ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your heart will be light and
playful. New things will interest
you; old things call on you dif-
ferently. It’s your adaptability
that makes this all possible.
way for you, as they will today,
just take it. Accept the gesture
with a smile. You would do the
same for others, and you have.
Your motives were pure, and
theirs are, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Maybe life is not a competitive
match, and yet games tend to
sharpen people. A worthy ad-
versary brings out the best in
you. If you don’t have one, then
this is your day to seek one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll go out of your way
to keep even the simplest
agreement. This is why you
avoid making promises. Sacred
pacts are too heavy a deal and
overkill for today’s situation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
To listen to what a person is
saying and really try to take
the world on from that person’s
perspective is the single act
you can perform today to make
the world a better place.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Your brain is in top condi-
tion. Yet, you keep training
it anyway. It’s like you know
there are things you need to
be ready for in the future, and
you’ll stay sharp in anticipa-
tion.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
People love you just how you
are, but that is not the reason
you don’t have to try too hard
today. You’ll be doing what
matters to you in the style that
feels comfortable to you and
good things will just naturally
happen.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
prefer to know what people
want, though it’s very interest-
ing not to know. It causes you
to make guesses and it’s fun to
get them right and even more
fun to get them wrong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Nostalgia is its own kind of
pleasure. Like most pleasure,
it’s best taken in moderation.
You’ll relish the sweetness of
looking but you have no desire
to dwell there.
BIZARRO
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Working under pressure isn’t
entirely pleasant, but today it’s
how you’ll get the right things
done in the timeline that works
for the world at the price that
works for you.
I really don t

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You don’t have to know what’s
going on inside of you to know
that it matters, not only to you
but also to the people around
you. If you can relax into the
mood of the day instead of
trying to create and control it,
you’ve already won.
