Churning tides of the emotional Cancerian moon can sensitize us to feelings, especially the sort that alert us that something is not quite right. They let us know when we are at risk of getting trapped in situations that are not mutually fulfilling. No one wants to be in a role that only works to serve another and doesn’t allow purposeful individual growth.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The way you move through the world reveals more about you than you realize. The fact that you make fast friends with service workers says a lot. You treat people as equals, regardless of their role. That’s a real test of character. You live kindness.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be drawn in by a magnetic personality — someone who attracts with their powerful presence but can be selective about emotional depth. You find meaning in providing attention and service to this type, but make sure you are compensated in some other way, too.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some people are compelled to take up space, while others move as part of it. Being perceptive and giving, you will act as a witness, supporter or mirror today. Don’t remain there with those who can’t return the quality attention.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re excellent at adapting and proving your worth through service, flexibility and devotion. Be aware that there are some who will gladly accept all you give, and it will also never be enough. They thrive on validation, and there’s no end to their need of it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Change starts quietly, in a moment of recognition. Often, seeing the pattern you are in is the first step to creating new patterns. From there, choice enters the equation — what to keep, what to break, what to build in its place.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your passions have a way of drawing the right people into your orbit — people who will delight in watching you evolve and in evolving right along with you. Take part in the activity you love. It will soon bring new people into your realm.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some days, things just line up; needs meet opportunities with little friction. This is a lucky day to gather and acquire resources. You’ll accurately estimate what you need, find the right price and get a lot of use from the acquisitions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Authenticity often feels like a rare currency in a world of facades. Today your honesty will be rewarded. You will get extra points just for showing up and delivering as advertised. It’s refreshing to be appreciated.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can read people’s moods and serve wants before they are even expressed. This intuitive connection makes you a comforting presence. Meet your own needs first or your whole day will disappear into the needs of others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To play a game well, you must first recognize it as a game. You can tell games because they end with a win or a loss. Look around. What are the prizes? What’s at stake? If getting that matters, it’s a game.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The initial moments or how things begin in a relationship are crucial. From the start, you establish patterns, behaviors and norms that will shape how both people feel and behave in the relationship. Today, you’ll lay groundwork.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whether you find something extraordinary inside the ordinary, or you find the peaceful hum of the truly ordinary to be a genuine comfort, chores, errands, domesticity and the like will bring pleasant fulfillment.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). In this Year of Soul, you will forge the most profound relationship with yourself to date as deep emotional connections redefine your relationships. Moments experienced as almost otherworldly bring the clear goal that propels you forward. A sea of external pressures will part — walk across. More highlights: new vitality-boosting habits and a business deal that gives you new options. Gemini and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 1, 24, 10 and 37.
