ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Stay away from the “I did it, and
so can you” type of messag-
ing today because it’s overly
simplistic and does not account
for the myriad of ways that
people are so different from one
another.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re still figuring out
what can and cannot be done
and which tasks fall neatly un-
der your jurisdiction. It might be
worth it to take on something
that’s not your responsibility,
even though you won’t get
credit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Any
mistakes in the work will actual-
ly be mistakes of planning. The
more time you spend thinking
ahead and setting yourself up
for a win, the better your day
will go.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There was a time when you
stretched yourself to fit a role.
And then, slowly, steadily, you
grew to fit the title. You’re about
to repeat this process with a
new challenge.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your natural responses cannot
be correct or incorrect. They just
are. The behavior you choose af-
ter you feel a certain way can be
very much wrong or right. You’ll
choose carefully tonight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your attitude is the perfect
match to get any job done, but
especially the ones that have to
do with extending your powers
of empathy to figure out how
best to help the situation along.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While
it’s natural to sometimes feel
bad, sad, worried or angry,
those who stay in these states
indefinitely will have a negative
consequence on your well-be-
ing. When you’re choosing your
company, consider tone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You won’t go wrong when you
aim for tangible, quantifiable
outcomes. A coach can help you
along. Unambiguous feedback
isn’t for everyone — only for the
tough, like you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
you are in an observant, recep-
tive and artistic mood, “always,”
“never” and other extremes of
language fall away. You revel in
life’s many colors and shades
beyond black and white.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
reality of a situation is much
better than you’re thinking it is.
You just have to ask different
questions of it. A person coming
from a different place in life will
help you frame things another
way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It
turns out that the period of
time when you felt like you
were meandering was actually
a long and deliberate planning
stage for what’s going on with
you today.

SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
15). You’ve always been the star
of your show, but now you’ll
also be the star of the arena
you’ve been trying to shine in.
You’ll dominate the tasks, win
the competitions and take over
the leadership where appropri-
ate. All this, plus you’ll receive
adoring attention from those
you love to be around. What
could be better? Aries and
Cancer adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 1, 11, 37, 41 and
13.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’ve known things to be more
work than anticipated, but to-
day’s thing is ridiculous. Devote
yourself when it’s adding up to
something that will matter. This
isn’t. Get out of it.
