HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You felt trapped and now you’ll be released because you have come to understand the situation from a vantage point that shows you all the ins and outs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Going into a new situation is exciting and scary. There’s no amount of forethought that will let you know what you’re getting into.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Much is riding on your decisions. Other people’s lives will be affected, not to mention in some way, however small, the course of history.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve just reached the top of a mountain only to discover there are several more ranges to cross. Don’t lose heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The opportunity to bring your work to a new crowd or to mingle outside of your usual setting is not to be missed. Whether you technically fit or not, you’ll be a smashing success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In life and music, one rhythm is not inherently better than other, rather there are different moods produced by different beats.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You learn a lot about people because you don’t make assumptions. Your listening skills help you deepen a connection.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s a waste to wait for inspiration or motivation. Move even when you are not motivated and you’ll get the same good result as if you had moved when you were.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Trust your instincts. They are creative, accurate and healthy. What you want to do may be difficult but you have the courage to do hard things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you downplay your accomplishments, you’ll insinuate doubt in an otherwise neutral mind. If you praise yourself, it will only annoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your plans cannot be carried out alone. There are two other important players on the team. Take measures to build the morale of these people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get your priorities straight first to avoid wasting time on things that won’t matter to you in the long run.

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY (Jan. 2). You’ve a permanent home in the hearts of others. There’s comfort in this. Feeling loved and safe inspires you to take risks. You’ll get to spend more time with someone you’ve been missing. You’ll have the means to spoil the people you love, and their reactions will be precious. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 4, 14, 44 and 20.
