deepening of your purpose. Your pursuits become more meaningful as you commit to seeing change in your world. An August detour brings levity. Your popularity will surge in September. Aquarius and Leo people adore you.
Gemini: May 21-June 21 One of the most profound gifts of technology is that it shows us what it means to be human. When you feel like a machine going through the motions, your humanity will awaken you.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 A subconscious decision process sends your energy where it’s needed, resulting in a shift of mood. Give yourself a break; you’re solving a problem even if you’re not aware that you are.
Leo: July 23-Aug. 22 It’s as if life has an agenda and doesn’t feel like accommodating yours. While it’s often smart to move with life, it would be a shame to let it have its way every time. Fight for what you want.
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Although it may seem that a person has it all figured out, that’s just the outsider’s perspective of the story. Handle your own thing and don’t worry about it.
Libra: Sept. 23-Oct. 23 It’s been scientifically proven that people can hear a smile. In your case, they can feel it through a wall, or a state line, or an ocean away.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 21 Anyone can be interested in a social-media profile; genuine face-to-face interest is a bigger risk, a thrill and where all the good stuff happens today.
Sagittarius: Nov. 22-Dec. 21 You have stories to tell, information to impart and ways to make people laugh. Still, you hold back. You sense it’s more important for you to get the other person talking.
Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Think of all of life as an experiment. If this person’s not right, try that person. If these words don’t work, try those words. The scientist doesn’t take the outcome personally.
Aquarius: Jan. 20-Feb. 18 It’s as if the circus has come to town. There is something exciting to see everywhere you turn. And when you enjoy the show, it gets even better.
Pisces: Feb. 19-March 20 One of the most natural things to wonder about others is, “What do they want from me?” Everyone wants something. If it’s just connection and acceptance they’re after, you’re in a good place.
Aries: March 21-April 19 There is no way to improve except through giving the important task your full attention. Split attention is so ineffective you may as well do nothing at all. Actually, that would be better because at least you’d be relaxing and recharging.
Taurus: April 20-May 20 You enjoy helping people fix what’s wrong. However, this shouldn’t be your default mode. And if it feels wrong not to be solving problems, then that’s an even bigger problem.
