The last day of a solar journey is a door drifting toward shut. There's still time for last entrances and swift escapes, and what steps through may surprise you. Unfinished feelings, stray thoughts, spontaneous invitations -- they rush in from the edges. As the Cancer sun winds down, intuition heightens. This is a moment for following odd leads, trusting hunches and catching what flickers in the fading light.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You might feel the urge to cut someone off, ghost them or pull away without explanation because they let you down. Instead of just withdrawing, you'll respond in a way that shows what kind of treatment you accept. You'll set a boundary that also sets an example.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Proximity creates responsibility. You'll be called to localized, present-tense compassion. No one can help the whole world, but you are responsible for responding to the people closest -- your family, neighbors, co-workers, strangers on your path.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A mature move may not pay off today, but over time, when the long game swings in your favor, you'll be glad you made it. Your next move will influence how others treat you, how you earn their respect and how the relationship shifts to benefit you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It takes courage to be known. You have it and you attract those with similar fortitude. A breakthrough in your social world is coming -- someone revealing more of themselves, showing you the kind of closeness you've been craving.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've stopped expecting people to "get" you all the way, and that shift is oddly freeing. Your clarity opens up better ways of relating. You'll speak plainly, act kindly and be magnetically received.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A family situation stirs again. Your role is evolving, and this time, you won't accept the old assignment. You're building a new dynamic one sentence, one choice, one subtle refusal at a time. Keep going.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's easier to be kind in certain circumstances -- when needs are met, when moods align, when others go first. You offer a pass to someone moving through rougher circumstances, and this compassionate affordance is a hallmark of good character.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll observe yourself with honesty and see a pattern you hadn't considered before. This has roots. You'll understand where it came from, and you will consciously choose something different -- a better match for who you are and what you care about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll find something worthwhile in an average, everyday environment -- a note, a spark, a reminder of what you once wanted. Let it pull you in a little. The best treasures aren't always shelved neatly. Some you have to stumble over.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Keep noticing your inner weather -- where the pressure rises, where the clouds move in, where the air feels charged. To name what's happening inside will give you a wider range of options on the outside.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're in a moment of readiness and emotional flexibility, leaving room for something that hasn't fully arrived, like the conversation that changes a relationship, the click of realization or a financial drop. Go about your business. Watched pots don't boil.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're learning to live in layers -- the public version of you, the one you show to a few, and the treasured you-only you. Today's work strengthens all three. You've really got something here.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 21). You're somehow both visionary and grounded. Your optimism is backed by what you actually do, which is building something lasting. You'll attract powerful collaborators and move forward with the precision of your humanity -- that is to say messily perfect. More highlights: There's a major personal reveal and a romantic twist. Friends show up big. Your emotional range becomes a superpower. Aquarius and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 18, 21, 5 and 33.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Robin Williams was a Cancer to his core -- emotionally vast, deeply empathetic and fiercely protective of others' joy. His comedy dazzled with rapid-fire brilliance, yet his performances -- "Good Will Hunting," "Dead Poets Society," "The Fisher King" -- revealed a tender, aching humanity. Cancers often feel everything all at once, and Williams channeled that emotional kaleidoscope into art, soulful generosity and quiet philanthropy. His legacy lives on in the laughter he sparked and the hearts he held with his emotional genius.
