Today's Leo New Moon arrives mid-tangle -- a square, four trines, a conjunction, two oppositions, all in motion. It's a cosmic pounce from every angle. Think of a cat mid-leap: limbs askew, form inscrutable, and somehow it lands with impossible grace. That's what this day asks of us -- to move instinctually and trust the choreography inside chaos.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Confidence clicks, and suddenly you're reaching for something bold -- a creative risk, a move with no safety net. Whether you stick the landing or fumble it is irrelevant. It's all a part of your style, and imperfection is a key element.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You take your responsibilities seriously and you expect others to do the same, though it doesn't matter in the least until their responsibility connects in some way to your own. Such will be the case today, affording you the opportunity to use advanced communication skills.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Reactions tell a story, for instance the way your eye twitches or your chest tightens when someone says the exact right (or wrong) thing. This might change things. Keep moving through the scene. Let information settle.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Zirconia might pass for a diamond, but silk flowers fool no one, and a digital heart can't touch the rush of real love. Most stand-ins fall flat. Today, you'd rather go without than settle for imitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're understated but influential. What's your secret? Focus. You focus on what matters to you and dial out the rest. Your every move counts. Your turn of phrase, an idea you float, the way you handle a moment -- it's creating a lasting effect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No perspective is 100% right, but hindsight will be the closest. That's why you're reserving judgment, keeping your tone neutral and paying close attention. Later, when the picture sharpens, you'll be proud of the way you handled this moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your curiosity leads somewhere unexpected -- to learning the side streets, discovering the new theory, new ventures revealed or attractions ignited. In short, whatever thread you follow, you'll be glad you did.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll feel pressure to make the "correct" choice -- the one others expect or would agree with. But today isn't about getting something right so much as doing what's right for you. Your inner compass is sharper than the crowd's opinion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Culture is so all-encompassing that you usually don't notice it, just like a fish doesn't notice the water it swims in. It's the backdrop of everything: your values, habits, language, preferences, assumptions. Today you become aware of culture because you enter a different one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've a keen and accurate sense of whom you can trust. You are quick to feel negative vibes and avoid them like the plague. Your talent for assessing people accurately will lead you to the best and steer you from the rest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're moving before others realize the game's begun. While they scan the room, you're already making decisions that guide the outcome. Trust your read; it's sharp, quick and more accurate than most.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To be or perform "being" -- that is the question. To work at being liked, impressive, agreeable or "on" might help you fit in or succeed briefly. But over time, it drains you. Today you put less into managing perceptions and more into simply living life.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 24). You're a master of nuance, a storm of beauty and brains, and a true artist of your own life. But you still need other people -- and here they come this year to help execute your vision, to point out the gaps and simply to witness you. More highlights: financial wins come steadily two per season. A meaningful ceremony anchors you. A sharp turn in a close relationship leads somewhere breathtaking. Capricorn and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 19, 28, 11, and 40.
