Exercises in Opposition
Mars and Pluto aren't messing around. On this day of heavy-hitting planetary opposition, kind words and support directed to friends will really make a difference. Then again, if you're a sweetheart of a person, maybe this is just you on a typical day. For extra points, afford the kindness to a stranger. For triple points, offer the same kindness to yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's not like you to keep tabs on every minor interaction, but today it will help you to have at least a general sense of the give and take. No one is trying to take advantage, but people have different ideas about what constitutes a fair contribution.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you don't align with every aspect of a group's philosophy, and you probably never will, there's enough value to justify your involvement. Contributing your service could yield surprising benefits of connection and belonging.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The current distribution of power exists for a reason, but that doesn't make it immutable. Challenging the status quo will invite resistance. Change takes time; don't expect overnight victories, but know the effort matters.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). No one enjoys making mistakes, let alone repeating them, but the more times you get it wrong, the sweeter success tastes when you finally get it right. A hard-won victory will be worth the struggle.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your charisma will be amplified when you celebrate what's unique about others. Generosity of spirit is your calling card. You'll make people feel special by noticing their talents, and they'll be eager to mirror your shine.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Whatever your project, a little extra research will save you time and effort in the long run. Seeking advice also creates a natural opportunity to network, expanding your circle and influence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Not everyone has a mental filter that keeps thoughts inside their head. This could cause hurt feelings, offended parties and general confusion. You'll be the one to step in gracefully and smooth things over.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Isaac Newton's law that objects in motion stay in motion holds true in your world today. You'll intuitively grasp the flow of events around you, allowing you to make spot-on predictions. Stay tuned in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Liking someone doesn't mean you want to do everything together. To want to connect is human. To make subtle assertions of your autonomy so as not to hurt the other person's feelings is divine.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will be exceptionally lucky to make your wish list and then expand it to include a bigger fantasy about the future than seems reasonable. Someone has to have incredible luck, why not you?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One good friend in life is more than some people get. You can never have enough good friends, and there's no benefit to having any number of bad ones. Take advantage of your current social stars and make connections today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some of the requests made of you seem like a stretch. More than likely, some people simply don't know what they are really asking and it's not your job to educate them unless you want to make it your job. You don't owe anyone your time and attention.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 3). In a way, this year has a very simple formula. You do happy things, and then joy courses through your being. Your passion will inspire others, and many will be uplifted by your enthusiasm. More highlights: You'll have professional or financial options once only dreamt of. You'll teach skills and open doors for another, at once providing life-changing opportunity and cementing a legacy. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 12, 40, 7 and 21.
