You are arriving at a juncture that many before you were unable to successfully navigate, their failures a motivating force behind your caution and senses on high alert. You can do this. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To the world, you’re a diligent worker bee, but you experience yourself differently. Unmet expectation causes a discrepancy in you that no one else can see.

If you spread yourself thin, there will be a little of you on every sandwich, though maybe not enough to impact the overall flavor profile of anyone’s meal. Say no to three things so you can give a more concentrated yes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As it was with the royals in days of old, the luxuries you share in your “cas- tle” will really pay off. Entertain- ment wins battles without raising swords. Diplomacy is among the numerous unselfish reasons to invest in your home. WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Before you spend countless hours trying to figure out and execute the most efficient and effective way to complete the task, make sure it’s worth doing. The big-pic- ture view is invaluable.

The point gets made best when sharpened by the flint of brevity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everything you experience today has a benefit of one kind or an- other. Some will pay off immedi- ately and others years from now. It will be lucky to thank them in advance for the dividends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s taking a while to master a subject.

While attempting to balance the professional, personal, creative and communal aspects of your life, you’ll come to the inevitable conclusion that something’s got to give. If you don’t choose what, the universe will choose for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a diligent, reliable worker, a friend to be counted on, a go-to member of the family — and, in a related story, you’re tired. How does the “inside-you” figure into the equation? That person wants equal attention. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The work is tricky and new to you, though there are people around who have been doing this for decades. While trying your best to do things right, you may bring smiles to the lips of experts. They will be smiles of compassion. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 8). Nothing will interfere with your quest for and maintenance of an exciting, fulfilling person- al life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Society will readily present you with an entire chart of what you must do to be virtuous and deserving of respect, and your impulse to set it on fire is not entirely unwarrant- NON SEQUITUR ed. It’s all too much, right? Retreat; recharge; and regroup.
