WEEKENDER HOROSCOPES
Mercury, the minister of communication, enters Scorpio, the realm of mystery, deep truth and transformation. The drive will be to dig into a deeper sense of reality and to find out not just how things really are, but why they are that way. To find out what’s real about a situation can be a reward and a liberation. Even so, the wise will dig carefully.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). People are more fragile than they look. Egos will flare, only because they are tender and don’t like to be challenged. When people posture and assert themselves, go the opposite way. A gentle approach fosters connection.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are instances in which you will feel invisible, and that’s not a bad thing. What you accomplish when you think no one is paying too much attention is pure, creative and original. Take advantage of your freedom.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In general, small groups get things done faster, although the most productive group size is dictated by the project itself. How many do you need to handle the workload?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s wonderful to understand and be understood, but you can still be loved in an atmosphere of low comprehension. You can love someone you don’t communicate well with. You can love someone you don’t really get.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll follow the rules to some extent. And when you escape to the lawless lands, you’ll still follow the rules that matter, though it will also be clear to you which ones don’t. Wildness has its own rubric.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While others jump on opportunities, you stand back and watch, holding out for the thing you really want. Maybe you don’t have a solid definition for it, but you’ll know it when you see it and it’s well worth the wait.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What matters more than the details of the action is the way you think of things, how you mentally frame a situation, your approach and your story about it. Your imagination is the philosopher’s stone that turns lead into gold.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You normally don’t worry yourself about what others think of you, but in today’s situation, a stellar impression will make the difference between winning or losing. Ask for feedback.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Enthusiasm is the nectar of the gods. It’s the honey that animates your world. To be merely fine with your choices feels like a cop-out. You want to love them! So, what needs to change to let in the excitement and joy?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Accept a flaw, ignore it or try to change it — all fine options. Do whatever helps you move quickly on. The issue will soon seem entirely inconsequential, as much bigger and more interesting things are coming.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll treasure the sweetness of a successful moment — a moment of connection, of being playful and involved. You won’t even think to stop and commemorate the action with your phone because you’re too busy enjoying it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve the strong mental focus needed to get the job done and to attract the results you’ve set your mind on. Though you’re handling a lot, your attitude is mellow and even. It’s a mood that’s conducive to your longterm success.
The plans you make have a spark of genius — so appealing that others drop their own to adopt yours. Everyone wants an interesting experience, and you have a way of making things lucrative, fun and filled with purpose. More highlights: a letter opening new horizons, the money for a whim and an amazing feat of willpower. Pisces and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 40, 13, 7 and 18.
