YOUR STARS

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19

You’ve been pushing hard, but take care that in the quest for success you don’t lose sight of what’s most precious to you. Are you planning to work during your free time? Instead of toiling in the trenches for an uncertain reward, why not pour equal time and energy into nurturing your family?

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20

You could be traveling today. Whether it’s a short hop or a longer journey, you won’t have any trouble with snarled traffic or interminable flight delays. You have high hopes for this trip, either from a personal or professional standpoint, and the beginning is both pleasant and auspicious. Listen to a good audio book to relax you and help shorten your perception of the travel time.

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 21

You won’t make much progress on advancing a business plan today, so it’s best to just resign yourself to jogging in place for a couple of days. You may not have the right mindset for getting down to what you need to do. Perhaps there are disturbances in your household, or maybe there’s simply too much going on at work.

CANCER JUNE 22-JULY 21

Sleeping late seems like a good idea even if you’ve got a busy day ahead of you. Your energy might be low and your motivation even lower. Maybe you’re troubled by some unresolved tension in your personal life, or maybe you’re just worn out from a hectic schedule. Whatever is going on, take care of yourself first. Everything else can wait.

LEO JULY 21-AUGUST 22

You’ll have to work hard to stifle your controlling nature today when someone comes to you with a dilemma. You know exactly how you would handle a similar situation, but others must make their own decisions and their own mistakes. You can offer advice if you’re asked, but putting your foot down firmly and dictating terms will only lead to conflict.

VIRGO AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22

The only thing you want to have on your mind today is romance. Keep your focus on your partner and don’t dwell on petty annoyances or minor inconveniences. So what if the lettuce on your sandwich is wilted, or the soft drinks from the convenience store aren’t as cold as you like them? Nothing will spoil the mood faster than endless grousing about silly stuff.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22

Your enthusiasm is at the low-water mark today, and you might be feeling a little put out because no one is asking about how you’re feeling. Maybe you’ve been pulling this sad face a bit too often lately. If so, those close to you may have decided that their efforts to cheer you up don’t do much good anyway, so they have just pulled back and expect you to deal with it on your own.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21

Good control of your facial expressions helps hide your shocked surprise at today’s news. You were very likely expecting to receive much less, so the munificence of the offer catches you off guard. Nevertheless, you know you deserve it and can hardly wait to share the victory with someone special.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21

Even if you’ve never picked up a musical instrument in your life or taken a day of lessons, you are filled with the urge to create beautiful sounds today. Play around on a friend’s piano or guitar. You may have some latent talent that’s begging for development. Who knows? If you get serious about this, you could be providing the entertainment at parties before too long.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19

You can never get too much good news, and today the happy tidings just don’t stop. Every aspect of your life, whether personal or professional, is touched with magic. But this good fortune didn’t just fall out of the sky and into your lap. You know that you’ve worked hard to get to this peak and have every right to heave a deep sigh of satisfaction.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 20

You’ve got a lot on your mind, so much so that you could feel like you’re bound by handcuffs and leg chains today. No matter what you try to do, your reach simply won’t extend far enough. Perhaps you’re trying to take too big a stride or embrace too much in one grab. Retrench, resurvey, and restrategise. You may need to call in reinforcements.

PISCES FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20

A guardian angel in a human guise could come to your aid today. You might not even find out about their intervention until much later. If things seem to smooth out especially quickly, or if you receive some excellent news, be aware that it could be the result of someone’s advocacy on your behalf. Show the proper gratitude when the time comes.
