Pride’s Bluff
If the prevailing squares have something to teach, it’s that arrogance is just fear wearing a clever disguise. While it’s typical to feel offended or disrespected by a high-handed approach, to see through the bluff provides more opportunity. This behavior is an opening to shake things up and see what comes tumbling down.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re in flow. Everything is working out just as it should, without you even having to try. It’s not luck; it’s your sharp instincts guiding you to the path of least resistance. Like water, you find the easiest way forward.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day has a catchy rhythm: fun, interesting, tedious, boring, then suddenly fun again… almost like the universe playing hopscotch with your energy. Each stage sets up the last for maximum contrast — vivid living!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll see an opportunity where others only see a snag. You’ll see a glitch in the matrix when others are scrolling their phones. You’ll see a groove in their discarded puzzle piece — and it clicks right into the big picture.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Finding common ground in relationships will be strangely difficult today, but don’t sweat it. You don’t have to be alike to like one another. You’ll learn most from those who have led lives different from your own but who share a similar tone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Today feels like riding a unicycle. Sometimes you lean, sometimes you wobble, but as long as you’re moving forward, you’re still going places. You have an innate sense of balance that kicks in to keep you from falling.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re hesitant to request what you need because the words will highlight its absence. You can avoid asking by pretending your heart’s desire is already yours. It works even better than asking today, as you somehow attract the solutions by embodying them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of trying to get more accomplished by pushing yourself harder, think about how you can support yourself better. Compassion starts with the tenderness you afford yourself in your own schedule.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Learning is challenging, but unlearning old habits is even harder. This is why you’re very careful about what to add to your life, and even more careful when it comes to what to repeat. If you wouldn’t want it every day, don’t have it today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today stirs a memory buried deep within you. There’s an invisible thread between the present and the past, and the connections will pull you in ways both subtle and strong.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a time for high standards and a time to throw out the requirements completely because compassion will get you further. You don’t have to be perfect to be excellent. Be as generous to yourself as you are to others.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Enjoying someone’s company doesn’t always mean it’s easy to be around them. You’re willing to be a little uncomfortable at times — or to extend yourself for another person’s comfort, for the sake of relationship building.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Nepotism can give a unit ease in communication, as family members tend to have shortcuts of language and expression to give one another immediate understanding of the situation. Familiarity can also breed contempt — oh, the complicated glory of family.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 8). Prioritize your needs, feed your whims and be creative whenever possible. Everything else blossoms from your beautiful core connection with spirit and self. More highlights: You’ll reconfigure finances to excellent effect. A long-term pursuit takes you to places beyond your wildest imagination. You’ll turn 10 strangers into people who play a special and distinct role in your life. Aries and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 20, 5 and 41.
