Today is horoscope 1,627. Detailed readings for your Sun, Moon and Rising Sign.
Aries (March 20-April 19) — Give partners and loved ones some room to maneuver emotionally; in common parlance, they need some space. Most of the space they need is from you thinking you know how they feel, when they don’t even know how they feel. Also you cannot assess the challenges they face, because they are only beginning to put together certain elements of their situation. And what they are involved with only partly involves you. It’s true that you have power and influence that neither of you have recognized yet, and I suggest you proceed with awareness of those concealed facts. One property of the digital world is just about everyone proceeding like they know everything. This overshadows any awareness of the possibility of missing information. There is plenty that you’ve been missing — and still are missing, but you won’t learn anything until you admit that.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — You must be good for your word on any commitments made recently. It’s true that circumstances and your feelings have likely changed, related to something you promised to do (whether professionally or personally). But there are times when your feelings are irrelevant and commitment is everything. This is one of them. You may be able to negotiate certain elements of the arrangement, but one thing is certain: you’re being counted upon. And though on balance, this matters little in our era, it must matter to you. Partly this is about establishing the solid ground of relationships. But it’s also about how you view yourself. Are you someone who is reliable and confident in that fact? You will not be happy being a flake in any sense of the word. Along these lines, make a list of everything you’ve promised to others and get going on fulfilling those commitments, beginning with long overdue conversations.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — You gotta do what you gotta do, and you’re clever enough to be effective and not knock yourself out. Therefore, know your emotional and practical limits and work within them, pushing them a little if necessary. A little, not a lot. That means pace yourself; nothing has to happen today or even over the next few days, so you have time to get the work done. Psychology is involved; work with people where they are, speak their language and know what motivates them to act in their own best interests. Along the way, take care to assure that their best interests also line up with your own, which will not be difficult if you are paying attention. Seek common ground and work from there. You can do that without dealing yourself any disadvantages. You may have a strategy now, but make sure you keep reassessing it under the rapidly changing conditions of Mercury and Venus changing directions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — The essence of good sex is communication. Couples who can have an honest conversation can also have excellent sex. They’re the same thing. (Preparing food together also helps.) As Swami Anand Veereshwar wrote, “Only truth is erotic.” We can turn this around: if people are paranoid about sex, the best thing they can do to keep it away is lie to one another. Speaking of Swami Anand, his article about jealousy was given to me by an important teacher named Joe Trusso (without whom I would be worthless as an astrologer). Somewhere back in time, I had a girlfriend who seemed to not be capable of experiencing orgasm. So I brought that into a session with Joe and asked what he thought was going on. He said, “What is she not saying?” As our whole society sinks into a vast sea of erotic ice water, that is indeed the question. What are we not saying? What are you not saying that you simply must say?

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You cannot possibly be this insecure — or can you? Uh, yes, you can. Your emotions and confidence level seem to rise and fall like the 100-foot tides at the Bay of Fundy. But this tends to happen when you’re self-obsessed. Get your mind off of you and you’ll feel a lot better. You will not only realize it’s not so bad, it’ll actually feel good when you free up your energy and do something exciting. Start by getting out of the house. Continue by meeting new people and getting a feeling for who they are. It does not matter if it’s the person bagging your groceries, a cop walking around town, the librarian or someone you run into randomly at the bank. Stop and have a conversation. Listen to what people are saying and draw inferences based on what they reveal about what they feel. Slip into their moccasins and their state of mind, and walk with them for a mile.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — The best thing you can do for yourself is to see things from the viewpoint of someone else — perhaps several other people. It doesn’t matter if you’re exactly right; just do what you can to put yourself in their situation and ask how they might feel or respond. Virgo is often narrow in focus, especially under the influence of the special point Transpluto. But you can learn something from your opposite sign Pisces, which tends to be circumspect. It has been said that there are two sides to every story, and the truth. What a load of bullshit! Try this on: there are 12 sides to every situation, plus additional views from above and below (which matter the most). I agree with Don Juan Matus that one of the enemies of humanity is clarity, by which he meant false clarity that you think is real. That is simply a fixed viewpoint when you dearly need a moving one.