It makes no sense to give yourself to the unreceptive when there are so many in the world who want exactly what you offer. You just have to find them. Ask more questions. Knock ideas around. Notice what yields to your energy. If something swings open, it’s a door. If it doesn’t, it’s a wall. Unless you’re the Hulk or the Kool-Aid guy, you’re better off using doors. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The best perspective isn’t one fixed distance (big-picture, close-up or medium). It’s the capacity to move between them. To zoom in for detail, zoom out for context, and adjust as the situation requires. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today brings a degree of closure. It’s not going to come in the form of an emotional breakthrough. Closure can be simply noticing that you no longer have a certain craving. Closure can be losing the urge to reach for your wallet, click an option, or open a tab. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Keep returning to the same thought and you might get stuck in it. Same for checking an old text thread, rereading messages, replaying a memory, or reanalyzing a situation. What would need to happen for you to put this to rest? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your attention magnifies whatever it lands on, so it’s important to place it on solutions instead of problems. One awkward comment, confusing email or imperfection need not be the source of anxiety or conflict. Focus only on what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may seem strange, but the easiest way to change the story is to change the audience. When you speak to someone who actually listens, you’ll understand what’s working and what needs work. Your message becomes sharper and more helpful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Living in harmony with your true values makes life seem to click. It’s not because of luck, but because you’re finally moving with, not against, the current. Maybe “good fortune” is really just alignment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’d do quite a lot to make a certain relationship work, even change yourself. You’re going to change anyway -- everyone does. So, if it’s a change in a direction you desire, what difference does it make who thought of it first? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Happiness is an unpredictable emergent property. Don’t go at it directly; it will run, and it’s faster than any of us. You’ll build an environment of comfort, care and love and let it come to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For most of human history, people didn’t get to choose whom to follow. Hierarchies and social systems decided for them. Today, many actually have political, spiritual, creative, even digital agency over that, and you will use yours very well now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Any arrangement can look like a mess from a certain angle. Any arrangement can look like a dream from a certain angle. Come back to the “problem” from a different angle. What if it’s actually beneficial? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The biggest barrier to knowledge is believing you already have it. The magic words are, “I don’t know.” Pride prevents some people from saying these words. But why should anyone know more than the knowledge that brought them to this moment? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Boredom can be the very thing that makes your life great. If you were never bored, you wouldn’t be so deeply creative or so wildly adventurous. So don’t rush to fill the void of inactivity today. See what comes up for you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 11). Welcome to your Year of Divine Timing. It becomes the norm for you to arrive at crossroads just as the lights turn green. This will be true both figuratively and literally. What once felt like waiting will reveal itself as exquisite preparation. More highlights: A friendship becomes your biggest fortune. Your work earns applause and bonuses. Romance revives with laughter. Gemini and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 7, 26 and 40.
