HOROSCOPE
Aries (March 21-April 19).
One scientific tweet claim-
ing that men are six times
likelier to be struck by light-
ning than women spurred a
long stream of questions. A
claim you make today will do
the same.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Often what’s needed is just
to act. Sometimes thinking
is more important. And then
there are the times when it
gets “meta.” Thinking into
the thinking will be neces-
sary. Observe the thoughts.
Open them for inquiry.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
You’ve strong feelings about
something others don’t
seem fazed by. It doesn’t
mean that your feelings are
incorrect or that no one
would share them. You’re in
one situation with a few peo-
ple. Get a larger sample.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Some of the best speakers in
the world had terrible ner-
vousness about it, including
Mark Twain, Winston Chur-
chill and even Abraham Lin-
coln. So you’re in good com-
pany when the nerves hit
and you go on and do it any-
way.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Magi-
cians, politicians, filmmakers
and entertainers of all kinds
learn to control the perspec-
tive of others, drawing at-
tention to what they want
others to experience. You’ll
be called on to do this to
some extent today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Read your surroundings with
attention so you can capital-
ize on opportunities that
others don’t notice. Howev-
er decent your plan may be,
you also need that backup
plan. It wouldn’t hurt to re-
verse-engineer the situa-
tion, either.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s
nicer to have supportive
people around you. It helps.
Sometimes it makes all the
difference. But when they’re
not around or they’re not
acting right, just remember
that it’s not their job to be-
lieve in you; it’s yours.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Someone disappointed you,
but instead of condemning
the person, you tried to un-
derstand the situation, and
that got you over your dis-
appointment. The maturity
you gained back there will
help you with today’s situa-
tion.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You might detach from
others slightly today, but it’s
not because you don’t care.
It’s about giving others the
room they need to handle
what matters without get-
ting in the way of the lesson.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
