Horoscopes: Wednesday, March 1, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While there are those who resist work, your industriousness exists in you as a basic drive, which today feels equal to the need for food, shelter and companionship. There’s something you must do, and you will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve been the guest, and soon it will be your turn to be the host. The more planning you do in this regard, the better. You have the bright ideas and the organization it takes to execute brilliantly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You haven’t always been given your due care and respect, but you’re not bitter. You’ll be visited by the ghosts of the past, memories you could interpret numerous ways. You’ll choose the most empowering.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Big plans take time to come together. The enormity of a task makes it seem daunting, but the castle is built brick by brick. Faith is an essential ingredient. Believe, keep working, and much will be achieved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re aware of the image you uphold, but you’re also not too proud to do what needs to be done. The work at hand may be tedious and unglamorous, but it is also simple and pays directly, making it well worth the effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make the distinction between compromise and sacrifice or resignation. A compromise will bond the relationship, but giving too much or settling for less than you could have will seed resentment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The schedule may be predictable, but your mood won’t be, and this changes everything. You may do the same action again, but you’re never the same person twice. You’ll surprise yourself in the best ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What you’ve done so far with a project has not worked the way you wanted it to. Now you’ll go about things very differently. Instead of trying to solve the problem, you’ll solve yourself and the problem disappears.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Address the things that are bothering you, ideally with someone who is not involved. This will help you gain perspective. Once you get objectivity on the matter, you’ll see your way to a considerate strategy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The others see the situation much differently than you are seeing it, which turns out to be a very good thing. A wide range of viewpoints makes for a stronger group and, ultimately, more informed decision-making.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As impressive as a person’s accomplishments may be, exemplary characters decide who they want to work and play with based on other criteria. What someone has done is less important than how they treat people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is a rare soul indeed who can love unconditionally, give selflessly and accept the whole of another person. Even if it happens inside a single moment, or a season of life, it’s to be cherished.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 1). Counterintuitively, the most formidable warrior is peaceful inside. The decisive, powerful action you take this year comes from a placid center. You’ll achieve this core of calm through habits and practices aimed at your physical and mental strength. The calm also allows you to love freely, have fun in relationships and make exciting things happen. Libra and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 30, 1, 11 and 12.
