Dailiness builds the strongest bonds. The sun comes up every morning and the blossoms open to drink it in, as they have since the beginning of flowers. Daily visits, however brief, are a theme to carry us through Virgo season. Whether we check in with friends, ourselves or another interest, habits are established in a few minutes each day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some relationships dynamics work naturally for you, and others require your work for anything to happen at all. You'll find out what you're willing to do by experimenting. You'll figure it out as you go.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's smart to automate your tasks, but you still need to check in with the process. This is why, even though a plane may be on autopilot, for optimum safety, there are still two pilots at the ready.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your eye for details is honed. Noticing is a talent, and it's good to get as granular as you'd like. However, your analysis may not be appropriate to share, as some won't be able to take all the minutiae.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll be at your most productive around those who get you, challenge you and support you. Ideally, the same person can do all three, but if it's not the case, accept the gift you're getting and keep the social energy moving.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Overthinking leads to strange moods, feelings of displacement and existential angst. So give it a quick thought and move on, or don't think about it at all and trust yourself to work the moments with instinct and intuition.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Models don't think about how pretty they are. Zebras don't think about how striped they are. You don't think about how fun you are -- that is until friends start fighting for your attention and time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll be attracted to people who are attracted to you. You'll be drawn to those who can help you manage, improve and build in the ways you most want to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If courage were a substance, you would see that you have much more of it than can actually fit inside you. And somehow, it's always there for you to tap into, too, so you may as well use it wherever you go. You'll never use it up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Every flaw has an advantage of some kind. Some are so advantageous they can hardly be seen as flaws at all. It takes some creativity to discover the benefit in certain circumstances, but you'll find it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You take charge, not because you want to be the boss but because you know how. You'll envision how you want things to go down before making a move or talking to anyone. They'll follow your simple plan.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your heart has been quietly open like a window on a perfect day, letting in sunshine and fresh air. But you may also notice, as the breeze blows through, that you are missing someone. Follow that pang. Reach out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Where the balance of power is out of whack, it is better to interact with neutral third parties. This keeps everyone honest and serves justice. For instance, there are many conversations that will go better with a mediator.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27). Your adventures will be as boundless as your spirit this trip around the sun. You will teach and inspire, cultivating an environment where all can thrive. More highlights: Serendipitous meetings lead to good fortune in finance and relationships. An act of generosity opens the gate for much more, and you'll direct resources to need, healing the broken, empowering the meek. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 2, 20, 19 and 41.
