Between the lunacy of the lunar aspects and the heavy tension hanging on the Jupiter-Neptune square, we need the kindness that compounds. To bring someone water before they ask, to say the tender thing, the minor fix, the major laugh ... Gestures that lower stress and lighten the mood ripple out with gentle but ever-wider impact to significant effect.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're in a mirror maze of sorts today, performing to your own reflection, inviting people to see what you want seen while controlling the angles. Even vulnerability may seem stylized, and it's entirely your call. You'll drop the guard when good and ready.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don't worry about doing the logical thing. It's fascinating when you don't make sense. People will never totally understand or know everything about you. How could they? That's the beauty of it -- be the mystery.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Hit pause. It will allow for truth to surface. A rest in the action will invite clarity, trust and connection that activity would only have disrupted. Not knowing what to do next means you're ready to listen to the universe and get on board with a grand plan.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You need the group support for something today, and you will get it, creating just the thing that will have everyone leaning in. Your boldness works first, and subtlety will work later when attention has already been secured.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A stress-free life isn't the goal. Some stress is fuel. You're facing hard work, but it's doable, and you're fully capable. Remember, you have choices. You're not stuck. You can pivot, pause or try another way whenever you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When your mind feels overloaded, getting everything onto paper helps you see what's really there. It might feel chaotic at first, but you can declutter your thoughts by writing them down. Once it's visible, it's manageable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your emotional intelligence is evident in the way you handle relationships. You never stop building trust or being engaged at a meaningful level. Keep asking better questions, reflect and give the answers time to form.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). How things should be does matter, but what you can do about it matters more. It's too soon to tell though. Keep studying and seeking a deep understanding of how things are. The move is "no move." Instead, watch and listen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To keep from falling into patterns of communication that verge on lazy or boring, just remember, there are hundreds of ways to relate to the people in your life, and as long as you're coming from love, all will be well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Finishing will be harder than starting. You've got rhythm, focus and a strange kind of support on your side. Someone's odd way of caring will land just right. The best way to give back is just to complete the mission.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Learning isn't just about accumulation -- it's about timing. You'll hear something today that only clicks months later, when life gives it context. Forcing comprehension too early can distort or flatten the insight. But letting it simmer? That's how meaning deepens.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Partnership opens doors and balances your strengths. You're especially good at meeting others halfway -- negotiating with grace, staying curious and finding solutions that feel fair to everyone. People feel seen around you, and that makes good things happen.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 18). Accomplishments run the gamut this year because your passion is at times a blazing fire, and other times a focused beam. More highlights: You thrive in groups and teams. Shared goals energize you, turning collective effort into success for all. You'll also experience the return of someone dear, large checks and the steady rise of your creative power. Aquarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 6, 21, 18 and 30.
