STARS

We might start out the day feeling discouraged or less optimistic due to some dreary cosmic weather in the morning, but the vibe shouldn’t last too long. Toward the afternoon, we can expect a sizable shift in the day’s energy, as we’re encouraged to focus on workable solutions instead of just the problems themselves. The cosmos lend us hope and the can-do attitude that we need for us to turn a difficult situation around or make useful improvements.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Sometimes success doesn’t come as quickly as you might want it. The small steps you take now will eventually lead to a big payoff later.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Trying to keep up with the demands of everyday life can be hard. Make sure to do something that’s just for you, preferably something fun.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

You might not like finding out the truth about a particular issue, but this knowledge can actually be empowering.

Money could be a little tight. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Don’t feel pressured to take on more responsibility than you can handle, even if someone is giving you pushback.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

You might need a little help shaking off the blues. Indulge in a hobby or engage your creative side. Do something romantic with your partner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Socializing may not be the vibe for you today, and that’s OK. Sometimes you just need to focus on other things.

Life might not be as exciting as you might like it to be right now. However, the work you put in now will leave room for more playtime later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

People may do things that you find upsetting, but it doesn’t always mean you should write or cut them off. Do you need to be more understanding or forgiving?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

If you’re feeling lost or unsure of where to begin with a goal, talk to someone for support.
