The Perils of Sun Square Uranus by Holiday Mathis

Boredom is a kind of rejection of the prevalent features of the moment. You’ve been taught to tolerate boredom, and even mask it and deny feeling it at all. Instead, try to recognize when you’re bored. Take it as a cue to escape either by leaving the situation or by going deeper into it until you hook into a layer more fascinating to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are times to push yourself, give yourself tough-love talks and do the heavy lifting it takes to be an emotional powerlifter. Not today. You’ll go much further with gentle compassion and encouragement.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today’s life path is like a 17th-century stagecoach route, and you’re being jostled accordingly. Try and relax into the bumpy rhythm knowing that this mode is what’s available now; it’s as good as any; and you’ll arrive soon enough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It sounds like a platitude, a mediocre Pinterest infographic that gets shared in moments of halfhearted solidarity. But what if it also happens to be just plain true? You really do deserve more.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People don’t automatically deserve to get all of you. There are parts of your personality that you put on hold when you’re around people who don’t react well to them. This is self-protection and completely within your right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The burning question: Whatever gave you the idea that your life should be anything other than how it is? The faster you can stamp “WRONG” on that, the more empowered, creative and capable of change you will be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Too bad what you really want to say is not appropriate and will not go over well. The good thing is you have self-control on your side, and some equivalent to a diary that locks, so put it all there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relationships are like any other endeavor. If you work them the same way too many times, the routines get dull. The good news is any change, however small, will inject freshness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pick yourself up from that midday shake-up and get right back to the plan. If you don’t have a plan, get back to the dreaming, thinking and believing, and then come up with a plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is said that suspicion haunts the guilty mind. But it also haunts the mind that’s really good at critical thinking and compelled to understand the truth of the situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s this friction going on between thinking and feeling. Seems simpler to give the reins over to one school or the other. Alas, it won’t work. The mind and heart must each hold a strap or this thing won’t gallop.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Plan A probably won’t work, but the alphabet has 25 more letters, give or take, depending on your preferred language. If there’s anything to get better at now, it’s switching to the next plan without much fuss.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have no intention of talking about things that other people don’t understand, and yet it will happen unless you keep checking in to be sure that the last thing computed.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22). Kurt Vonnegut said, “Everything is nothing with a twist.” You savored many wins last year, but there were also losses that you’re still deciding how to handle. You’re so close to turning them into loads of good fortune that all you need is said “twist.” The year brings brilliant creativity and personal achievement. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 50, 33, 21 and 18.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I have a gut-wrenching, wretched crush on someone utterly out of my league. He’s practically famous, or at least very popular in my town. He is gorgeous in every way, physically and heartwise. He could have anyone. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about him, and I can’t go back to sleep. He’s turned me into a distracted zombie. But he’ll never love me back, I just know. I’m not his type. Is there anything I can do to win him? He’s a Pisces, and I’m a Libra.”

Change your thinking about your “league,” as it smacks of a sort of unkind self-assessment that is, quite frankly, beneath you. Get on your own side. The best thing that could come of this crush isn’t getting the guy; it’s getting to know yourself — loving, understanding and pumping up the volume on all those beautiful qualities.

Spend more time with this fantasy Pisces and you’ll settle into a more realistic perspective. He’s just a person, not a god. Use your infatuation to teach you more about who you want to become. Take note of the qualities you ascribe to him because these are the same qualities you want to embody and are growing toward in your own journey.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Restauranteur, author and Emmy-nominated television personality Guy Fieri has announced that he’s bringing a new chicken restaurant to the Music City, and though there are several months till the opening, Nashville, Tennessee, is already singing about it. Fieri is a gregarious Aquarius born when Mercury was also in the people-loving sign of Aquarius. A natal moon in Scorpio brings the spice.
