ARIES (March 21-April 19). Let go of keeping score. Life will fail every test of perfect fairness. Give what feels right to give. Ask for what you want in return. Then judge each relationship by how you feel and what you learn inside it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There will be tattered edges where ideals meet realities, not to mention roadblocks, dead ends and detours. Let go of the idea that a good life must follow the plan you once made. You can always draw up a new one.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Let go of performing for an audience you have outgrown. Your humor may change. Your interests may wander. Follow what fascinates you now. You get to develop new tastes without anyone else’s approval.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Let go of your family story as the definitive account of who you are. As loving as they may be, when they look at you, they see who they need, want or expect to see. Besides, the whole of you could never be confined to a role.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Let go of the version of events you have explained a hundred times. You have made your case. Leave the evidence on the table and walk away. You have better things to spend your time and energy on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Let go of proving that you earned every pleasure. In this life of cycles, we must seize joy when it’s available, knowing that it won’t always be. Buy the flowers. Lollygag. Eat up. You made enough sensible choices.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Let go of a joyless responsibility that was imposed on you. You were meant for the responsibility that honors your talents and strengths and makes you feel fulfilled as you give it your very best.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Let go of keeping an old hurt available for reference. You already know what happened. You know what it taught you. Past you would have chosen one thing, but present you has other ideas. Start the fresh page.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Let go of beliefs you inherited before you knew enough about life to examine them properly. Pick one assumption and hold it up to your experience. Keep what rings true. Release the rest.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Let go of an old definition of success. Decide what you want your days to be like. Start there. A title can impress people for a minute. It’s the quality of your work and results that keeps them coming back.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Let go of belonging everywhere you once belonged. You don’t need to keep the keys to apartments you’re never going to live in again. Thank the people who mattered there. Take the memories with you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Let go of the promise you made to an earlier version of yourself. You made it with the information you had then. Look at your life today and come up with terms that make sense for where you are and where you want to be.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22). In your Year of the Lucky Cricket, small choices produce wonderful fortunes. You’ll have a knack for landing in the right place, meeting generous people and sensing which opportunity deserves your leap. More highlights: A happy household grows happier. You’ll develop talents and relationships at the same time. Mutual admiration and love — exquisite. Leo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 1, 11 and 50.
