Horoscope

SATURDAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t underestimate the power of lights and music to set the mood of interactions. Movies have soundtracks; why shouldn’t your relationships? And it’s a joy to assemble the playlist.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To pay attention once is never enough. You want to take in the whole of a person, but that is always changing. And so, you must keep tending to matter. Love grows.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sometimes it’s easier for you to accept people who are very different from you than it is to accept people who are very similar. You project your wishes or regrets on the latter category, perhaps unconsciously until today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This problem you are working on seems like it should be a little easier. The reason it’s not is a matter of positioning. You are an integral part of the mystery you are trying to solve.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The ones who succeed aren’t necessarily smarter, more talented or better looking. They’re not even the ones with the most money. The ones who succeed are the ones who never quit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your contentment depends on recognizing where people are in their development and setting your expectations along those lines instead of other invented and unrealistic realms.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take the time to ramble, wander or stroll because that knotty bit of psychology that’s had you so distracted will get all worked out in the rush of fresh air you’re moving through.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The best jobs will be the thankless ones. It is when you’re pretty sure no one cares or notices that you will do the most important work of your soul — the work that’s validated purely by your higher self.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t care as much as the others do about being right or sounding like you know what you’re talking about. Maybe that’s why you’re the one everyone wants to sit next to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your respect for your elders and mentors has been cultivated over time and is now at a high you may wish you had years ago. Well, no one is born with manners. And now it’s your turn to teach them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Subconscious tendencies can take years to form and won’t change overnight. It is unloving to require miraculous leaps of yourself. Love yourself as you are, and coax yourself each step along improvement’s path.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a giver, but it’s OK to make people trade you something, too. In fact, that’s when it will become clear how close or far apart you are on the value assessment.

SUNDAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A conversation doesn’t have to be long to be effective. In fact, the longer it is, the less effective it will be. Think and write about what you are feeling. What is worth expressing here? Choose very carefully.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Human interaction is hardly ever about what it purports to be about. The puzzle this poses is reason enough for you to slow down and listen closely. Of course, figuring it out also gives you an edge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s as hard to communicate with someone who easily takes offense as it is to relate to someone who readily gives offense. Choose your topics well and tread lightly, and you’ll cross the minefield intact.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Small daily improvements lead to sizable monthly improvements. If you only do 1% better each day on something that matters to you, in 100 days you’ll have completely transformed your skill level.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you can’t see your way forward in the dark, the brightest flashlight in the world won’t do you any good unless it is also turned on. Asking for help today will be like flipping that switch. Let there be light.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There can be many morals to the same story. Your takeaway is going to be different from that of others who lived the same experience. The value of this is something all people set for themselves.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Environments have psychological weight, a fact you’re all too aware of today. Practice emotional safety. Figuratively feel the temperature of a door before opening it, as though bracing for a room on fire.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is rare to be in a situation where a mentor knows exactly what to do with your talent. You’ll have to figure out quite a lot about yourself on your own. As long as you expect and embrace this, the process will be fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The value you give today’s pursuits can be summed up by these words of explorer Dame Freya Stark: “Love of learning is a pleasant and universal bond, since it deals with what one is and not what one has.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People change their minds all of the time, though most prefer to do this privately. Public shifts of thought can be equated to admitting error, which egos of the big and fragile variety cannot abide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). They really have no idea what it’s like to be you. But before you get to worrying about that, it will be helpful to answer this question: What is it like to be them?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know that you don’t yet understand a thing enough to form an opinion, let alone act on the matter. This knowledge is, in and of itself, virtuous. A lesser person wouldn’t even realize the gap.
