TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
Mars and Neptune form a lucky water sign trine, Mars from the realm of maternal Cancer, and Neptune from psychic Pisces. It may feel as though you can read a person as well as their own mother, or like you are being wisely assessed by someone who cares deeply — maybe even a little too much. Listen anyway. There’s good stuff here.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you meet with resistance, don’t fight. Instead roll with what’s coming your way. Be alert to how you might divert the energy. Listen more carefully. Efficient energy use allows you to make positive change happen.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do you need to conform? No. Impress? Well, it would be nice if they liked you very much for who you already are, and they will, but you do need to get their attention first.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Society seems determined to point out to you how old or young you are. You can go far beyond the limits usually imposed on people your age; it’s just a number. Really.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A project lumbers on. Change your strategy so you can break the finish line faster. Also, being exclusively in control of the thing gets tiresome. Accept input from as many other people as possible.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a way of bringing people down to earth in a good way. Dreams and ambitions are fun to talk about, but nothing comes to fruition without old-fashioned hard work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you don’t yet believe in your ability to accomplish a task, but this will not impede your success. Your willingness to try even though you may be bad at something will attract support and luck.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you get the feeling someone needs help, you offer it. You don’t need to be asked because you’re paying attention. This is the difference between you and everyone you’re around today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Will you look back at this and laugh? Not if you’re not laughing now.
If you’re displeased, instead of enduring it in the hope that the future will bring another perspective, be assertive. Make the change.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Something is conveyed in a believable way, but that does not, in and of itself, make it true. What it indicates is that the source believes it wants you to agree. You’re not so easily convinced.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You don’t expect anyone to fully understand where you’re coming from because you’re dealing with a different set of problems and resources than they are. It will take too long to explain things. Demonstrate instead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Your eyes may be bigger than your wallet. As the 19th-century humorist Artemus Ward said, “Let us all be happy and live within our means, even if we have to borrow the money to do it with.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you think of your relationships, part of you is happy and grateful — part discontented and longing for something more. Malcontent will drive you to get out and meet new people.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. Your deals this year are based in love, especially the love of people. Though you’ll hit certain goals, the numbers matter less than the growth, help and connection that happens through collaborative work. More highlights: a series of magical dates, a winning proposal greenlit and a move. Gemini and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 3, 20, 4 and 7.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Widely regarded as one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, Ray Lewis is also famous for his signature “squirrel dance” celebration — a fan favorite. “With all the things I’ve been through, the number one thing I’ve learned is that we’re supposed to help people through this world.” Lewis was born under a well-rounded balance of astral influences including a hard-working Taurus Sun and an adventurous, passionate Sagittarius Moon.
