The new moon in Libra ponders the idea of "justice for all." It's an ideal no human society has been able to live up to. We live in economies, laws, histories, supply chains, and most people cannot fully opt out of those even if they believe the system is unjust. The paradox: To survive, participate. To be moral, question that participation. It's a tension that's not resolvable, only balanced.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Externalize your stress. Write it, speak it, move it out. Don't let it stay trapped in your muscles and stomach. You don't prove you care by suffering. You prove it by being loving, which is easier when you're lighter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's not necessarily pessimistic to see problems that don't (yet?) exist. This kind of mental exercise can actually be a form of optimism. It's your belief in solutions that allows you to imagine a full range of future scenarios.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even as you aim for efficiency, you know that it's not always the most effective way. People need to feel seen and safe to open up. If you're not getting an authentic version of them, you probably won't get the best connection or contribution either.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your natural appeal is working for you now; the more quirks you lean into, the stronger your magnetism. Being appealing doesn't mean everything works smoothly right away. Your first efforts might stumble or meet resistance. That's normal. You're just warming up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A performance doesn't have to be onstage to get applause. The way you present yourself today wins fans. Warmth is your default, just like the sun that is your guiding luminary, and you'll have orbits today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People underestimate the courage it takes to ride the rollercoaster of a creative life. Exciting experiments, connections that spark or disappoint, risks galore -- all part of the creative process. You have the stomach for it today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will not be fooled by what is technically clever but morally hollow. What erases context, compassion and reality does not erase your awareness. You point to the real problem. Nothing can stop you from seeing it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You sense the unspoken currents in the room and respond with heart. This gift doesn't obligate you to carry anyone else's load, only to witness with compassion, which is often just what is needed to facilitate healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fresh perspective comes with fresh context. Change the scenery, even slightly, and your mind loosens from its old grooves. You'll see a problem in a whole new light. You may even solve the issue instantly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes it's about getting into the mix and handling things. And sometimes it means staying out of the mix and observing things. Your instinct about which tactic to take is what makes you a stellar leader.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The more time you spend in front of a screen, the more important it becomes to touch what's real. Paper, stone, leaves, skin -- textures recalibrate you in ways no feed or algorithm ever could.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Consider the role of silence. Not absence, but the active nothingness, pure potential, presence without interruption. In a blank space, priorities will get rearranged. Energy will be restored. Questions will be answered. The hush speaks louder than any conversation.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 21). Welcome to your Year of Delicious Contrasts. You'll be busy, but sweet pockets of stillness are where you get your most remarkable work done. Personalities you have friction with lead you to award-winning accomplishments. The challenges you endure for love produce astounding beauty. More highlights: a shift in worldview that makes you lighter, cultural events, and being photographed for all the right reasons. Libra and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 9, 24, 38 and 46.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Kim Kardashian is set to be a producer of the upcoming live-action "Bratz" film about the popular children's toy -- and rumor has it she just may play the villain. The OG influencer was born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio and has planets in both influences. Her sun, Saturn and Pluto are in Venus-ruled Libra, highlighting style and diplomacy. Mercury and Uranus in Scorpio add the smoldering mystery and the "sting" that make villainous roles delicious!
