Happy birthday. New people come into your family. And though there's loving support all around you, you still develop incredible self-reliance this year.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You give love in many ways today. Most of the ways have to do with showing up and doing the regular things. Sometimes it's what you don't do or say that is the most loving.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have a healthy respect for danger, but you're not about to let fear keep you from taking risks.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Studies prove placebos can work even when the person taking them knows they are a placebo. Rituals can be a kind of placebo, too. The important thing is not in the belief but in doing what works.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You're trying to think your way through a situation, and it's taking a lot of energy. It's tiring you out. So ask your heart.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Funny cat videos are awesome, but it's time to get more strategic about social media. Who do you want to know better? Controlling what you look at is to control who you're influenced by.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even though you have plenty of time, the best moment to do a thing is when it comes to the front of mind. In other words, now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today you'll be given a choice. Good news: There's no correct preference. So just choose what you like, what you can use or what you think will work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Work is work. It doesn't matter what the job is; the time and energy you put in must be balanced with rest, fueled with nutrition and recharged with leisure.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The reasonable ideas have no more of a chance of working than the wacky ones, so try both.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A Zen proverb suggests, "If you want to climb a mountain, begin at the top." The rest of the zodiac is turning to you, mystical goat, with question marks for eyes. Can you decipher this one?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Does it feel like you're behind the times? That's not a bad place to be. You'll find something new and novel about a thing that's been "over" for a while now and reignite a spark.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you reaching too far? Probably not. Whether you reach for the moon, the sun or Jupiter, you'll get the same stretch. So reach for what makes you feel the most delight.
