There's no right or wrong perspective, but there are ways of seeing things that energize your mission or deplete your enthusiasm. Which perspective feeds a hopeful attitude? If your thoughts exist on a spectrum of usefulness, which are helping? Those are the ones to put on repeat as the moon opposes Mars on the first day of the new year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You fit many different descriptions, and yet you're far too complex to completely be summed up by any one of them. Though you're willing to fill the role others need, you especially appreciate those who seem to fully realize you're much more than the sum of your labels.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your preferences around personal space will determine who fits into your life. It's not just about physical boundaries but your style across the board. Those who intuitively respect your needs will win a place in your world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With a stranger, you can shine in the moment without thinking about the past or future of a relationship. Unburdened by histories or expectations, you'll speak freely about what matters to you, and there's magic in the connection.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like any superhero, you can be at top strength or depleted of your gifts at any point of the day. However powerless you feel in a given scene, you will still make your move, knowing it matters.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When your heart is light, so will be your work. Let your affection stretch long and your conversation clip brief. Simple solutions rule the day: Not enough love is a problem. More love solves it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're magnetic because you're honest, unfiltered and unapologetic. Just watch how it draws the right energy to you. Exciting love prospects align with the truth of who you are, proving that honesty is your most attractive quality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To strive for a goal unsuccessfully for too long is disheartening. There's a point in which it's time to stop changing tactics and instead change the goal itself. When it's the right goal, your life will naturally organize around it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When someone says you're lucky, you may smile and agree even though you know that luck isn't the reason. It's the sensible decisions you've made and the opportunities you've seized while doing the work that paved your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Miscommunication breeds distance, while transparency brings people closer. The more you open up and express yourself, the more you nurture a bond that is resilient and alive. Today features a clear, honest dialogue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Film editors get to say what goes in and what stays out of the movie. Your brain also has editors. Today they are in an experimental mood, unconcerned with the genre and willing to entertain offbeat takes. Your limits of awareness will expand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be thinking about all you want to do with the new year. Of course, if you tackle everything, you'll end up doing nothing of note. Today you'll prioritize and pick one project to do and do well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The mystery of a person is like any other puzzle -- it comes together one piece at a time. If a piece seems like it doesn't belong, it's because you don't yet know the fullness of the picture. Keep gathering moments, insights and experiences, and you will.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 1). You're remarkably self-driven this year. Unbidden by external need or encouragement, you use your internal resources to fuel sacred quests, fulfill fathomless desires and execute remarkable fetes of production. More highlights: a happy professional and financial turn. You break through a plateau in your personal life, which brings an enhanced flow to your days. Scorpio and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 19, 3, 33 and 17.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The ambition and legacy of Capricorns is apparent in the remarkable Americans born under the influence of Capricorn's steadfast and visionary energy. George Washington Carver, a botanist and inventor, transformed agriculture with innovations in crop rotation and sustainable farming, embodying Capricorn's resourcefulness and enduring impact. Paul Revere organized a revolutionary alarm system, demonstrating Capricorn's strategic brilliance. Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag, a testament to Capricorn's craftsmanship and devotion to purpose. Born into hardship yet driven to greatness, these Capricorns remind us of the strength and legacy that define this sign.
