Horoscopes

Venus and Jupiter Tango: Venus and Jupiter pull across the sky from one another, a tension reminiscent of the tango, the South American dance of longing, bravado and heat. Is it a fight or an embrace? Anger or simply a heart on fire? The dips look perilous, the lean impossible — until the hold proves strong. Today moves with the power of surrender and trust — one partner yielding, the other catching.

aries

March 21-April 19

You don't waste time envying what a friend has when you can simply go out and get your own. It's when you see something in the world that is not accessible to you that the pangs persist and then turn into something else entirely — motivation, then pure drive.

libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 23

You have an instinct about who you can trust, and it's not always the one who is the right pick on paper. How you feel around people is more important than how their profile reads.

taurus

April 20-May 20

A daily ritual is so much a part of feeling like yourself that if you were to skip it, all else would feel slightly askew. This is your ideal moment to level up the practice with a small improvement. It ripples out to the rest of your life.

scorpio

Oct. 24-Nov. 21

In the echo chamber of the internet, with its crowdsourced consensus and recycled takes, you have a chance to offer something that wasn't there before. People are hungry for what isn't being said. You're well positioned to say it.

gemini

May 21-June 21

If you thought the gray areas were complex, wait until you get into the rest of the crayon box. But you're the artist of this life. You know that every color can have its place and use in the picture — some you use a lot, some just a dot. You can make this work.

sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

A well-supported idea in both therapy and relationship research is this: Psychological safety shows up as not having to perform your mood. In other words, the people who let you be you no matter what it looks like at the moment are treasures, and you really feel that today.

June 22-July 22

There's little to do but plenty to adjust to, which is the harder task. Flexibility is its own form of strength. Give yourself credit for your ability to adapt and settle in.

capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Your vitality makes you courageous, and your courage fills you with vitality, so the cycle keeps looping until your head hits the pillow tonight. By then, you'll have a few stories to tell about this day, which is the happy consequence of your daring.

leo

July 23-Aug. 22

Just as nutritional needs vary from person to person, so do other needs such as novelty, social interaction, creative generation and physical exertion. So, don't go by anyone else's prescription. Only you know what feels right.

aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Maybe you'll notice that you are the thing that is "not like the others" today, but that's a good thing. Everything that is different about you is an asset, not a liability. You'll elevate the scene you're in just by being you, with minimal filtering.

virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Knowledge is as bright as sunbeams and just as tricky to deliver. You can't hand someone a sunbeam. When you organize your ideas around what lights you up, others come closer to absorb what you know.

pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

As spiritual awareness expands, the ego naturally contracts. Perspective grows and self-importance fades, replaced by curiosity, humility and connection. Today, there will be less of a need to prove, protect or perform, and yet you are more fully yourself.
