Under the Buck Moon

Holiday Mathis on

As the moon lifts its antlered head through the trees, velvet light brushing what hasn't quite hardened yet, remember that you are still growing -- bone under softness, instinct under stillness, a shape not fully spoken. This is not the harvest. This is the dream of what might stand tall by the end of the season. Listen. Something is forming.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're the translator today -- between people, between ideas, between head and heart. Talk about this talent of yours. Someone needs your knack for breaking down the complicated into something they can actually use.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll feel a pull to protect your time, and rightly so. A short "no" will save you hours. You don't have to justify your boundaries; just honor them. Because explaining things will be tedious and unnecessary for both you and the listener.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll feel a rush of pride not for what you accomplished but for how you handled yourself. The emotional poise you showed under pressure is the real win. Anyone with grace understands how much work it can be to keep cool and controlled.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your instincts are sharp, though you might second-guess them just because others move with more certainty. Mind you, that doesn't make them right. Confidence and rightness aren't synonymous. But your impetus to move is based in what's good for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being open and saying "yes" will bring surprising rewards. You'll likely agree to something spontaneous -- an outing, an event, a project -- that you wouldn't have planned for yourself. That "yes" becomes the entry point to adventure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone you admire needs you, too. Your opinion is unlike any other, believe it. When people turn the floor over to you, be honest. This is your cue to stop underestimating the impact you're already making.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today you'll feel the power of restraint. You won't need to correct, confront or control. Instead, you only need to observe. Your presence radiates a truth that others feel, and it helps them witness themselves more realistically.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Weirdness will have you laughing. This is a good sign. When levity returns, it's usually because life gets easier. Either you're well-rested and stronger or you're too tired to care anymore. Both work!

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's a new tool or method that will change how you work. Invest the time to figure it out. It's hard to stop and take the time to learn, but the upgrade you make now will save you time in the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A project that once felt overwhelming now has a clear next step. It's so easy to move forward now, mainly because you've stopped trying to solve the whole thing at once. You can go the whole way only knowing one or two steps at a time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There's someone you want to reach -- not with logic, but with delight. A gesture, the sort of text only you could send, the ribbing that says "we're in on something that's only for us." You make them feel special.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you have to pay someone to fix a problem, treat it like a lesson. Learn what you can so you're more self-sufficient the next time it comes up. Don't just buy the fix -- buy the knowledge.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 10). You're learning to wield your sensitivity like a secret weapon. This year brings a role reversal -- you'll be leading where you once followed, mentoring where you once asked. More highlights: A signature project takes flight and gains momentum. You'll cash in on something you put years of time and energy into. A love story evolves, sometimes like a walk on the beach, sometimes like a roller-coaster at the fair, sometimes like a dance in the club. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 14, 21, 39 and 42
