ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
are less reactive to the goings-on
around you. This is by design.
You see certain interactions as
the means to an end. You keep
your eye on the prize and avoid
getting snagged into dramas of
the ego.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
While it will be frustrating to
tackle a puzzle alone, you’ll be
amazed at what you can solve
together. Shared goals will be
quickly reached. It’s lucky to
celebrate before you move on to
the next challenge.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’re a giver and are very likely
to feel more obligated than is
appropriate today. Though
you find it easy to serve others,
it shouldn’t be an automatic
default for you to do so. Consider
other roles as well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll steer a relationship so
gently your influence will be un-
detected. It’s as though the fates
are carrying the responsibility.
You think about what you want
a relationship to be like and drift
toward that reality.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
A lot of life can be effectively
processed with critical think-
ing, yet it is also possible for an
overactive mind to ruin things. To
examine every angle is tiring and
unnecessary, so just choose one
to appreciate.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Whether or not you win the
battle is beside the point. To
play with valiant intentions and
handle the struggle with grace is
the real triumph. In the end, it’s
the fight that you’ll remember.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). One
definition of confidence is self-
trust. It doesn’t mean you trust
yourself to be perfect. It means
you know who you are and what
you can do so you can relax into
fully embodying those purposes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Isaac Newton noted that objects
in motion tend to stay in motion,
and objects at rest tend to
stay at rest. You’ll tune into the
nature of all the “objects” in your
environment and adjust your
expectations accordingly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People
talk — that will be a good thing
for you. You’ve been doing good
things, and your reputation will
get even better. The respect
you earn will pave the way for
smooth interactions in the future.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
When you fear losing something,
there’s a temptation to hold it
too tight. Instead, build bonds
by weaving together shared
interests and good feelings, then
let those ties work for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Compassion cannot be wielded
in one direction like a laser. It’s a
kind of love that radiates spher-
ically. You cannot have compas-
sion with one person over the
next or be loving with someone
else but not with yourself.
WEDNESDAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 16). It’s the teachers of
the world who mold the future.
You’re such a person, whether
or not teaching is your official
role. Money comes easier to you
between now and June. You’ll
reinvest with excellent results.
A late-summer pivot has you
finding your niche. You’ll hone
your strengths and ultimately
come into your own. Leo and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 14 and
16.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is
said that the truth doesn’t blush.
So perhaps it is the discrepancy
between what we’d like people
to think and the stark reality of
the situation that is to blame for
today’s pink cheeks.
