Aries (March 21-April 19): Though of course you want to succeed, there’s a down side to knocking it out of the park. It sets up a future expectatio­n that you may or may not want to live up to. Think carefully before you set a precedent. Taurus (April 20-May 20): To avoid wasted effort, get more clarity around what you’re attempting to do. Improved communicat­ion will be key and this includes communicat­ing with your own feelings and instincts. Gemini (May 21-June 21): All will be enhanced by social connection­s. Instead of connecting with people haphazardl­y when it’s convenient or when there’s a pressing and obvious need, create a structure that will allow you to engage others often. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Though the result of someone’s efforts to impress you may not have the impact on your psyche that was intended, it will still feel pretty flattering to know you’re the cause of such a fuss. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Time is the currency of productivi­ty. How you manage yours today will be the difference between a hit and a miss. You’ve a strong instinct for what’s important. All you have to do is honor it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll clear up a misunderst­anding within seconds, as long as you are aware that there is one. Go over recent communicat­ion. Check in to make sure that you’ve heard and have been heard correctly. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Whether winning or losing, for those who are in the battle, life is about fighting. The real victors today will be the ones who forgo the fight in favor of finding something to agree on and accomplish together. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Rituals are a way of symbolical­ly processing life so you can realistica­lly process it with greater ease. A ritual you create to help you move past your sticking point will be most effective, resonating deeply to free you. Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Exaggerate­d fears can cause social discomfort. It doesn’t have to be this way, though you may have to make a few mistakes first to understand that it’s not that big of a deal to flub here and there. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When you provide people with reasons to accept you, you’ll earn acceptance but feel nothing. If you don’t make any effort and are accepted anyway, you’ll feel loved. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Don’t waste the day by trying to prolong it. Efficiency will be the enemy of passion. Burn the hours in exciting, pointless ways and you’ll make lasting memories, too. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Chances are that you are imagining a risk as much greater than it really is. You are, in a sense, “elevating the plank” that you’d theoretica­lly walk were you to be punished. There is no plank, really, just an optional diving board.
