The Art of Getting Lost
Before GPS, getting lost was common. Now we're so guided by technology that we rarely feel disoriented. You almost have to choose to get lost, and it's highly recommended under this water sign trine of Mercury and Jupiter, activating intuition over conventional directions. Wander without a map, explore, go off-course. This is the novelty that keeps the spirit vibrant.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because the door is stuck doesn't mean it's locked. Jiggle it. The first pushback you get is just the price of entry. What's uncomfortable at first is necessary and will build the character you need to take on more of the journey.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Whatever you feel, it enables you to recognize it in others. That recognition builds empathy and softens the walls between people. However you feel today, it will enrich you, teach you, help you bond and clear the scene for new creation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What isn't said, the pauses, the spaces between details -- that's where imagination lives. The magic lies in the gaps. It applies to well-told stories, steeped in mystery. Also, in relationships that leave room for wonder and spontaneity.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes it's tricky to teach people how to treat you. You don't have to be perfect at it. If all you do is move away from what drains you and toward what delights you, that will make a difference in your life and relationships.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today's success secret: treat your energy like data. Track what's paid work, what's chosen generosity, what's play. Knowing which is which lets you balance fairly, instead of unconsciously giving away too much.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're drawn to the edges today -- the ideas that challenge, people who surprise, places that feel outside the ordinary. It's here you'll find the spark that invigorates you, reminding you that wonder thrives where comfort ends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's not wrong to want. Desire gives you a direction. It pulls you forward like a magnet. You may not know how to get what you want, but naming the wanting is the first brave act of creation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most breakthroughs start as bad ideas. Don't censor yourself too quickly. The messy drafts are the ones with great originality. The silly questions bond you to the others. The far-fetched notions inspire. These are the stepping stones to greatness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind is hungry for novelty. Not all novelty nourishes. But you're pretty amazing at distinguishing between distraction and discovery, which you'll have to basically all day long today. Just remember: One fills time, the other expands you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may not think of someone as a competitor, but they may think of you this way. Do they give you the chance to shine? Or do they focus in on lesser attributes or even flaws? Do they seem afraid of what will happen when the attention shifts from them to you?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's been a while since you experienced serenity and tranquility for a significant stretch. You deserve this, and yet such moments will not come unless you plan for it. Carve out this time for future-you and protect it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Leadership may put you in first in the line, but not always, and anyway it's not about leading the charge; it's about leading the way. The first to laugh, the first to forgive, the first to try... these are the moves people will take their cues from today.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 24). Welcome to your Year of Bold Brilliance. It's not that you're loud or do any PR or marketing; it's that your work is so outstanding it has unmistakable impact, bringing the results that mean most to you. Bursts of brilliance come through your routines; a morning walk, a kitchen experiment, a late-night brainstorm. More highlights: Small rebellions add up to freedom. You're handed a leadership role without asking for it. A new friend feels like a soulmate. Virgo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 28, 36 and 45.
