ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20
Timing is everything, Aries. Even though you are anxious to start something big, this might not be the right moment for it. You’ll benefit from stepping back to reassess.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21
You are craving comfort, but growth is just outside of your range, Taurus. This week, a financial focus pays off. Don’t ignore your gut when it comes to a financial matter.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
You may be charming and magnetic right now, Gemini, but are you paying attention to what other people are saying? It’s time to listen more than you’re speaking.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
Emotions are running strong right now, Cancer. It is alright to be passionate. Your intuition will be heightened, but do your best to take a measured approach in the days ahead.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, it’s important to remember that, while the spotlight loves you, not every stage is meant for a solo. Share the attention midweek and others will love you even more for it.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, perfection can wait right now, even if you are craving ultimate order. Embrace progress even if it doesn’t come in a polished form. Say yes to a new opportunity.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, you are balancing a dozen things. This seems like a pattern for you, but avoid overextending yourself. Speak up and advocate for your needs.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
You are focused and quiet working behind the scenes this week, Scorpio. Some people need to be flashy with fanfare, but that’s not you right now. Relish in the quiet success.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21
You might be fired up with fresh ideas, Sagittarius. Just be sure your vision is rooted in reality. Write it down and stay open to feedback. It’s best to avoid spontaneity right now.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, you’re bound to tire out if you don’t pace yourself. Delegate things when you can, especially by the end of the week. A surprise compliment at work brings joy.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, let your curiosity lead you somewhere new. Someone different from your usual crowd could offer unique insight that you hadn’t considered previously.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, creative energy is high right now, especially around Wednesday. You’re close to a creative breakthrough, but you might need a practical play to get there.

Editor
O’Rourke Media Group is searching for a talented editor to lead the digital and print newsroom at the Gunnison Country Times, a trusted and award-winning community newspaper in Colorado. This role is not an administrative one, but rather a role for someone who can lead a newsroom and cover their own beats at the same time.
Our journalists are driven to find stories that matter to our community and are dedicated to fairness, accuracy and ethics. The successful candidate for this position is a strong leader and storyteller who understands both the nuances of rural mountain life and the broader forces shaping it. Gunnison is a place where national issues play out on a local scale — from water rights and public lands to housing, endangered species, and economic sustainability — and we’re looking for someone who can guide coverage that helps readers make sense of it all. The ideal candidate has exceptional editing and management skills, values community journalism, understands how to grow our digital audience and knows how to produce a newspaper that reflects the lives, priorities and passions of the people who live here.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
• Develop and execute a plan to grow our digital audience;
• Post multiple stories a day to the Gunnison Country Times website;
• Oversee daily news operations, including story planning and editing for print and online;
• Manage and mentor a small but dedicated team of reporters and correspondents;
• Write news and feature stories on a regular basis (this role will include regular beats, including government meetings);
• Coordinate with designers and production staff to meet tight deadlines;
• Uphold high standards of accuracy, fairness and ethical reporting;
• Represent the Gunnison Country Times in the community, building relationships with readers, local leaders and organizations;
• Collaborate with O’Rourke Media Group’s broader editorial network to share ideas and support companywide initiatives.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS POSITION INCLUDE:
• Degree or diploma in journalism, communications or a related field;
• At least 3–5 years of newsroom experience, including prior editing or leadership responsibilities;
• Strong editing, writing and storytelling skills across both print and digital platforms;
• Familiarity with AP style, SEO best practices and social media engagement;
• Excellent organizational, communication and decisionmaking skills;
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and meet tight deadlines;
• A valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle;
• Willingness to live in or near Gunnison, Colorado.
The range for compensation is $45,000 to $50,000, depending on qualifications.
