Aries (March 21-April 19): It takes extra effort to push on through if you feel like you are stuck at a muddy stretch along your path. Seeing some new sights or interacting with new people are among the things you might do to conjure up the perfect zing that can bust you loose. The contrast is as obvious as night and day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It doesn’t take unlimited resources or a giant bank account to put a smile on someone’s face. Showing that you care can be as simple as texting or offering a friendly ear. Your supportive presence could be more of a game-changer than you know.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): You may wish you exerted yourself more in the past rather than leaving so much to do now. You might find yourself facing stressful conditions if you continue avoiding your responsibilities. Start working harder today for the future you want tomorrow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Ordinarily, work comes before play, but play is top priority today. However, you are likely to be found tackling chores, poring over paperwork or taking care of other responsibilities in the evening. Katharine Hepburn said, “If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Family and friends are heartening, whether from near or afar. In fact, a relative who is typically grumpy might surprise you with a cheery message. The prospects are exciting when a seed of positivity planted long ago shows signs of sprouting. Be grateful for every moment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The warm and cozy emotional conditions you crave are attainable now. It’s possible to feel at home everywhere when your confidence is flowing at a peak, casting a toasty glow on its own. Enjoy the good vibrations and radiate a positive message.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Money does not have to assume a make-or-break position on your priority list as you put together your schedule today. Quality time with loved ones is worth more than gold. Philosopher Paulo Freire wrote, “Only through communication can human life hold meaning.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Communication among friends or loved ones is likely to include some pragmatic talk about needed repairs, furnishings, instruments or tools. Retain relevant details, and set these ideas into motion as soon as possible. Advanced planning results in greater productivity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Revitalize your energy by hanging out with a cherished family member or soulmate, especially if a quick escape is long overdue. However, curling up with a favorite book that feels like an old friend might do the trick if you’re on your own. Your curious imagination is fertile ground.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As much as you enjoy communing with others, at a certain point, you could feel like you’re nearing sensory overload. Time spent with meditation, crystal healing or a good night’s sleep makes a world of difference. Respect your invisible needs, and honor your dreams.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be wishing for more practical information about your schedule or duties than can immediately be obtained from those in charge. It’s frustrating to feel like your concerns are on the back burner, but you may need to grin and bear the delay for a while longer.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s nice to nestle into the reassurance supplied by your most durable values, especially during morning hours. An upbeat mood puts you in the swing of the action. Luckily, things don’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. Appreciate the harmony that flows when love is the guiding force.
