Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): The idea comes to you, but it’s not yours. It’s a fickle entity, and it will go wherever it’s most likely to be realized. You’ll get first choice though; if you think this is worth following through on, make your move now, before it’s too late. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your life is a bit like an abstract painting or a song today in that it’s a work of art you really needn’t explain. People will wonder. Let them come up with their own interpretations. It will be more interesting that way. Gemini (May 21-June 21): There are plenty of things on your wish list these days, including bigger reserves of patience, especially where the opposite sex is concerned. You may even move that to the top of the list. Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s quite a lot of work that goes into making your home a beautiful place that runs smoothly — work you gladly do, especially since your domestic life is such a huge source of pride for you these days. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today you will give with a heart that’s as big as the wide, open sky. Your beneficiary will be liberated by the gift and will feel free enough to fly through the expanse of it, ever closer to the sun. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some use tardiness as an attention-getting tool. They equate being late with being special. Since you need your life to run on schedule, give those chronically late people an earlier version of the expected arrival time. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Have faith. Show up to work day after day after day like the sun showing up to the ground. One day, what’s planted inside will stretch out and blossom before your eyes. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Powerful people weren’t always so — and, in fact, they aren’t always powerful now, either. Everyone is vulnerable in some way. You’ll see this today, and your compassion in this regard will be applied to good effect. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The fake thing you’re worried about will loom large in your mind until you challenge it, asking point blank: “What is the real thing I’m worried about?” The real thing is very easily handled once you know what it is. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The main stress will be brief and followed by a happy moment, borne of a very simple question you ask yourself. “What can I do?” You’ll come up with many answers, and then you’ll act on the best one. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People need you as much as you need them. This balance will make for an extremely productive day of cooperation and group effort. With deep appreciation, you’ll accept the ample support you’re offered. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s not time to ask for help yet. You’re not ready for people to take notice of your idea. You’re still working on it, and you’d prefer to do that under the radar. Once loved ones give you the space you need, you’ll be in heaven.
