Horoscopes: Thursday, March 17, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Anger is a searing emotion that is dangerous to wield yet hurts to hold on to. Sometimes you just have to drop it like it’s hot. It is! Don’t get burned. What would it take to cool this off?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The challenge gets harder. This is happening right on time — you were in danger of becoming bored, or worse, letting your skills get dull. Now you have something to sharpen yourself on and exciting reason to try your best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you are well-aware, things are not always what you expect. Anticipation can be half the fun — sometimes it’s 90% of it. For this reason, you savor these moments of not knowing what’s coming next.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When life messes with your confidence, you see it as an opportunity to get stronger. Avoid seeking validation, acceptance or other forms of external security. Real security comes from within.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You won’t get everyone’s approval and that’s a good thing. It’s better to consider many different points of view. The most successful plans and solutions will come out of a diverse team.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are advantages to being less available. What’s in short supply is more desirable. When people don’t know where they stand with you, they will work to win you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Evidence tells the story of the detective who collected it. True facts can be arranged to form untrue stories. Just because a thing can be proven doesn’t mean it’s the only or the fullest version of the truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The backup plan is taking up too much room. It’s like an unused computer program occupying valuable megabytes that could be spent on a program you do use.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll use resources in creative and fun ways. When it’s time to be compensated, though, you tend to undercut yourself. Let friends and mentors help you set your price.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The amount of energy you have to throw at a problem will have a lot to do with last night’s sleep, your nutritional intake and the current emotional demands. Address these areas to set yourself up for future success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You expect things to go a certain way, though oddly you may not even be aware of these expectations until things do, in fact, not. Unpack it. An exploration into deeper levels of your psyche will be a game changer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Feelings run deep; you’ll speak from the heart, words flowing faster than you can process them. Consequently, even you may be surprised at what you have to say. What seems true in the moment isn’t always so.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 17). You know what you want; this is a blessing to celebrate. You’ll use your talent for interacting with people of different generations. You’ll be enriched by an encompassing understanding of different worldviews; you’ll be paid well for your expertise. You’ll be proud as those close to you thrive and your group remains tight. Libra and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 19, 3, 34 and 39.
