When you desire one behavior and exhibit another, it's not for lack of willpower, rather it's because you house a committee within you and sometimes, they have conflicting interests. The lunar trine to Pluto suggests that those who are willing to acknowledge and listen to all parts of the psyche will learn something valuable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Like a director framing a scene, you'll explore perspectives, change up lenses and lights, and play around to find the most interesting point of view. Note that you don't have to agree with another person to appreciate how they see things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The proof of a strategy is in the results. There's no shame in results falling short. It's simply a signal to recalibrate, refine and try again. No effort is ever wasted. Success is built on the lessons gathered from each attempt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Green lights are lined up today; catch one and the rest will follow. This also has to do with your sense of pacing, which is consistent. When you go at a nice, easy clip, people see you coming and anticipate the "yes" they'll give you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Revealing conversations are the norm for you because you're naturally disarming. Your ability to listen without judgment makes others feel safe, open up and perhaps be surprised by the things they share with you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If your efforts aren't met with the support you expect, remember jealousy often drives unfair criticism. Those aiming to better themselves can seem threatening to the insecure. Take heart and keep moving forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Work doesn't have to be a grind. It's all about the company. With the right people around, the job is fun. You'll soon be positioned to assemble a team. Start looking for those key members who keep morale high.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've always believed that it is far better to contribute something meaningful to the world than to waste energy asserting dominance. Because of this, you will steer clear of power struggles that hinge on winning rather than truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Should you happen to find yourself in a disagreement, the quickest way to peace is to find something on which you can simply agree. Drop the defenses and walk together on common ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Acts of forgiveness are in the heart of love. The question on your mind now: How many times should you forgive a person? A better question may be: How many times should you forgive yourself? That answer could be the key to both questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While others are busy chasing what they want, pause to truly see what's going on under the surface of things. Avoid awkward situations and, even better, come off as effortlessly cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some look back on their home of origin with warm and loving feelings. For others, it's painful to touch on history. But even painful history can benefit a person. For instance, you know you're stronger because of the compensations you employed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It will be tempting to obsessively review things until you've talked yourself out of making a move. Just act. In action, problems are avoided or solved almost magically, no mental process is even necessary.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 13). Your cosmic birthday gift is the certainty of knowing what you want, and the wisdom of wanting what will actually make you happier. You'll also have the momentum of others wanting your objectives as badly as you do. More highlights: Fun friends who inspire you to be the fullest version of yourself; 10 satisfying and lucrative wins; and a surprise that takes weeks to enjoy. Taurus and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 10, 35, 27 and 8.
