Horoscopes

The new moon in Aquarius and the annular solar eclipse start the week off with fortuitous glitches, felicitous mistakes and lucky blind guesses. At first you may be able to tell the difference between a mess and a miracle. It is the levity in your heart that helps you to see the possibilities that lie within seemingly disastrous circumstances. So stay positive and give humor a chance. If you slip up, you’re likely to land in a plum situation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because of your ability to take relationships to a deep level you are able to have many good friends at once. You’ll enjoy the benefits of this all week. For instance, you can talk to someone you haven’t connected with in a long while and pick up right where you left off. And you feel comfortable asking favors of them, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s fun to be part of the scene and experience all that your generation has to offer. However, be aware that much of what you perceive is clever marketing. Maybe it’s a certain car, a way of doing business or a kind of plastic surgery. There is an illusion that “everyone is doing it,” though that is simply untrue.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a special appreciation for the many different kinds of relationships that enhance your life. The people who make you feel grounded aren’t always the ones in your inner circle. The friendly checker at your grocery store or a mentor you’ve never met in person will have a notable positive impact on your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do what you do well, and then repeat it until you have all you desire. Your success key now is in not giving up when things get boring — and they will get boring, especially around Thursday. If you can do it once, you can do it a thousand times. Sagittarius helps you find new motivation along the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll mix with successful people, and it’s difficult to refrain from self-comparison. At least you can put a positive spin on it. Use the impetus to contrast your life against another person’s as motivation. And consider that maybe you already have a multimillion-dollar idea in your head and just don’t realize it yet.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: This year you find new meaning in your life. There are still many questions, but answering them doesn’t seem as important as you realize that you are fulfilling your purpose whether or not you completely understand it. With mental ease you will create new sources of fun. February brings new members to your fan club. March shows you strategizing your rise in an organization, and your plan will work. The sacrifices you make for love in June set off a lucky string of events.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes practicalities prevent you from being as sweet and poetic as you can be. Responsibilities get lighter this week and there’s more room for your true personality to play. The romance that was buried in your heart is unearthed. You spend joyful hours alternately expressing and impressing your love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whether for business or pleasure, you’re looking to partner with people who are your equals. Don’t waste time tallying up someone’s strong points or trying to figure out how they can help you. The right partnerships just feel right. Your intuition leads you to those with whom you have fantastic chemistry.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are filled with hope and good intentions as you enter a new arena. The people are different and you might not understand what they are talking about — it’s a new language. But you’re willing to listen and learn, which is ultimately how you’ll broaden your reach. Before you know it you’ll be an insider.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re truly an open-minded person, which is why others can’t predict what or whom you’ll be into next. When it comes to making new friends, looks, social standing and finances don’t influence you in the least. You are attracted to those who share a similar essence, and you’ll bond with them this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your sign-mate Benjamin Franklin suggested you keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut otherwise. This applies to any commitment you might enter into this week. Shrewd observations going in will save you from an unhappy future, as will going with the flow when you’ve already devoted yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). So much has come together. Monday you will step back and view your life as a stranger might. You will find sources of pride, as well as amusement. Take note of the many beautiful circumstances. Due to the obvious impermanence of special moments, you are likely to celebrate them for all they are worth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In some manner you have abandoned yourself lately by not giving yourself enough attention. The setting is perfect for connecting with yourself in a stronger way this week. Perhaps you’ve neglected your need for fun or nurturing physical care. You’ll have the means to treat yourself as you would a cherished friend.
