Horoscopes: Thursday, March 9, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Comfort is loose clothes and tight relationships. It feels good and cozy, until it doesn't. Because comfort is a little messy. When that line is crossed, comfort changes to discomfort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed. You have been a part of many transformations, whether you know it or not. Today, change will occur around you, through you, because of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one skill that has the potential to enhance (or ruin) your life is knowing how to find good relationships and avoid bad ones. Learn the skill and thrive.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you believe about people is what you know about them. All your questions and observations will follow the prior belief. Drop preconceived notions to the extent that you can, and ask again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Let others coast down Easy Street while you take the mountain pass. Challenge is good for mind, body, and soul. And you're attractive to others as you take it on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In the words of the Talking Heads, "You may ask yourself, How did I get here?" Any answer you come up with will oversimplify things, but it's still good to ask.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you like someone but you can't put your finger on why, give yourself a shake and try to reason it out. Relationships (business or otherwise) based on a person's charisma will be regrettable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your social nature is amplified today. You like to get to know people, which is different from trying to figure out "their deal" so you can offer advice and fix it (like some people you know).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The bottom line: Predictability that would make you feel secure would also bring a level of boredom so severe it could be classified as dangerous.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just when you thought you knew where you were going, a fog descends, and you cannot see the destination. You have to trust your map, engage your senses, proceed with caution.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll see the big picture today. For better or worse, the world is on a fast track to change, and your role within it is changing, too, as you see new ways to help, contribute, get what you need.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes it's beneficial to your creative spirit to reason about unreasonable things. Today it's pointless. If the problem is logical, solve it through logic. And if it's not, feel your way through.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 9). The love you give will be sweetly received and redoubled. A trip you take before June will be magical. There's an exciting change in your professional life in April. One good relationship could change the whole trajectory. There's good fortune to be mined in familial events. Together, you'll build something unique. Capricorn and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 5, 33, 17, and 21.
