Love and pain are like two bookends on the shelf. There can be many stories in between them — volumes and volumes that only hold up because of the tacit agreement between these two ends. The risk involved in love is something we appreciate as the sun moves toward Mercury in these days before the Scorpio full moon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Success won’t come from doing anything too grand. It just comes from doing what you say you’re going to do. Promise small and deliver on it, and you’ll win the day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get specific about what you want and need, because the typical answers are so ubiquitous that they no longer mean anything to you. What would be good for you is different from what would be good for someone else.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Imperfection and flaws are part of the deal. The better you are at living with things you don’t like without giving them too much of your attention, the more time you’ll have to do something great.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Change is necessary, and you feel driven to break up the monotony but only to a certain degree. Too much novelty is destabilizing, so you’ll seek just the right amount of excitement.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The significance of committing to one thing is that you are also giving up your option of doing the other things. What comes without sacrifice quickly becomes worthless.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Committing to your own growth will mean doing things that don’t necessarily come easily to you, but that doesn’t mean they have to be very hard, either. Small changes will add up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are distinctly different destinies that unfold depending on how you show up. You will carefully consider your approach to situations knowing that whatever you choose, it will come with its own outcome.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the grip of conflicting tensions, and though this is a little uncomfortable, there’s something terribly interesting, creative and romantic about it, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your ability to compartmentalize will allow you to do incredible things. There are times when you take your ability to focus on the task at hand for as long as it takes to accomplish it as a given.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Think carefully about how many people you should involve in a project. Two people involved have a dynamic. Add a third person and the variables open up exponentially.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One can go pretty far with faultless manners and unimpeachable taste. Now if you could only find such a person! Luckily, true connection (which is based in relatability, vulnerability and shared mistakes) goes even further.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Know who you’re dealing with, and be wary of those who would prefer to interact with those who are totally absorbed into them, communicating more like an echo than a distinct and separate voice.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3). Your cosmic birthday present is the confidence that comes with right action. In six months you’ll find that you’re talking less about your ambitions and showing more of your work once it’s completed. You’ll be growing and enjoying how that translates in your life — what it means you can do for your loved ones. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 25, 33 and 18.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Social influence happens every moment of every day whether you’re with people or not. Even if you’re alone and not consuming mainstream media or social media, the social influence is still present — in language, the design of a living space, the items around you that were made by others, the way you get your food. It’s inescapable. On a day-to-day basis, we operate largely unaware of the extent of our wider social bonds and roles. This is what makes it absolutely essential to notice our participation in the hive mind and wake up to our individual thought processes to whatever extent we can.
Mercury and the sun move in close this week, encouraging us to communicate who we are even while recognizing that we might not know. So much of our identity is an agreement we make with those close to us and with society at large. What is the part that is you and only you? What is the shape of that autonomous spirit seed deep inside? There’s an opportunity to quiet the inner noise and listen up for the voice that is uniquely your own.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Country outlaw Eric Church has been online sharing hopeful sentiments in song. In his inspiring new release, “Never Break Heart,” he sings: “Don’t let fear steal your brave heart/ Don’t let doubt take your faith heart/ It’s OK to cry/ But don’t never break heart.” The artist was born when the sun and Mercury were in Taurus, a down-to-earth energy symbolized by the bull (ideal for cowboys) and the sign that rules the voice.
