Horoscopes: Monday, Feb. 27, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The best way to figure out someone’s motive is to put yourself in their shoes. As a detective working a case might, you’ll conduct a recreation of sorts to tease your mind into coming up with answers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll become directly involved in the sort of scenario you once dreamed about. Things are different in this hands-on position. There are stressors you hadn’t considered, and many benefits that surprise you as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a unique contribution to bring to the world, but it’s not something that’s fixed or a treasure hidden in you that you must discover. It’s more like a meal that you make as you go with the ingredients available.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The absurdity of life is not lost on you. You’ll take the weird parts and weave them into your plan, and then sit back and be amused at the interesting way it all plays out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most things you can fall into (including luck, love, a rhythm, a rut, a mood, debt) require some sort of surrender. You’ve come to a slippery slope. Keep a tight grip as you assess the nature of what you could potentially be getting into.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Dramatic change due to large-scale efforts is rare compared to the change that comes of small daily moves in a particular direction. Results may be undetectable over the course of the week but radical given months and years.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you give someone a little extra pause after they are finished speaking an idea, they will often go further. You’ll get more information by waiting for it than you will by asking for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What used to give you a charge now has very little emotional energy to it. Outgrowing certain influences is a natural progression of life. This might have to do with a teacher. Seek teachers that challenge and inspire you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The gatekeeper isn’t necessarily an enemy or a friend, but merely the one who provides criteria for entry. You will learn about the expectation at hand and use it to strengthen your resolve and sharpen your skill.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Writing and transportation are two themes of the day. Through writing you can transport yourself and others to a different headspace. And through physical transportation you get the inspiration to write.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Like looking everywhere for the glasses that are sitting atop your head, sometimes thinking something is missing inspires futile searching. Check yourself. Chances are, what you’re looking for is already inside you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The next step is logical, and don’t wait until you have the confidence to do it either. Don’t worry, the courage might kick in or it might not, but you don’t need to believe you can do it to accomplish it. You just need to move.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 27). Hafez, the 14th century poet, wrote: “How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all its beauty? It felt the encouragement of light against its being.” You will be the sun at times and the rose at other times. A windfall is imminent. Your idea will get funding. You’ll spend months readying yourself for an event. Scorpio and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 17, 3, 30 and 10.
