Aries (March 21-April 19): Others may hit your sore spots easily today. Someone you’re interacting with now could remind you of a different person who mistreated you earlier in your life. If it seems plausibly productive, you might talk to your current provocateur and get their side of the story. Be level-headed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): A conflict over routine tasks could grow much bigger than you’d expect. A critical comment, no matter how gently it’s worded, might trigger shame regarding an ongoing struggle you have. Politely leaving the conversation may be the wisest path.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Performing for your peers may be disappointing today. You probably won’t receive the approval you crave. Your audience might be in a bad mood for reasons that aren’t about you. Don’t interpret the situation as a statement regarding your value as a person.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Asserting yourself could make you more frustrated than you already are. You’ll be told that your efforts are causing pain to a wounded victim who can’t handle it. You might privately know that there’s more to the story. Trying to share that openly may only increase the flow of disapproval raining down on you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): A seemingly innocent question you receive today isn’t all that innocent. You might recognize that your interrogator is subtly goading you to reveal your private beliefs on a controversial issue. Anything you say in response will potentially be turned against you. Try to stay neutral.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Comparing yourself to peers is hard to resist today. You may find that everyone else seems to have achieved financial or material benchmarks that you haven’t. You might blame people who let you down in the past. Remember, you don’t know your rivals’ whole story.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might believe that successfully pulling off a dramatic achievement today would convince someone who’s giving you a bad time that they picked on the wrong person. Your tormentor likely has issues that aren’t about you. You could still wind up with progress to take pride in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Getting rest could be urgent, but you’re likely to resist it. You may be convinced you can’t afford to take time away from your duties. Your beliefs about your responsibilities are more oppressive than the responsibilities themselves. If no one else is coming down on you, tell yourself to knock it off.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Your friends’ efforts to bring you out of your shell could rub you the wrong way today. Someone might push for too much too soon. Rein in this dynamic by proactively figuring out what you are able to give without feeling invaded and offering that outright.

Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): You may currently want the world to recognize a struggle you’ve had. You aren’t guaranteed to receive total vindication, but you could be also praised for accomplishments you’ve accumulated along the way. This will give you a new perspective on the whole drama.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You crave adventure today, but you might have too much going on in your regular schedule to break away. You could be tempted to make snarky comments to anyone who appears unencumbered.They’re not living with the goal of getting a reaction from you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): An attempt to relate to someone else in an unbalanced way could get called out now. You might be pushing another person to open up to you regarding personal matters. Even if your motivations are positive, this can also look like a grab for power. Be honest with them and yourself about what’s happening.
