WEEKENDER HOROSCOPES

Do you know what it’s like to think and think on matters until action seems unwise? Overthinking is a seductive brand of procrastination, as it masquerades as intelligence. It’s not. Trust the body’s intelligence and intuition during this Mercury-Uranus opposition. Move quickly without rushing, thoughtfully without ruminating.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A cluster of thoughts will pay you a visit. This group is led by the one called “if only.” Make it a quick visit. Hear them out; accept the nugget of wisdom they offer your future; and then send those thoughts along their merry way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Those who share your basic values will agree there is no good reason to hear harsh criticism or endure arguments. You fit in with people as secure and optimistic as you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Casual descriptions, off-handed remarks and other subtext cues will mean more than intended and could change people’s perceptions. Saying nothing at all is a safe bet!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll initiate the party and youknow-who will block the idea like it’s their job to do so. You’re both, in a sense, playing a role. A compromise will be struck, better than the original idea.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll make decisions or take actions that affect others. Keeping them involved (or at least informed and somewhat tended to) will help ensure they feel the process is fair.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The weightlifter stays strong by lifting what’s heavy. Do what’s in front of you and your “muscles” — whether intellectual, emotional or physical — will grow to handle the task.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Forgotten details (a name, a password, a route) only go missing because you’ve accomplished hundreds of things since. Keeping better records along the way will free you of having to backtrack later.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Of all the things you collect, friends are the most valuable, and the effort it takes for their acquisition and maintenance reflects this value. The best things always require work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are not easily manipulated, and yet you’ll go with the group opinion on matters that don’t matter. You know you won’t win every battle, so you prefer to only focus on the big ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You behave differently in your various roles, but your values remain the same in every context. It will feel strange to let work people get to know you personally and vice versa, but this adds dimension.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you need doesn’t exist yet. Its elements do, but someone has yet to bring them together. The blueprint can be found in the future. Ask futureyou to hand it over via the medium of imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is no accurate light to see things in. Whether you like it bright and dramatic, gritty and granular, or soft and blurry, you’ll set your inner lens according to your preferred view.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. The harmony in your personal life lets you focus on gaining skill and furthering professional goals. The ones you teach will make you proud. Love whisks you to new states of mind and/or foreign lands. Your plans change because you want to be near someone. Invest in February; recoup abundantly in August. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 9, 7, 20 and 31.

The answer is very simple but executing it requires time and focus, both of which might be tied up. Where is the time being used? We must go to that place and reroute. Where is the energy expended, and how can we redirect it to what we want? Resources may be very easily freed once we recognize how they are currently being used.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re learning something new. See yourself as proficient in this process. Visualize yourself on a stage doing the thing. The audience perspective will be your success key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll lead with civility, although your manners may fall into combat with other forces such as power dynamics, rivalries, the need for justice or the responsibility to protect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It takes confidence to make the first move, and you’ll be lucky when you do. People will return your calls, respond to your warmth, and include and invite you. You’ll be appreciated.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The ones who can’t see how skilled you are simply aren’t experienced enough to recognize it. There are many who will understand what you’re doing; you just have to find the right circles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You make things happen by believing they will. Your expectation creates a way. Share your hopes. The more believers there are, the more ways there will be to make those beliefs come true.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The success of your day will depend on what you do but, more specifically, the order in which you do them. The best order is: First, things you don’t want to do. Second, whatever you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As far as attention goes, you’re pretty low-maintenance lately. Hopefully, it won’t bother you to be the center of the action tonight — it’s just your turn, is all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life is an adventure, though you can’t always perceive it that way, especially when you’re in a comfortable phase of repetitive life. A pattern interruption is needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Changes are coming. These are not the sort that need you to make a decision, so you can relax. The skill to hone now is one of acceptance, with an attitude of gratitude.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll meet a potential friend — a true kindred who requires you to be no other than who you are. You won’t need to promote yourself or put on any kind of affectation. You’re perfect “as is.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll observe others without judging them. It’s saintly behavior, but that’s not why you do it. Nonjudgment allows you to see and know more about the way things really are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The ancient Egyptians believed everything was alive, including the rocks and rivers. You’ll relate to the world as though this is true, communicating with all you come across.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. What you want is well-aligned with what the world needs. This year, you will be like the moon, reflecting the glow of others back to them and influencing wherever you are without having to force or even touch an agenda. You will move and glow up your world by simply obeying your own nature. Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 1, 11 and 17.
