Daily Horoscopes

A daily reading for the metro, mood-pieces more than predictions. Refreshed each morning.

Aries

Mar 21 to Apr 19

A door opens because you remembered to push it. A short conversation rearranges the rest of the week. Somewhere near the Stone Arch Bridge. Tomorrow is closer than it feels.

Taurus

Apr 20 to May 20

The body wins the argument with the calendar. You finish a book you started in March. Outside, an east wind off the river. Light one candle, no more.

Gemini

May 21 to Jun 20

A coincidence that is not a coincidence. You learn a new word and use it correctly. Outside, the kind of warmth you don't notice you needed. You did enough. Stop checking.

Cancer

Jun 21 to Jul 22

A quiet kind of confidence arrives without being asked. A meal with one other person does most of the work this week. Soft sheets, hard sleep.

Leo

Jul 23 to Aug 22

A door opens because you walked toward it. A kindness, freely given, makes the day. Outside, a low gray ceiling that doesn't feel oppressive, just close. You were generous. Be generous to yourself, too.

Virgo

Aug 23 to Sep 22

A small repair, twenty minutes, large gain. A friend asks for your help with the exact thing you are good at. Outside, a lake-effect cool that did not exist on the forecast. Quiet, water, sleep. In that order.

Libra

Sep 23 to Oct 22

A small dispute resolves itself before you arrive. You give honest feedback and the friendship survives it. You did not need to win today. Good.

Scorpio

Oct 23 to Nov 21

You see what other people miss this morning. Pretend not to. A confession from someone you barely know. Receive it gently. Somewhere near the Walker sculpture garden. You were right. Stop being right.

Sagittarius

Nov 22 to Dec 21

You consider the long road home and take it. You learn something the hard way and laugh about it later. Somewhere near the line for the Juicy Lucy at Matt's. A short nap of a chapter, then sleep.

Capricorn

Dec 22 to Jan 19

You make an early decision the rest of the day rewards. You are reminded why you do the boring work. Somewhere near the Walker sculpture garden. You will be fine. You usually are. Sleep.

Aquarius

Jan 20 to Feb 18

You start writing a thing you have been thinking about for months. A small revolution at work, instigated by you, in writing. Somewhere near the steps of the Cathedral. The day was good. Stop tinkering.

Pisces

Feb 19 to Mar 20

A small ritual restores you. Do not skip it. You write the long letter. You do not have to send it. A glass of water and a long sleep.