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — There are rare moments in life when changing one’s state of mind changes everything, and you’re in one of them now. When this happens in some dramatic form, you are reminded that it could happen any time — and you wonder why it does not. It seems so easy; you change your mind about something and then the whole world is a different place, problems are no longer problems, and you see your points of agreement with others. And all of this because you changed your state of mind — or maybe it was that your state of mind changed. There are many examples of this in physics, in nature and in various forms of problem solving. People use the term “thinking outside the box” imagining that it’s a cardboard box of some kind. Look up that term. There is also the issue of valence. You are currently running a negative charge and in less than one day that will flip to a positive charge. Make sure you notice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — The question is what to do with the information that has come to you, or that is soon to arrive. It is sometimes said that knowledge is power, but frankly I have not heard that expression in a long time. And I know why. It’s because every one is drowning in what a goddamned genius they are thanks to the devil in their pocket known as Chat. But this is “knowledge” just like Twinkies are a “French pastry” or Mobil 1 is fine olive oil. Thanks to Mercury turning to direct motion in your sign, you’re about to learn something significant, on which many other decisions are hanging in the balance. For that to benefit you, you need a concept of significance, which is one among many things that has also mostly bitten the dust. There is a second element to this: Venus turns direct as well. Here, you will discover something about a close partner that you must — absolutely must — keep in confidence and never use to gain an advantage over them. The Lords of Karma are watching you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Don’t be afraid to totally rethink your plan. It may seem good, glorious and perfect and contain a flaw that will prevent it from coming to fruition. Of course you may never know unless you try, but if you’re contemplating something that is so bold and so brilliant that it cannot possibly fail, you’re missing something. It’s also crucial that you not take pride in what you have not accomplished — that feeling contains a wide diversity of blind spots that will thwart your creative process and basic business logic. Last and surely not least, you may have the idea that the public will just love whatever you’re doing. In fact you have to earn that trust and that bond not just by what you do and how you feel about it, but with the results that you get for others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — It is possible that when Venus and Mercury turn to direct motion, you will start a reaction or process that you cannot easily control. That is, you will not be able to direct it very well after it has started, but you have quite a bit of influence over it before that time. You are in the first of a series of beginnings, and the thing you can influence are the conditions at the outset. Pay attention to those. Set up the kitchen, get your ingredients ready, and make sure you have a little extra of what you need. Also, remember this: for where you are at now, a little is a lot. You don’t need much energy to slightly alter your trajectory. The biggest mistake you can make is over-compensating, or what accident investigators call over-correcting. Just use a little salt or little taps of thrust.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You might inquire with yourself about the nature of recent struggles in a partnership. Are you being too demanding? Are you trying to address interpersonal matters with the use of power or force? One way to assess this is if you’ve got a list of grievances. I suggest you burn it and start over, or emphasize your own independence of thought and action outside of any relationship — especially if a group is involved. You clearly have ideas of your own that you want to accomplish. There may or may not be others who support you at this time. That’s irrelevant at the moment; what matters is taking responsibility for your actions and your choices. It’s up to you to establish your reputation based on what you do. Then when the time comes to enlist others, there is the element of leadership, which requires a political sense beyond being contrarian.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — The Sally Brompton horoscope for Pisces earlier this week advised making sure you stay competitive on the work front by keeping up with new technology. Though she could not say so, she was describing the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in Leo, your house associated with work and wellness. I agree with her assessment: we live in a technological society, and it’s my opinion that rapid advances are giving all the wrong people the advantages. However, when you handle any technology, it’s necessary to understand its dangers, its negative effects, its invisible effects, and its true cost. When you know those things, you might or might not choose to use it, but at least you would be making an informed choice. That’s the thing that hardly anyone bothers with; both individuals and society plunge into the future with little concern for the future. Certain factors in the technology environment give you real power. Use it wisely.
