Today’s daily horoscopes: March 16, 2024

Existential boredom is a kind of painless pain, not acutely felt as a sensation, but as an ache of the soul. This is why, for many, empty time is unbearably uncomfortable. Even so, the challenge, under this Gemini moon, is to defy distraction and feel the space. Emptiness is pure potential. Get rid of things before you have a replacement. The void invites your creative future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While it will not serve you well to overreact, it will benefit you entirely to over-respond. The success move is to know your purpose and take it further than is necessary. Go the extra mile, double-check, be generous and you’ll create good fortune for all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Flexibility serves you. Stay light on your feet, so to speak, so you’re ready to pivot to take advantage of spur-of-the-moment opportunities. You’ll find support for your plans, especially the ones that involve getting healthier, more organized and more efficient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The moment you decide to take responsibility for a problem it ceases to be a problem and transforms into a task, and a much lighter one than anticipated. You’re excellent at following through and you’ll make quick work of it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The garden, the riverbank, the bridge over dark waters… spiritual metaphors you’ve known well. When you come to them again, you’ll know just what to do: grow, wash, cross.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As though it were named just to remind you of its essence, “the present” is a gift you can only appreciate in real time. You’ll wander in and out of today’s present moments and learn something about attention in the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be reminded of what money can and can’t do. It’s entirely possible to pay for a lifestyle, though impossible to pay for anything having to do with the essence of life, including time, feelings or vitality, which are beyond monetary exchange.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you wonder who you would be without the roles and duties you take on. Trust that they matter, though don’t give them undue importance. Give a nod to the unchanging you at the core of all this, animating it with love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Things are different because of you. It’s impossible to make a move without making an impact. Focused on the journey ahead, the boat captain ignores the vessel’s wake. Waves form nonetheless.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Looks, money and power rank high on many people’s lists of attractive qualities, but you’ll gravitate toward something else entirely. Charm, talent, humor and warmth with rank high for you and you’ll find it, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can be an open book or a closed one, depending on how much you trust the “reader.” Guarding yourself is an act of love. Some won’t see it that way, so remind yourself; you don’t owe anyone information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Something that only takes a moment or two, for instance keeping your keys in the same place consistently or writing down all appointments, will yield a huge return on your investment of effort.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The fates conspire to get you to a destination that’s about as perfect for you as can be. It may look so ordinary, or indeed be the place you see every single day lately. When Dorothy finally got back to Kansas, all was well.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 16). Collaborative work and team victory are in store. Your need of adventure, fun and affection will be addressed in exciting ways. More highlights: Your charm and empathy make you a natural at relationships. Making people feel seen and valued is a specialty that will bring healing to the group and rich reward to you. Aquarius and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 42, 35 and 13.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: As Lorelai Gilmore on “Gilmore Girls,” Lauren Graham leaned into her maternal Jupiter in Cancer to play a coffee-loving single mother. Graham, who is also an author of several books, radiates Piscean empathy through her every artistic expression. “You know, I feel like we get so bogged down by being right. And I think what we don’t hear enough is being kind. Being kind is so much more important than being right.” — Lauren Graham
