And Saturn Goes Retrograde

It's taking a class from the mean teacher who is somehow also your favorite. It's holding the attention of those with a notorious deficit of it. It's agreeing to terrible things for reasons buried so deep in you that you can't possibly understand what they are, even as the words "yes" escape your lips. It's the quick learning that happens through pain.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). First you'll choose the result and second you'll figure out what it takes to get there. When the goal is juicy enough, you'll be willing to do whatever it takes. When the goal isn't juicy enough, you're willing to get a new goal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The theories will make your heart fight with your head. The realities will bring all into alignment. This is why it's better to think a little and then act a lot. Tonight you'll make your move with grace and expert navigation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will sharpen your skills against the challenge of an equal. The excellent match that ensues may technically have a winner or loser but it will actually have all winners because the challenge in and of itself is a prize.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Imagine the outcome you would like for your business in vivid detail. Then ask the dream weaver in your head to assist you with only helpful visions. Grab a pen. You'll be gifted with automatic writing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your creativity is going strong and though you have no intention of impressing the masses, you may not be able to help yourself. Once you perform before people or hit "send" on social media, the applause is inevitable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Work is easy; love is hard. This is as it has always been. You'll make your time count. It's trickier to make your love count. That will take much interpretation, expression, more interpretation... almost to the point of exhaustion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Politics will play into each and every situation. The awareness of this will make you mighty in the political arena, otherwise known as everywhere humans go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's one thing to do your best and quite another to do what's needed. Since what's needed will be far less than all you're capable of, you may as well conserve your energy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's absolutely nothing to take very seriously now. When you think of things as a game, your playful mood not only changes the scene but it lightens the impact, sending the action into a fun, swirling direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It takes a strong person to acknowledge weakness. Knowing how you need to work on yourself and being willing to do what's necessary will give you a serious advantage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Too much negotiating hurts a relationship if only because it's tedious for all involved. Instead, suspend judgement, embrace humility and put attention on the things that will honor a relationship.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll be able to transfer your intelligence and capability from one area of life to another, though not without some jostling. Admit what you don't know and gather information. It will make for a smoother transference.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 29). You'll embark on a journey of surprises. From the outside it will look like you planned it, but you didn't have to. Delightful results are the product of converging interests, accidental overlaps of intention and fun group dynamics. More highlights: You'll learn and apply a recipe for success. Rifts heal, new love blossoms. Domestic goes through a process of renewal and renovation. Gemini and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 11, 18, 5 and 8.
