ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be-
ing stuck is a thing that happens
when you’re afraid of loss. Once
you’re willing to lose a thing,
you can drop it. There’s suddenly
some wiggle room, if not an
entire swath of space you can
simply walk on out of.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The infinite is formless, which is
why we need frames made out
of our judgments and rules, our
boundaries and negations. It’s
a day to use and celebrate the
word “no,” as it creates the frame
around all your yeses.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
3). You can trust instinct and
intuition better than any other
influence around right now.
You are like a blessed baby who
doesn’t have to know where it’s
going or what it’s doing to be
blissfully protected. A risk taken
in September brings abundantly
more opportunity. Health and
love improvements happen
in November. Sagittarius and
Gemini adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 45, 2, 28 and 16.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can
love a plant all you want, but it
will grow according to the sun-
light and soil, not according to
your love. To position and pro-
vide what’s required for thriving
— this is how to effectively love
a plant or anything else.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
river never stops. It is moved
by water falling from the sky to
the mountaintop, where water
rushes down to the deepest part
of the ocean. You, feeling stuck,
are, in fact, in motion. Your con-
nection to others makes it so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your mindset around money
and what it’s for is changing. Try
this on: You have enough and
therefore you are rich. Could this
statement be true? How does it
make you feel?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If
you experience it at home, and
then, when you try to get away
from it it’s still there but no mat-
ter where you go, that means
that you’re it. This is about the
best news you could get; that
the thing is well within your
locus of control.
BIZARRO
SS
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There is a point in which the
most productive thing you can
do is nothing at all. Think of
a screw. If you tighten it past
a certain point, it becomes
stripped and no longer can per-
form its purpose. Know when
to stop.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
When you can’t lessen the
measurable impact of a thing,
you can still alter the immea-
surable elements. Only you can
determine how much it means
to you.
C<Jfs& FC>R.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Before you ask a person to
give you something, you might
want to check to make sure that
it is within their ability to do so.
This one assurance will steer
interactions in a productive
direction.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There is no need to reach or
struggle for your contentment;
you only need to claim it if you
want it. If you don’t, that is fine,
too. It will be waiting for you
either way.

I STOPPED USING

BECAUSE SARCASM
WORKS BETTER.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Even though you receive praise
for being versatile and adept at
many endeavors, you’d feel like
you’re somewhere instead of
everywhere. Today, you long for
and will achieve, focus.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If
you can’t quite put words to this
thing you’re doing, don’t let that
bother you. As suggested by
the ancient philosopher Laotzu,
“The way is ever nameless.”
