ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Prominent figures from the past teach power moves you can use in your scene this week. Even complicated characters left useful methods behind. Cleopatra learned other people’s languages. Genghis Khan kept his opponents guessing. You can borrow a few moves without adopting the entire playbook.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
The world is filled with pleasures that exist because someone figured them out long ago. Someone cultivated the grape, perfected the bread and planted the first rose garden. You’ve been limiting yourself unnecessarily. This week, enjoy an old pleasure with new appreciation. You’re the latest in a very long line to taste it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
We honor the dead in speech as many of our expressions, jokes and sayings have been handed down through centuries. It’s lucky to learn a few origin stories. The etymology will be stranger and more entertaining than you expect. A well-timed bit of trivia will start a conversation with someone interesting.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
In some ways, you’ve been reenacting someone’s good idea your entire life. For instance, your family does something in a particular way, though nobody remembers why. Maybe it involves birthdays, guests, packing, cooking or holidays. You attract good fortune as you not only follow tradition but add your own twist to it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You honor your roots when you raid another era for something fabulous. You’re just the one to pull off a silhouette, hairstyle or accessory and give it your own swagger. Your style is one of the ways you shine at all the social events coming at the end of the year. You attract and entertain people, which adds to the good times.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Before there was a product for every problem, people patched, sharpened, soaked, stitched and improvised — a tradition you like to carry on because sometimes the newfangled fix just doesn’t hold like the old one. The metaphor applies to relationships, too, this week. An old-school heart-to-heart will be healing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You’re always keeping the old courtesies alive, not out of nostalgia or even tradition but just because a thank-you note feels like the decent thing to do. Walking someone to the door, giving a gift to the host — it’s classy. Taking care of people is your forte. Making them feel important makes you happy. No wonder you keep getting asked back.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Every family story has missing pages. This week, your curiosity is stirred, and there are people around to fill in a blank or two. They will actually be honored by your curiosity. You could learn a detail that changes your understanding of the whole story and explains something that puzzled you for years.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Technically, you’re always standing somewhere people have been standing for thousands of years. But in some places, the past is just more obvious. Those are the lucky places for you this week — the neighborhood, cemetery, historic building or trail that just gives you serious vibes. You’ll be psychic there.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It’s not that you’re overly attached to furniture or architecture per se, but a sturdy table or beautiful building does make a persuasive case for durability. You’ll be thinking more along the lines of your legacy this week and putting effort into things you hope will last. You’ll give a future stranger something good to inherit from you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The zipper, can opener, traffic light or thermos had to occur to somebody first. You’re the kind of person who has fun solving problems. Your accidental discoveries are extraordinarily lucky this week. There are no mistakes when you’re ready to turn experiments into data. Your open mind is ingenious.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your special connection with music does more than give you a soundtrack to your life you enjoy listening to. Some songs connect you to your heart. Some bands connect you to other people. And enjoying music from bygone eras is part of the bond you share with different generations. This week, you’ll actively work on your musical library.
