Reflections of a Trine

It is easier to be nice at certain times of day. It is easier to be nice when particular needs are already met. It is easier to be nice when others have been nice to you. Would you give a pass to people dealing with circumstances that might make it more difficult to go forward in good cheer? Such compassionate affordances are the marks of good character made noticeable in the reflection of today’s water trine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The song you liked yesterday just doesn’t energize you the same way today. And were you to eat the same delicious meal, it simply wouldn’t sate your appetite as it did before. You are new, and so it is time to find new delights.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You take your responsibilities seriously, and you expect others to do the same, though it doesn’t matter in the least until their responsibility connects in some way to your own. Such will be the case today, affording you the opportunity to use advanced communication skills.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t be too quick to call out your strengths, and be even more reticent to name your weaknesses. Truth be told, you are among the least qualified people to judge the matter. Here comes the encouragement to expand far past former limits.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Diamonds over cubic zirconia, real flowers over silk, love over digital hearts… but what about when the genuine article isn’t available? You’ll find there are some things you’re actually much happier without, no stand-in necessary.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As much as you hate to admit it, the ding of a text can send a rush of dopamine through you if you happen to look down and see the right name attached. Bottom line: You still care if they still care.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You prize humor, encouragement, optimism and initiative. You’ll find these qualities and more in the people around you today. As you work together for a common result, they inspire you to new heights.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The first step in getting unstuck is realizing that you’re stuck. Being immobile is not enough of a hint, since stillness doesn’t always indicate an inability to move. To find out if you’re really stuck, try to leave.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just because you don’t have much contact with a thing doesn’t make it less vitally important in the moment you need it. Passports, titles of ownership, birth certificates, etc., prove the point, and so does a certain memory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Thinkers might linger in doubt, but it’s the doer who crosses the finish line. Having a smart plan is optimal, but any plan or no plan at all will do, too, because when you’re taking action, instinct kicks in to lead the way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If so-and-so does it, you’re game to try it, too. But if the other one is into it, it’s a no-go for you. This only proves the point that the “who” matters more than the “what” today, and you’ll plan accordingly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s more fun to look for things that seem to want to be found. In contrast, what doesn’t want to be found provides a joyless search. For this reason, before you embark on a quest, assess the energy and weigh the merits of the endeavor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do you want too much? Are you consuming too much? Do you simply have too much? These are the questions you ask yourself because you already know the answer, though you may need to work up more gumption to remedy the situation.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 4). You try on new roles this year and will be entrusted with duty that will honor you. Also, you’ll finally be relieved of a burden that allows room for a new hobby and relationship. More highlights: glamorous gatherings, generations helping and educating each other to create a tomorrow of peace and togetherness, and a debt paid in full. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 12, 4, 49 and 32.
