♌ Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22) You will be haunted by the ghost of a decision you nearly made last year. It wears a trench coat and yellow trainers, and speaks in limericks. Offer it a seat and a deal. It’s got stories. Some of them are yours.

â™ Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) You will develop a sudden expertise in ceremonial bylaws. Expect invitations to weddings, sex cults, sports car rallies, and avant-garde tax seminars. Bring snacks.

♎ Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Today you will be asked to arbitrate a dispute between two antique spoons. One believes in destiny, the other in chaos. You’ll side with entropy.

â™ Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Your shadow will begin freelancing as a life coach. It will be more successful than you. Try not to take it personally–it’s just better looking and better at branding.

â™ Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21) You will wake up fluent in a language spoken only during eclipses and awkward silences. Use it to negotiate peace treaties or to order lunch at the Chick-fil-A drive thru.

♑ Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) You will be offered a position as Minister of Ambiguity in a government that may or may not exist. Accept. The benefits include a murder-mystery weekend getaway package and a monthly fog stipend.

â™’ Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18) You will invent a new unit of time based on how long it takes to recover emotionally from reading your unsent emails. It will be adopted by three Scandinavian countries and a rogue meteorologist named Claude.

♓ Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) You will be followed by a parade of minor epiphanies wearing mismatched socks. They’ll chant your name in lowercase. You’ll pretend not to notice, but you will feel seen.

♈ Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) You will attempt to reinvent the concept of “Tuesday” using only a colander, a crooked judge, and a borrowed accent. Success is guaranteed, but only in Latvia.

♉ Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) Today, you will attempt to escape your fears by renting a time share in a snow globe. Your application will be refused. Your aura smells faintly of rotten citrus and unresolved ambition.

♊ Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20) You will host a symposium on “The Ethics of Whispering in Grocery Store Produce Aisles.” Attendance will be ripe, but no one will take notes. One artichoke influencer and her bodyguard will weep openly.

♋ Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) A redheaded stranger will hand you a velvet pouch containing three riddles and a coupon for emotional stability. The answers to the riddles are “only in the South,” “the square root of lonliness,” and “no.” You will forget all of them and lose the coupon.
