VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There is nothing great or meek
about leadership; it’s just a
position, the same as “support
team member” is a position and
“service provider” is a position.
Today’s questions: Which posi-
tion do you want?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). At
any given moment, you are rid-
ing somewhere on the wheel
of feelings, though you seldom
stop to identify the space. Is it
inspired or silly? Bored or com-
petitive? It will be a valuable if

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). When a person is distant
to you in the moment, you
can’t help but wonder what or
whom it is that they are close
to. It is possible to be distant to
everything.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe
you don’t revel in your solitude,
but you have a healthy toler-
ance of it that keeps you from
making terrible choices for
company out of fear. Solo mis-
sions are actually enormously
pleasurable for you now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
We misremember to construct
narratives that put us in control
of our fate. Who is to say that’s
not the better way of thinking
of things? Wherever there’s
a choice, put yourself in the
driver’s seat.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
If just about anyone can do
it, then you probably won’t
want to. You are feeling your
individuality in a big way and
you’re simply in no mood to be
lumped into the masses.
DILBERT

not liberating thing to note.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Who gives you care and
support? If many do, you’ll be
torn about where to put your
attention. If you’ve a lack of
support, consider where you
might assemble some.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Conflicting tensions, oppos-
ing emotions and polarities
abound today. Even so, finding
common ground or a mutually
agreeable compromise won’t
be nearly as hard as you think
it will be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Focus on building relationships
and everything else will fall
into place. Don’t worry about
making inroads with the right
people. There are no right peo-
ple. Just start where you are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Complain if you need to.
Venting is healthy if done in
the right way. Also try on this
question to see if it helps: What
if you’re right where you’re
supposed to be, doing exactly
what’s needed?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
It’s frustrating not to know
what people need from you.
But once they clearly con-
vey their expectations, you’ll
decide what you can agree to
and follow up by hitting every
mark.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
There’s someone whose pres-
ence you find invigorating. Yet,
for mysterious reasons, you
may avoid this person. Just be-
cause a feeling is good doesn’t
mean it’s comfortable.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
24). You’ll make impressive
progress with goals and time-
lines. Then, everything chang-
es. You’re gloriously versatile!
You’ll love the surprises and
twists, making a success of
various challenges, tasks and
leadership styles. You really will
find fun and fulfillment with
whatever you take on, work,
leisure and beyond. Gemini
and Aquarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 14, 17, 3, 38
and 6.
