To protect your soul's thriving is your main job, so it follows that you'd try to take care of yourself first, but that's not always possible or wise. "Me first" is often bad manners, a bad look, and bad for your personhood, too. Today's tricky omens offer opportunity for prioritizing self-care and yet somehow still letting others go first.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Trust is just a prediction. You've shown signals that you're kind, stable and a giver. A conversation turns surprisingly intimate, which is just what happens when there's a space between people that's safe enough for truth to slip in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your identity and your work are deeply intertwined, so much so that separating them would be difficult, if not impossible. It's not just about what you do; it's about how your work expresses your values, your style, your essence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's time to handle a sensitive matter. Because you catch the vibes around you, you'll notice who needs care but doesn't know how to ask. You'll answer the need; they'll feel less alone, and trust builds from here.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You change the world by holding your corner of it with care. But you still choose your words as though you imagine they might echo. They probably will, because you're more influential than you realize.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're not easily impressed, which is why it matters when you let others know they've done something you admire. This may even lead them to exceed their own expectations. Just by being sincere, you help others rise to their potential.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do it the easy way today. When you get irritated, try using your feet. Sometimes walking out the door solves everything. If someone doesn't get your vibe, that's their loss. You'll attract your real allies by being fully yourself from the jump.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your emotional maturity and strength shine through as you stay anchored in the body. Reality lives in your body's signals. Your nervous system doesn't lie. Seek confirmation from within.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Working toward common goals lends stability beyond what you, or any individual, could achieve alone. What you once considered important will fade into the priorities of the group, and that's fine for today -- admirable even.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don't speculate about what people deserve. It's unknowable. The very concept of "deserving" is tricky and rife with moral implications and complexities. Instead, focus on what works for you or doesn't.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll notice patterns that escaped everyone else. Your perspective shifts the whole group dynamic. Say what you see -- gently. The right insight at the right moment will untangle something stuck. People will start moving differently just because you spoke.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A friend's weird idea is worth entertaining. However, there's no need to go all-in. Being curious is enough. Your reserve will protect you from committing too early. Let ideas marinate. At the very least, you'll come away seeing the world a little differently.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's a dynamic between you and a friend. When a third party shows up, the dynamic is altered. Play it cool. Trust your bond. You don't have to prove your loyalty. You can focus on showing up, instead of showing off.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 1). This year shows you with starry eyes and a willing heart, eager to share and experience a sweeter life. You'll follow tradition and give with the generosity that you were or should have been shown, altering the future for many. More highlights: the perfect application for your talent that you'll make money from, the happy resolution of a long-standing issue and dozens of mini-adventures. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 9, 18, 40 and 5.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Born in the sign of maternity, moonchild Diana, Princess of Wales, was a mother not only to her children but also to the world's wounded, forgotten and unseen. Each year, millions of dollars in donations to worthy causes are raised through the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. Seems her natal Aquarius moon, a beacon of humanitarianism, is shining still.
