WEEKENDER HOROSCOPES
The moon and Mars align in Gemini to favor followthrough for social instincts, the forecasting or following of trends and fortuitous feats of networking. We stop taking ourselves so seriously. We’re emboldened to rise above petty concerns of image and eschew individualistic preferences for the sake of participating in the culture around us.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just like in the movies, someone (or some big event) will come along to disrupt the status quo. This “inciting incident” is how the story kicks off. There will be a clear delineation between “before” and “after.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Over-familiarity is not good for relationships. When common courtesies go out the window it’s a signal to distance yourself. How far should you step back? You need enough space to build a mystery.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll enjoy learning the needs, interests, beliefs and values of others. You’ll grow in influence as you try to get to know the people involved in making decisions that affect your life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do not fear tomorrow. Stop perseverating about what might happen because it robs you of the only moment you truly have and will ever have: this one. Now is the moment of your being. Right here, right now, this is the one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you feel happy, comfortable and fun, the energy you radiate puts everyone around you in a better mood. Sure, for some the difference will be so slight it’s undetectable, and yet, at the same time, undeniable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The right focus will be crucial to your success. This is no time to experiment and stretch. Start with what you already feel drawn to do and it will be much easier to add the skills, knowledge and practice necessary to be great.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Friendships have arcs just like every other kind of relationship and are in danger of falling into a rut unless efforts are made to keep things fresh and interesting. You’ll sprinkle excitement into the mix.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though what you are experiencing is not uncommon, the way you experience it is totally unique. No one approaches this quite like you, nor do they feel it in the exact same way. Honor your process by recording it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Is it so wrong to dream of the ideal even though you know it will never be found in an imperfect reality? If it is, then all the great leaders, thinkers and doers have been wrong. It takes a vision, and that’s exactly what you have.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Nothing motivates like desire. You’ll assess your relationships, your routines and even your thought patterns as you’re determined to get everything in line with the new thing you want.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
What you do makes perfect sense to you, not to them. How could they possibly understand when they haven’t experienced anything in the realm? Their puzzlement is natural, though you don’t owe anyone an explanation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The secret to being worry-free is to occupy your mind with something it likes so much that there is no room for anything else. What do you want to happen? Multiply it by two and keep imagining that as you head in the direction.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. Take a chance on yourself. Brilliance can begin with a craving, some dumb silliness, an urge for creative wilding or far-out dreaming. Trust that you’re onto something! An investment or training will pay you back at the turn of the season. More highlights: fortuitous friendship, group travel and romantic notions made real. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 8, 11, 33 and 25.
Your gut instinct is a primal part of you that’s remained true to its ancient origins. It serves the same function, the same way as it did for your prehistoric ancestors. This sensory system hasn’t evolved to debate and doubt itself, and for this reason you can trust it to give you information more pure than intellectual knowledge tends to be.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The reason for the endeavor of the day is best summed up in four words: It’s in your blood. You come by this particular drive honestly. In fact, it would be harder to resist than it is to follow through.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Cleaning a closet is like a trip to the museum filled with artifacts of historical meaning and aesthetic value, if not practical use. How (and whether!) to keep them all — that is the vexing question.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t be surprised if practical concerns take a back seat to what you really want. Desire disassembles
your powers of prioritization. An unconscious part of you that’s much stronger than reason emerges to handle matters.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The plot twists; the action ramps up; and you rise to the occasion, doing what the situation calls for. Don’t be afraid of conflict. It will lift the energy like spice lifts the flavor of food.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re interested in people. You want to find out what they’re into, what they think about life and what their experience has been. People enjoy being around you because they feel seen and heard. They feel important.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Smart and funny — the characteristic combination of your favorite company. Those who bring humor to your world are the treasures of your day; your laughter is a celebration of them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been working on the same problem, but you’re ready for a new approach. Instead of
treating the symptoms, you’ll go right to the source of the issue. An earth sign (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) will be part of the remedy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You remain optimistic even when others aren’t. You’ll renew this optimism through the rituals you create and repeat. If you don’t already have a sanctuary to call your own, you’ll create one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No matter how life-changing a decision may seem, make it quick. Taking a lot of time for a decision won’t make it go any better and will in fact cause you to doubt your gut instinct, which is the purest one you have.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve a talent for creating a picture in the mind of others. Your stories and descriptions will be like impressionistic paintings, giving the hint of basic forms and highlighting all the main colors without going into too much detail.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Don’t fall into the trap of doing too much, which ultimately causes digression. Undoing or redoing will only waste precious time. Thought for the day: Sometimes it’s enough to just be there.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’d rather own fewer things at a higher value than lay claim to heaps of mediocrity. The problem is, some junk tries to pass as high-quality. Be sure to look at things in a different light before you buy them. Also, keep receipts.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. Finally, you’ll obtain the material symbol of status and/or security you’ve long worked toward. It’s meaningful, mostly in that it lets you relax and enjoy your relationships. Love will come in many forms including friendly devotion, community, delight in family and a reverence for an animating universal force. Gemini and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 40, 3 and 16.
