Horoscopes

 

Pisces 

Do you consider yourself a legend? If so, stop that. This month, letting yourself go is part of the program — getting your story straight is not. Every era has its status symbol: the pocket watch, the manicured dog, the brood of wild-eyed children. You may be entering a new era, one in which status matters less. Instead of an away message, you could do worse than confirming when you’re here.

Aries

This month, your own personal expanded cinematic universe is once again starting to feel tired, overwrought, less delightful. Consider spicing things up with cross-species communication. Conversations with ChatGPT are one thing, but have you heard of trees? As your reputation continues to spiral, remember the limits to what you can do about it. Purchase a bath bomb, but disarm it before use. Emerge from your hovel as you feel the gap between terror and wonder beginning to close.

Taurus

This month, looks like rain, and like you might have been a ghost the whole time. Certain images may require more attention than usual. Have you vacuumed recently, or are you farming that out too? Over and over, your experiments in faux-aristocratic country living, even if virtual, are confirming the most likely hypothesis. The continued existence of ricotta is good news. The bearer of bad news, on the other hand, could use a writer’s room.

Gemini

Instead of serving one of your many trademarked “looks,” think seriously about how you might better serve your community. This month, identify opportunities to stay off the clock. The beginning of sunsets is always a dimming of the light, and the end of festivals are more than anything else a way of shoring up defenses. The difficulty with imagining alternate futures is maybe exactly what needs to be resolved. Forget your regimens and remember instead what animated them in the first place. Ignore your enemies, especially in the afternoon.

Cancer

If the latest in viral content is any indication, you live in a world increasingly peopled by giants and goblins. All the same, you have to eat. What is a goal if not a thinly disguised intrusion by the little despot of your interior? This month, hurl and rally — not literally, but figuratively, within reason, and among friends. Beware of mission creep and expansions of scope. Your new scenarios for success should not involve anything numbering in the trillions, with the exception of gut bacteria. If the sidelines you’re waiting on have not yet come into focus, paint them harder and more deliberately.

Leo

So you’ve made space for climate-focused thinking in your life, and find your mornings lack the urgent energy they once did. Keep in mind that most rocks you encounter are older than the city you live in. Deliver the best news you can, incessantly, to yourself as you prepare to meet the day. This month, stay out of touch. Chrysalis is, once again, critical to your story. Spillover effects are inevitable, not to be avoided or guarded against. “This is so us,” you can say to one household object after another while you explore a broader range of companionship experiences.

Virgo

“Jeremy! I’ve had enough of your hijinks!” Then you wake from the strange dream in which you’re scolding a misbehaving son. This month, consider that your idle fantasies are more likely to contain kernels of secret insight than the countless to-do lists covering every surface of your home and screens. Swapping one future for another remains only course of action available, but you have to actually know what you want. This month, clear the zone.

Libra

Lullaby sectors are, by and large, things of the past. What makes your bedtime ritual any different? This month, equivocate. These people who would have you secure the bag, finagle the palace, demand the corner booth… where did you meet them in the first place? Your marginal capacity for deep retrospection is diminishing, or maybe just distributing across a wider set of activities. Archery is one of many possible diversions.

Scorpio

Uh oh — you’ve left the milk out again. This isn’t strictly speaking your fault, but it is a nuisance, and something worth keeping an eye on. This month, compensate for elevated risk — but watch out for overcompensation, that darker impulse in the corner of your eye. The many round activities you engage in while navigating the effects of one stimulant or another are not all excusable, but their effects might be minimized via lightning round apologia.

Sagittarius

One justification for your recent out-of-touch disaster-mongering is that without an incentive to act, you’re liable to trade away your future for ten more minutes of screen time. Unfortunately for both your baser instincts and the makers of smartphones everywhere, the future is likely worth more than that. This month, inch ever-closer toward somewhere soft to sit. Instead of following your dreams, consider the dreams you wish you had.

Capricorn

Little outcome ecosystems are popping up wherever you go, driving a recurring need for slide decks and bar chart analysis. Can you blame someone? You can, but you shouldn’t. This month, most evenings, have a treat. Hydration will not directly lead to the miracles you were promised, but may make you feel five percent better. As ever, knowing where you’re starting from can be just the thing.

Aquarius

Getting lost in the sauce is only one way of becoming unmoored: there are others with greater and lesser degrees of impact and permanence. This month, fool around. Consider the ways in which the natural world extends beyond the places you typically give credit for. As it turns out, holding your own feet to the fire is a great way to stretch. Bring sunscreen. Moisturize.
