Horoscopes

Altruistic Launch for Aquarius Season: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" said Martin Luther King Jr. Aquarius season begins with two auspicious earth sign trines on the day we honor the civil rights leader who framed service as a daily practice rather than a distant ideal. The astrology supports steady, practical acts of care that turn good intentions into a tangible impact.

aries

March 21-April 19

There's a problem to toy with — not a problem that's urgent and needs solving, but one you can figure out in joy and playfulness. A relaxed state will do much of the work for you. So many solutions will come to you.

libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 23

You're learning for the joy of it. The fact you stumble upon today becomes a bridge to something larger. Curiosity compounds. It's all casual today, but just wait and see how quickly it grows into an immersive interest.

taurus

April 20-May 20

You don't romanticize less-than-ideal circumstances, nor do you let them define you. These conditions add dimension to your work, your purpose and your life. You'll use all that happens like the artist you are.

scorpio

Oct. 24-Nov. 21

You embody a cheerful cleverness, like you just cracked a code, and you'll apply some of this to your relationship with money. Today, you're centered on value rather than price. Spending becomes intentional. What you choose supports your priorities.

gemini

May 21-June 21

It's a day to revisit the rituals that connect you to your values and remind you of who you are and where you come from. That might sound serious and effort-intensive, but it plays out simply: "I do this because it feels good, familiar or fun to me, and here's why ..."

sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

You're in the mood to zoom out and ask a bigger and brighter question. Possibility feels generous today, not abstract. An invitation, an idea or a change of scenery remind you how many choices you really have, and that freedom fuels your optimism.

cancer

June 22-July 22

You recognize quality quickly. You can point to the best things — the meat of an idea, the cute part of a story, the best characteristics of a person. Today, your instinct to find the best part saves time and elevates outcomes.

capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Steady effort pays off in a satisfying way. You see how far you've come because something that once felt heavy now feels manageable. Your competence makes everything easier, and that ease frees you to think creatively about what comes next.

leo

July 23-Aug. 22

Your confidence isn't about what you have. It's about knowing you can make something of whatever comes. You trust in your powers of adaptation, which seem to braid together your creativity, resilience and emotional intelligence to orient you toward possibility.

aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

You notice where you don't quite fit, and instead of adjusting yourself, you adjust the situation. Innovation can happen through small tweaks and original angles — you prove that today. What seems unconventional at first proves effective and very much your style.

virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

The sky is only blue a fraction of the time. Many carrots are not orange. Many radishes are not red. Not all blue whales are blue. Life comes to you vividly today because you have the open mind to see beyond color and into the possibility.

pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

A pause will be necessary to get perspective. If it feels luxurious, let it be. If it's merely practical, that's good, too. Just don't let it feel indulgent because this is necessary. Moments of stillness sharpen judgment and soften interactions. You return refreshed and clear.
