ARIES [March 21â€"April 19] To place yourself in smooth alignment with planetary rhythms, do work on the foundations of your life. Make sure you have a supply of the various resources that keep you strong and steady. Check to see if maybe you need to rev up your emotional connection with the traditions you hold dear. But that's only half your horoscope, Aries. Here's the rest: Invite your most rambunctious playmates over for a raucous home-blessing ceremony.
TAURUS [April 20â€"May 20] Two-thirds of people surveyed said they would rather look good than feel good. The fact of the matter is that if you emphasize looking goodâ€"creating favorable impressions, acting dishonest to curry favor, wearing uncomfortable but attractive clothesâ€"you will feel sub-par and look mediocre. On the other hand, if you put the priority on feeling goodâ€"treating your body like a pet, seeking encounters that nurture your secret self, and hanging out in environments that encourage you to relaxâ€"you will look good and feel good.
GEMINI [May 21â€"June 20] If you're bogged down in the trance of the humdrum routine, astrology can open your mind and illuminate fascinating patterns that have been invisible to you. It can reveal the big picture of your life story, sweeping away the narrow ideas and shrunken expectations you have about yourself. But reliance on horoscopes can also have downsides. If you're superstitious, it might make you more so. If you're prone to be passive, believing that life is something that happens to you, it might further diminish your willpower. That's why, as much as I love astrology, I'm wary of its potential to deceive and lead astray. Is there anything comparable in your world, Gemini? Something that feeds and inspires you, but only if you're discerning about it? This is a good time to ratchet up your discernment.
CANCER [June 21â€"July 22] I don't care whether you call it uncanny intuition or plain old telepathy: In the next three weeks, you will have unusually abundant access to that way of knowing. So please use it. Please call on it. It could steer you away from twisty wastes of time that don't serve your highest good. It might also allow you to ferret out disguised or hiding opportunities. There's one catch: If you don't believe in them, your psychic powers won't work as well as they can. So I suggest you set aside any dogmatic skepticism you might have about them and proceed on the hypothesis that they are very real.
LEO [July 23â€"August 22] Let's poke around to see if we can stir up some good trouble, Leo. You're in need of a friendly disruptio. Fortunately, I'm sensing there's a temptation that isn't so forbidden any longer . . . as well as a strange attractor you might find inspiring and a volatile teaching that would turn you inside-out. Are you willing to wander into a previously off-limits area? Hey, look. There's one of those mystery spots I was hinting about. I wonder what would happen if you pressed that green button. Go ahead. Don't be . . . Gaaaahhhhh! Unnhhh! Wha?! I mean WOW! That was very interesting. Try it again!
VIRGO [August 23â€"September 22] You could be on the verge of uncorking an excessive response to a modest prompt. You should ask yourself: "Are the feelings rising up in me truly appropriate for what's happening now? Or are they mostly the eruption of material that I repressed in the past?" Also consider Hoare's Law of Large Problems, which says that inside every large problem is a small problem scrambling to get out. Be alert for the possibility that minor adjustments will work better than epic struggles.
LIBRA [September 23â€"October 22] Temple Grandin is a successful autistic person. Diagnosed early, she went on to earn a Ph.D. in Animal Science and became a bestselling author whose work has led to improvements in the treatment of livestock. Although she acknowledges that her autism has caused her problems, she also believes it gives her abilities that non-autistic people don't have: her extreme sensitivity and extraordinary visual memory are at the root of her unique insights into the needs of animals. If there were an instant cure for her autism, she says, she wouldn't take it. She's an advocate of neurodiversity. Now here's my question for you, Libra: Do you have a supposed weakness or disability that's actually an inherent part of one of your special talents? Celebrate and cultivate it this week.
SCORPIO [October 23â€"November 21] Barbara De Angelis wrote a book that offers to help us learn "how to make love all the time." Maybe I'll read it, but right now I'm more interested in your take on the subject. How would you make loveâ€"not have sex, but make loveâ€"with your sandwich, with the music you listen to, with a vase of flowers, with the familiar strangers sitting in the café, with everything? Your expertise in this art is now at a peak.
SAGITTARIUS [November 22â€"December 21] It's not a good time to treat yourself like a beast of burden or swamp yourself with dark thoughts. You're extra-sensitiveâ€"as delicate and impressionable as a young poet in love with a dream of paradise. You need doses of sweetness and amounts of fluidic peace, smart listening, and radical empathy. If you can't get people to buoy your spirits and slip you delightful presents, do those things for yourself.
