HOROSCOPES

Happy birthday. The role you play in your immediate circle has provided you with a strong identity, though it’s not the entirety of you. This year you’ll stretch beyond that casting and love how it transforms you. Family bonds get tighter in November. A past contribution circles back, bringing abundance in January. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll set a firm intention. What you intend may not always be the way it turns out, but things will always turn out differently because of your intention. Your intention has power. It moves you, and it will move others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The technology that’s supposed to be helping you might be causing you anxiety. The best connections will be the ones you make in person. There is no substitute for supportive human contact. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Because it comes so easily to you to be warm with others, you may underestimate the value of your smile. Make no mistake, it is a value that will tip the scales in today’s situation. CANCER (June 22-July 22): It won’t serve you to count on popular support. Your results are purer when you don’t worry about such things. Anyway, you’re more likely to get the support just as soon as they sense you don’t need it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Today’s success secret: Don’t think about it. Act. Go. Do. There are many opportunities in danger of being lost to the mind’s clever rumination trap. There’s a time for all that, and this isn’t it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re in the mood to dabble in different points of view. While looking for signs of an indifferent universe, you’ll find plenty of evidence. While dreaming that the fates favor you, you’ll get evidence of that, too. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Wherever you go, you want to be there fully. Of course, this is harder when you get roped into going places you had no intention or desire to see. Your efforts to get into it are commendable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): For some, anger is an addiction. This type tends to either actively seek or unwittingly attract the circumstances that will facilitate the angry rush and the release that comes with it. Avoid these people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Most crimes are mistakes. Most mistakes are not crimes. The tendency today is to make too big of a deal over the small infractions. Be the exception — they’ll love you for it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s something unfair that happened recently, and today you’re wondering how far you should pursue justice. Confucius suggested that before you embark on a journey of revenge, you dig two graves. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may seem strange to you, but some people have trouble matching their tone to the level of seriousness of what’s being discussed or executed. You’re a beacon of social grace. You’ll help the ones struggling to get it right. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You won’t have all the answers today. But just because you don’t know the answer to the question doesn’t mean you don’t know the answer to the question behind the question.
