♈ ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
“Dear Oracle: My secret terror is being ordinary. I need to be special, and lately I'm worried I'm just average and unremarkable. That thought is repugnant to me! Can you offer any advice? —Afraid of Average." Dear Afraid: The pressure to be extraordinary is exhausting because it's the wrong goal. Your birthright and your life assignment aren't about being special in the sense of better-than. You’re simply meant to be vividly, generously, amazingly yourself. In the coming weeks, I invite you to trade the anxious hunt for superiority for the warm, throbbing joy of full self-expression. Shine because it feels fantastic, not to outrank anyone.
