Horoscopes: Friday, March 1, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to be an irreverent disrupter to see the value in adding some levity to the serious tones you move through. This can be a way of coping with something that might otherwise be difficult. Your humor helps more than just you.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re so inspired by what you love, you will produce a kind of sublime echo of it. This could happen with minimal awareness on your part, and there’s no shame in the imitation, as you’re putting your own spin on things.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Prioritizing gets tricky because truly important things go masquerading as ordinary and simple aspects of the day. The one to tackle first will bring you back to the basics of who you are, why you’re here and what you want.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your reactive mind has served you well on many occasions so it’s only natural to relax into those natural responses. But you’re also trying to be different in some ways. Today you’ll press the pause button and consider different manners of reacting.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Think ahead, make a plan and hold your dearest intentions at the forefront of your mind. Your ability to shut out distractions and focus intently for many hours at a time will win you a prime position or assignment.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you think you should be doing and what you are really doing may be two different things. When you’re not on track, it doesn’t mean you are misbehaving; it just means you’re capable of more.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s much coming to you inside a package labeled “work.” Love, friendship, respect, adventure and fulfillment are just some of the many perks in this package deal. So it’s a good thing you signed on to do a little more than usual.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have the courage to move forward with a good plan, but the current one isn’t passing muster. Better to go back to the drawing board than to move forward with ideas that won’t take you where you want to go.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Stress contributes to your decision-making process. You’re unlikely to repeat a series of actions that causes you anxiety even for a big reward.        

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are those who would lead you to believe that what you’re trying to accomplish is complicated, when in fact it’s pretty simple. You’ve already nailed the hardest part — being brave enough to take action.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be caught up in dreams of what you could create with another person. Technically, you could create these same things alone, or with someone else entirely. Be open minded. In a sense, you’re a producer, waiting for the perfect cast.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes objectivity is easily obtained, sometimes not. Knowing this, you won’t expect another person to abandon attachments and see things from your point of view even though you’re able to do so without effort.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 1). There’s a blast of magic in your work life, which is, of course, not always the same as what you do for money. You turn the work of being human into a graceful dance. More highlights: Five instances of thrilling acquisition. You’ll dance in creativity and unveil a masterpiece. The ones you care for will thrive, heal, produce and make you proud. Aquarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 4, 25, 17 and 38.
