ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be expansive with your energy, be the example that shows the beauty that comes through when you’re truly unafraid. One brave person can start a domino effect of joyous authenticity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone close could have the access or resources you need, or you might provide what’s needed for them. Interdependence sustains and fulfills; good relationships need more than just chemistry.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A perfect fit could arise between task and skillset, making things go more smoothly. You may want to communicate but below-zero stars usually bring sub-par outcomes. Wait until Saturday or after.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Finances are in a growth phase. Expect assistance, protection, expansion, and greater clarity on steps needed over the next few weeks. Always do due diligence though, not everyone looks for a win-win.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your benevolence could be palpable, offer that strong shoulder to others. Expect growth in your life in general, you are in a phase of greater visibility now, more could be drawn to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There’s a gentle thread of understanding weaving through this less-than-optimal day. Try to notice it and cultivate it, but expectations should still be sub-zero, just like today’s stars. Work on being your best self.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Money and other resources can flow in now, it takes more than just money to make things happen or get something off the ground. It’s also a time to consider what you value and are willing to pursue.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might just be sharing your excitement and enthusiasm, but an envious person could see it as showing out. A time of building your offerings to the world has arrived for the next month or so.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Handle old business — learn the lesson, be accountable, make amends. There’s so much relief when you’re not holding deeply-buried shame for your own behavior. Do the work and feel the joy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Hold off on any financial moves for a few days, even if something seems like a good idea. Underwater stars when you initiate something lead to underwater outcomes. Reach out to a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Partnership and friendship are both at the forefront now. These relationships can also include family and fur babies. Your patterns of relating across various relationships could be something to consider.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might need to take on more responsibility for a month or so, for most of this time you should have both a good attitude and some assistance. An ideal job or gig is one that allows for a personal contribution.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: July should have been a good month after too many tests in early 2026, you should be able to take a breath and enjoy life being a little easier. More help from the Universe should bring answers, ideas, people, and tangible items needed now. Early August could pop with excitement — your reason for being could clarify and really make sense. You could be a little gobsmacked, but in a good way. Don’t let the new insights worry you, give them time to integrate. Early September could bring a new source of cash flow, artistic talent, and plenty of rizz. Enjoy! Later in the month, don’t entertain stupidity, especially in yourself, keep it tight. October could be another key period, your understanding of yourself and the world could increase exponentially. Then a gamble could pay off, or a happy surprise could land.
