Horoscopes: Saturday, March 1, 2025

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you find yourself putting in extra effort to win someone’s favor, take a moment to step back. Ask yourself if it’s truly worth the energy. It’s not selfish to consider what you gain from the connection or effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Juxtapositions will highlight the unpredictable nature of life, where moments of joy and sorrow can exist simultaneously. What’s important here is empathy and understanding in our shared human experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will balance a broader societal challenge with a deep awareness of collective pain. It prompts a reevaluation of how you celebrate successes and find joy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Fear is a sign that you’re stepping into the unknown — the very place where growth and brilliance take root. And remember, it’s just as important to rest without the weight of needing all the answers right away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The work doesn’t have to be perfect — just finished. Your ambition will carry you through, even if you don’t feel it right now. You meet difficulty head-on, confident in your ability to either tackle the task yourself or learn what’s needed to succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve thought enough about the problem. Give your feelings a chance to solve it. Imagine pushing your emotions forward, in and around the problem and see what you can sense. Trust that new insights will emerge when you let go of overthinking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One way to free up your vitality is to avoid relationships that keep you walking on eggshells out of fear of upsetting anyone. Among your favorite people there are a few fragile, sensitive, touchy, testy types that are best taken in small doses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Often the thing keeping us from solving a puzzle is an assumption. Sometimes you have to let go of what you know to learn the nature of what is really in front of you. What you’ll accomplish requires the instincts of a master codebreaker.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you don’t think you’re progressing, it’s only because progress is happening too slowly for detection. But make no mistake, even if you don’t change a thing about this pace, you’ll still get there. Keep your eye on the prize.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). For those dedicated to growth, fear is a natural and necessary companion. Counter it with helpful, uplifting thoughts. It may not disappear, but that’s OK — you don’t need it to. What matters is that you keep moving forward despite it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The unique tiredness you feel at the grocery store, when every aisle seems to present an endless sea of choices, is called “decision fatigue.” Simpler situations with fewer options will give you the break you need, as will a familiar routine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may fall into a role, fit a description or be easily categorized in some respects, but you are also one of a kind. Getting to know you takes time, and that applies to self-knowledge. You’ll learn something wonderful about yourself today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 1). You’ll often be delighted in the uncommon beauty you see around you in this spectacularly lovely year. Your attitude is a superpower, and a daily practice. You’ll look for the best in people and find that the best people are looking for you. More highlights: You’ll sock away money from an excellent deal. You’ll commit to a challenge and gain strength. You’ll add a hobby and dreamy relationships come with it. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 18, 9, 6 and 7.
