Horoscopes

by the Canadian Pie Astrologer

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You couldn't stop thinking if you wanted to -- and why would you want to? A lot can be achieved when a powerful mind such as yours is put to creative use. Even if you can see right through your friends today, let them have their secrets. You know what's up and that's enough for now. With your pumped up psychic powers, you have the gift of getting right to the heart of the problem. This gift will come in handy when a friend needs you this evening.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Cover all of your bases today, Taurus. Your reputation may be on the line, but just where that line falls is difficult to determine. Dishonest or sneaky actions could bring on unpleasant consequences from the adults in your life. Avoid getting grounded by exercising moderation in all things, and by finishing anything that you have already started. If you don't take care of what needs to be done now, things could get drawn out for a long time to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Sometimes a little suspicion can be a good thing. You need to look beneath the surface in your relationships to find out what is really going on. You may be the one who's sneaking around for the answers, or someone could be spying on you in order to figure out your secrets. Be sure to change passwords on your computer and lock that diary. This is a good day to think about your past, your present, and the thoughts that you hold captive in your mind -- not everything in there is worth keeping. You'll gain a sense of freedom through letting go.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Put some thought into it, and present someone you care about with an unexpected treat today. It could be anything from a material gift to a compliment. You'll end up getting more than you gave, just through the warm feeling that you'll get from giving. Someone of the opposite sex may not be all that he or she boasts to be. If you get a strange feeling out of nowhere that this person is out to use you -- trust it. Run away! Choose your company carefully today.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Someone in your life may not be as trustworthy as you had hoped. A glance underneath the surface may turn up some facts you would have preferred to overlook. Friendship can be a huge burden when there are strings attached. Try not to be possessive with this relationship. Trying so hard to hold onto it might be the very thing that causes you to lose it. Stay calm until you can see things more clearly. Look at this moment as practice for a time when even greater things may be at stake.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Now that you have completed that big school project, it's time to sit back, put up your feet, and rest for a while, Virgo. Although you didn't choose the most direct route, your wanderings off the beaten path worked to your advantage. Be proud of the fact that you found the strength to continue with steadfast determination. Your persistence and excellent sense of direction impress your teachers. You know what's important to you right now. Remember to hold this in your mind when you finish your break and move forward again

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) Taking on a challenge in your love life could lead to an emotional payoff. It will feel like Spring inside, as your feelings bloom and begin to take root in the fertile soil of your soul. You'll want to express the inspiration you feel in poems, songs, and love letters. Exercising your creativity will help you to steer clear of negative indulgences and deal with any challenges that may come up. If you want a break from reality, grab a pal and go see a movie this evening. Be good to yourself.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) A challenge at home takes up your mental, physical, and emotional energies today. Even though you don't remember getting on this roller coaster, you're already strapped in. Hold on tightly -- you're in for a wild ride. Trust others, but know when to fall back on your own resources. Family relationships may cause you some stress today. Taking the time to work out important issues before going to sleep will help you avoid dreaded insomnia. Be flexible and try your best to see both sides of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) You are a fountain of wit and charm today. You'll be surprised at the enthusiasm that people give back to you in response. Your powers of persuasion are at their most powerful. Use your ability and influence to help others -- the more creative the idea, the better it will work. Take on a community project; raise some cash for charity, or work with a group to instill a sense of pride in your neighborhood. Every action you take will make a difference. No act of giving is powerless.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) Today you may struggle with an inner battle between right and wrong. Who should you listen to? The little red guy on one shoulder, or the one dressed in white on the other? The problem is you're not sure which one is doing the talking. It may not be a simple black or white issue. There are several shades of gray to choose from. Only you can decide which direction you will go while at this crossroad. You do have some time to choose directions. Waiting may be the best choice today.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) You may fool yourself into thinking that doing something sneaky is all right -- as long as you can get away with it. You might have delusions that cheating, lying, or manipulating will bring you the happiness you've been seeking, but think twice. Before you go against your own morals, examine other ways of getting what you need. The better way to solve your dilemma may be hidden for now. It will only be found through careful study of the situation. Don't do anything until you are certain it is the right thing to do.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Let your fertile imagination free you from the confines of reality today. Life has become temporarily overwhelming -- perhaps due to the holidays -- and your dreams have become strange. Don't worry too much about them. It's just your subconscious mind helping you to get through this stressful time. Indulge yourself in an artistic pursuit you haven't made time for recently. You end up proving something to yourself, even if no one is watching.
