Some complain to show their exceptional talents of discernment and flex the implied intellectual superiority. Complaining can also be the refuge of those unwilling to solve a problem. But for those willing to take action, complaining is simply a first step in defining the problem. A lunar square to the comet Chiron throws a spotlight on the suggestion box.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Many believe being right is what matters most, but they're mistaken. Letting go of the need to be right invites peace and intellectual freedom. An open mind is your gateway to more enriching, enjoyable connections.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your inner treasure shines. Among your greatest riches are modesty, compassion and a genuine desire for collective well-being. These values will draw the right people to your side.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Who do you lean on when you feel fragile? Reach out to that person today. There's a balancing act in this relationship, and when one of you feels weak, the other finds strength.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Strange challenges figure into work and play alike. Psychology will triumph over tangible resources. Don't be swayed by how impossible things may seem materially. Your mind is the key to victory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Have you noticed fortune smiling on your relationships? You owe the thriving to your keen sense for how to build rapport, nurture trust and create a place where people feel free to be themselves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When the path gets tricky, you'll naturally gravitate to the good questions: Who's got this figured out? What's the better way? You're never afraid to ask because you know learning from others is part of the adventure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Talk out your process. Express your feelings. Share your joy and your worry. This will keep your internal world from being a lonely, narrow space. You need more than just internal conversations to truly see things as they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Knowing the decision-making process can be taxing, you're careful not to give too many options to others. You're good at narrowing down the vision and offering but a few options.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Perspective will liberate you. Go big -- as big as the whole sky. For instance, when you consider the airless surface of distant planets, it reminds you that everything, even your next breath, is a gift.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life is like a carnival game. Whether it's landing the ring on the bottle or hitting the target with a dart, success is about considering a number of factors and then forgetting them all before taking your aim.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Keep reaching and believing because you have even more of the magic than you did in your most magical year. One friend will open your social life wider.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Take care of your own needs first. This is not a day to help others at your own expense. That would be very expensive indeed! Helping shouldn't hurt quite so much.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). This year is a hot air balloon flight over territory you used to have to climb step by step. And though there was honor in that work, it's your turn to lift off into some beauty you've only seen from the ground until now. More highlights: Legendary hospitality and social grace, the resolution of old conflicts, and a new grasp of financial concepts that leads to savvy investments. Sagittarius and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 18, 27 and 50.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Depth, intensity and transformative talent are the hallmarks of Scorpio artists. Case in point, Emma Stone, who brings the emotional range and magnetic presence to every role she plays. Whether playing a comedic role like in "Easy A" or delivering an Oscar-winning performance in "La La Land," she keeps the audience fully engaged, never letting them know what to expect next -- unless they are expecting more Cruella, that is! Stay tuned for the sequel.
