Uranus Opposition To change or not to change? That is the looming question — although it may be a moot point. With Uranus on its closest approach to the Earth in opposition to the Libra sun, the changes may have a way of happening to us instead of because of us. Either way, it’s for the better if only for the clarity that eventually follows this important shift.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your home life is a calm oasis, so make the most of the trend while it lasts. Tonight brings tastes from another culture, and there is much more to learn about this.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It can’t be underestimated, the healing power of laughter. Humor is a main ingredient of our essential care. That’s why all of those YouTube breaks you take during the day are completely justified.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Due to a combination of selfcare and personal development, you look and feel better than you did yesterday, and tomorrow will bring even more improvement.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not totally perfect. In fact, there is much of the day in which you won’t be doing what you love — not by a stretch. Prepare yourself for the day in which you will be doing more of what you love, though, because it’s coming.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t help everyone. Furthermore, most of them don’t ask for or want advice. Sometimes (hint: today) you just have to say “good luck” and be done with it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you get good service, you are more than willing to pay for it. But don’t pay just because it’s what’s expected (by the person giving you subpar service).

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are many things that got started in the free space of a garage. Do you have such a luxury? If so, think of what you might start there. If not, think of where you might find such a space.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Something that didn’t start out very strong will finish up with celebration and fireworks. Here’s the catch: You have to believe! Believe and put the time in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you want to learn, the teachers are nearby. All you have to do is ask the right question. Think carefully. It’s like the genie and the three wishes: The specifics matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have not fully absorbed the “lessons of the journey,” and you should not expect to do so anytime soon. The less you think about it today the better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Anyone can wish for a better life, but people of strong character don’t spend much time and energy on that, because they are too busy making the most of what they have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Can you sense that you are on someone’s mind? Your energy is a little higher because the fond thoughts others are thinking about you have a way of lifting your spirits.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 7). Your enthusiasm for life radiates and elevates everything around you. You’ll thrive in a competitive environment in October. November brings a special certificate. Your friendships will be important to the way December business plays out. A rite of passage makes January most remarkable. Scorpio and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 3, 2, 14 and 9.

ASTROLOGY 101: WHAT IS AQUARIUS LIKE? Aquarians are tomorrow people. They are the voice of the future: fresh, youthful at any age and open to the possibilities. Ruled by Uranus, they are masters of change, and when life takes a twist, this sign does not usually waste time worrying, complaining or explaining. Aquarius takes quickly to the new state of things and immedi- ately starts finding a place, purpose and sense of equilibrium. Aquarius is quick-witted and is the sign of modern invention. Technical prowess usually goes hand-in-hand with this intelligent sign. They can work things and fix glitches and often times won’t even know what it is they did that was effective -- their talent is that innate. Aquarians don’t like to be too serious and are always up for a good laugh. They are noted for their casual friendliness and often have extensive social networks. Even in romantic relationships, they feel that the friendship comes first and must be the basis of deeper connection. This sign has a rich inner world, too, and enjoys spending quality time immersed in fantasies, dreams and imagination. Music is vital to their creativity, and many Aquarians are gifted musicians.
