ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You can thank today’s smooth
ride to your own clean karma.
Moral questions come up this
evening, but nothing that
needs to be solved immediate-
ly. Think it over.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
If you place too much signifi-
cance and value in the wrong
things, this is a human mistake.
You’ll learn quickly. Experience
is the only way to really under-
stand what’s important and
what’s not.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
People find you attractive, and
they will want your atten-
tion and time. Both of these
commodities are precious, and
today they will be best given in
the spirit of investment instead
of charity.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The philosopher Friedrich
Nietzsche lived by the concept
of amor fati, Latin for “a love of
one’s fate.” You’ll take a similar
approach to the day, deciding
to love destiny’s delivery in
whatever form it comes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
A sense of calm will alight on
your decision-making process.
There is no need to overanalyze
— if you even need to analyze
at all. You simply know what
to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
wanting a result, and you’ll
get it, but the timeframe is the
matter in question. It is very
difficult to predict how long
things will take. Be patient and
willing to adjust.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You don’t have to anticipate
every outcome. Get a general
idea and then act. There is an
opportunity that can only pres-
ent itself when things aren’t
exactly going as planned.

THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
23). For your birthday, you’ll
be served cosmic justice. You
get more because you can
handle more. New and tanta-
lizing options open up next
month. You bring the fun with
you wherever you go, and you
attract admirers and followers.
You’ll work with a partner on
an issue that matters deeply to
you. Sagittarius and Aries adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 8,
11, 13, 45 and 2.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You don’t have to com-
ment on every statement or
have a judgment of everything
going on around you. It’s
enough to be a witness. Save
your energy. You’ll need it later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Don’t lean on things that
worked before. The same thing
that caused a triumph yester-
day could be ineffective tomor-
row. The importance of context
cannot be underestimated. Stay
awake and alert.
Tke peafiantfi, were

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your fantasy of a relationship
doesn’t quite match the reality
of it, and this is causing some
tension. It’s easy enough to re-
solve, if you’re willing to adjust
your expectations.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’ve been a leader, and
you’ve been a follower. When
you’re acting to the best of your
ability, the roles are equally
demanding. You’ll be at the top
of your game this afternoon.
BIZARRO
r
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You don’t need to control a sit-
uation to work it to your advan-
tage. You need only be ready to
take your turn and hop on the
opportunities that open up.
