HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): It would be wonderful to shake off your responsibilities and go play with your friends all day, but it looks like work is going to call no matter what. An unexpected expense might come up, so try to keep on top of your spending; if something seems like a bad idea, it probably is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You can color outside the lines today, but that doesn’t mean you should just scribble all over. Some VIPs or superiors currently have their eye on you, and if you show off too much or too wildly, they might view your originality in a negative light. Whatever you do, stay authentically you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): It will feel like the universe is pulling you in two directions today. If anyone can handle this kind of dichotomy, it would be you. If anyone tries to boss you around, then tell them you need your time and space. Don’t worry about living up to anyone’s expectations except for your own.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Someone might push your buttons today. In fact, it looks as though this certain button-pusher could be close to you, from within your own social group. If a friend has trouble respecting personal boundaries, maybe they just need to be reminded.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Be careful about flexing your muscles on the professional front today. An opportunity might appear out of the blue, but don’t jump headfirst into anything before you’ve had the chance to fully examine the issue in front of you. Maybe you’re missing something. Take your time. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You generally tend to be one of the most responsible signs of the zodiac, but today, something might happen that makes you want to shake off any and all responsibilities and spend your time indulging on a mental and spiritual level. Immerse yourself in a good book or film. The world is calling your name.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Show off your skills today, whatever that might mean to you. Do you like to write? Start a fresh page. Like to draw? Start a new picture. You’ve got a lot of talent and an innate eye for what looks good. There’s no need to worry about the end result right now — today, it’s about the journey.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stay close to home today if you can because it looks like the world is going to be treating you like a pinball, and the last thing you want is to spend all day spinning about, doing what other people want. Put on a brave face, then bow out as soon as possible. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It looks like you’ll be dealing with one distraction after another today. If you can hardly get through one task without your phone blowing up or another flurry of emails, just take a deep breath and count to ten. Be firm about your needs, and get back to people tomorrow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Something bright and shiny might catch your eye, and though you’re responsible, you might throw that trait out the window. If you can afford this object, then go ahead, but you still best take a couple days to consider whether you really want it; that urge may evaporate.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be surprised if someone brings drama to your home front. Whether it’s a distant family member or just a friend, it looks like you and someone close could have a bit of a dust-up. It will be someone platonic or familial. Be careful whom you let in today. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It might be difficult for you to get your message across today. Perhaps it would be best to just take a step back and let others do the talking. In fact, it seems as though you could learn quite a bit right now just by staying silent. People will let slip some rather interesting details, so keep your ears open.
