When things aren't quite working with one person, it's an opportunity to find a better fit for the task at hand. Much of it boils down to timing and the fact that not everyone is emotionally mature. Some will form and break connections with all the grace of a toddler on a sugar rush. The Mars move to Cancer will favor those who don't waste too much time trying to make sense of it, opting instead to roll with the changes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll set a firm intention. While the outcome may not match your original plan, things will inevitably change because of what you set out to do. There's power in your willingness to initiate, and there will be just rewards for following through.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Blame it on your excellence when more than one person gives you something to solve. Though you have many answers, you don't have to have them all. It would be annoying if you did. "I don't know" is often the perfect answer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You love seeing the people around you thrive. Though you're quite modest, the truth is that you're part of their flourishing. Your support and guidance contribute significantly to the success of others, even if you don't always realize it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel like a jack-of-all-trades. It turns out the odd jobs and strange responsibilities you juggled were a sort of secret superhero training for the big responsibility ahead. Gear up mentally for the challenge that waits just around the corner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're the ultimate do-gooder now. When you think you've messed up, you go all out to make things right. But don't take the same approach for something that wasn't your fault and was probably destined to fail before you got there. Let go and start anew.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're much more careful about what you take on, and you assess options thoroughly before deciding what's worth diving into. Once in, you'll hang on longer than you used to as well, partly out of persistence and partly out of curiosity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have wild ideas, but you'll be judicious about acting on them. Of course, prudence can be overdone. Too much of it puts everyone to sleep, especially you, which is why you'll add the spice that wakes up your scene.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You've an excellent read of the room today. Whether the room is homogenous, diverse, chaotic or catatonic, you'll find a way to improve the vibe and be a part of creating more fruitful outcomes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like a theatrical set change that happens with the curtain open, the scenery is transforming before your eyes. Even though you're seeing this happen, there are so many moving parts going at once, the effect is still magical.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The muses gift you. You'll pay it forward, applying the inspiration in a space of daily life. First, your imagination will thrive on the mundane, and then transcend it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll do the usual things but for different reasons, for instance to squeeze the most joy out an experience, or know its origins, or learn it to the extent that you could easily describe it or teach it to another. Perspective changes everything.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Would you believe that not everyone knows the route to fun? You'll witness it firsthand and take the lead with your playfulness. You'll help others find joy through your laughter.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 4). You'll really see people and take in the full breadth of their character. You're in the driver's seat of many kinds of relationships from professional to personal, and it feels good to take the wheel and steer them in a beautiful direction. More highlights: You'll get your wish. You'll work with a top team and know the thrill of all hearts beating for the same thing. Aries and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 33, 20 and 11.
