Horoscopes: Friday, March 24, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll make an impression on someone without trying to. In fact, not trying is the secret to your charm. You’ve thought about the image you wanted to portray, but it turns out that you are at your magnetic best when you’re just being yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keeping up with the world can have you feeling simultaneously connected and sad. Choose your input carefully. This is an excellent day to clean up your social media feeds and find sources of news and entertainment that are likely to bring uplift.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Delineations of right and wrong do not seem as clear-cut to you as they once did. To think of morality in terms of helping and harming could make this easier. Who or what will be helped or harmed? Know this before you make your move.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Expecting to get it right on the first try — or the first 10 tries for that matter — is silly, and possibly unkind. Be nice to yourself instead. Give yourself plenty of leeway to try what interests you whether or not you’re any good at it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Step back and let your loved ones learn and do on their own. You have better things to do than get involved in situations that don’t require your input. If you can get it, sunshine and exercise will be the self-care of happiness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just when things were in danger of growing monotonous, as if on cue the tedium is broken by a new challenge. You respond with swift action and a willingness to take risks. You have a way of minimizing the risk in your mind though, so it hardly feels like the courageous act that it is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because you care about someone, their lives and actions have impact on you. You ride along through the range of emotions that they are experiencing. This isn’t necessarily unhealthy codependency; rather, it’s part of the human social bond.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make superb decisions today, the sort that would not be possible had you not learned from past experience, most notably the mistakes. As you continue to build on your yesterdays, you’ll have an advantage in the game of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t see the fascinating aspects of yourself because they all seem so normal to you. However, your lovable quirks, talents and natural gifts will be seen and appreciated by others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When others around you feel comfortable, so do you. You’ll provide a safe space with encouraging words, an affirming smile, a healing touch. This, teamed with a great sense of timing, will make a difference in the lives of others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone has to lead. The one in charge isn’t necessarily any more talented than the others on the team, but they have the role. Respect and defer to authority today because it makes everything run better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Memories are malleable. The way you frame the past can change. It’s best to think of the past in a way that makes moving forward easy. Some of your old stories have become cumbersome and you’ll either lose them or rewrite them.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 24). Welcome to your cinematic year in which you sometimes feel you’re in a movie. You’ll be inspired to record your life — a treat for future you! You’ll sign on for a challenge because you sense it will bring you deeper, more meaningful rewards than the easy route. Correct! More highlights: You’ll be called to an unusual path. You’ll give without remembering and take without forgetting. You’ll be celebrated in song and dance. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 3, 20, 15 and 28.
