ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today and tomorrow offer better days in the sky; partner up with someone to get a job done. If anyone digs their heels in out of a need to be right, it would be easy to end up in a confrontation. Stand on your proven track record.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Confusing messages could throw you but more clarity could come in hours or by tomorrow. Offer to help even if someone isn’t at their best, that’s when they need help the most. Today is better than the next few days for anything significant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Move in confidence, not in anxiety. Even if the move is exactly the same, the improved vibe brings a higher outcome. Those tweaks you’ve been playing with making could come to the forefront of your mind with greater urgency.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A friend may not offer a way out of the situation but sitting quietly with your questions could bring the answer from within. Small changes can make a big difference. Stick to your budget, avoid any extreme expenditure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An impulsive detour might lead to a bottleneck later, it would be better to stick to the original script. Something you may have tabled could be handled today, it’s the best day in the sky for the next week. Offer grace and understanding.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Exchanging ideas is only helpful if minds are open to new intel and are able to hit ‘recalc.’ A friend might be able to quiet a concern or you might offer them some comfort. Financial matters may be beginning to improve.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A relationship can be basically solid and still have areas of discord. Be sure you are having, not avoiding, the hard conversations. A fresh perspective can be a game-changer, bringing something into, or back into, alignment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone could get painted into a corner through an action that could be hard to walk back. Rather than escalate anything, go for a do-over if you can. Mistakes can be understood unless they’re part of a repeating pattern.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t push into a space without an invitation, but when invited, infuse the space with healing and hope. Don’t give up on anyone but carefully calibrate how much you pour into them. A raise could come fairly soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A creative experiment could stall out but might be retrievable later. A partner or housemate could need a little reassurance to get back into balance. Friends could be rebellious or try to stir up controversy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If a situation gets deadlocked on the home front wait until tomorrow or the better days in the following week to shift things up. An innovative viewpoint or philosophy could be bounced back and forth very productively now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There could be a block to understanding feelings today, a misunderstanding or just a lack of willingness could be the culprit. If attempts to explain are falling flat, put a pin in it for tomorrow or later next week.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: October this year doesn’t bring many days in the sunshine, pick days carefully to do or say anything that could matter in time. You could encounter resistance or be the resistant one yourself—just be sure anything you agree to feels truly aligned. You might be tempted to try to jam something through. Don’t, October is not a month with odds for good outcomes. November is a return to the positive, it’s helpful month with lots of openings for making strides, launching new offerings, or starting a new job or business, but be savvy and always do your homework first. Something could be remade in a better form in December, it’s a month of grace and hope. Hold onto new ideas and inspo that comes in at that time. Show off what you’ve got, your abilities should be highly evident. Ideas and plans for the new year feel strong but confide them only to trusted people.
