Like the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two before it, every small emotional exchange contributes to a growing pattern of connection and understanding. In the math of kindness, a supportive word, a shared smile or a thoughtful gesture might seem insignificant on its own but will accumulate into a larger, more complex and impactful web of interaction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're in a position to offer feedback, support or encouragement. Recall the past responses you've received that meant the most to you and echo them now. To honor the scene with specificity will convey deep respect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Power has many looks; mighty, intimidating, cute, unassuming. A very powerful position is the one that tells the others that whatever offer is on the table, you can take it or leave it. In this way, nonchalance can be power.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You've compromised more than your fair share lately. Maybe someone has to take one for the team today, but that someone doesn't have to be you. Let others take their turn.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll use your talent for turning work into a game, casting people in roles to make a group really interesting or challenging the social rules to amp up the entertainment factor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People have their own history, limitations and emotional complexities. These are not reflections of anyone's worth but products of their past and personality. You can admire someone while accepting their imperfections. Your empathy runs deep.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll revisit feelings and allow them to surface -- a brave, deeply meaningful process. Each layer you uncover brings you closer to understanding and, ultimately, healing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're cast, willingly or not, in the role of caregiver, problem solver and emotional stabilizer in nearly every corner of your life today. Your role as "the one who makes things work" has been reinforced by your own immense competence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The reason children must be taught right from wrong is that there are so many nuances that seem counterintuitive to our primal instincts. As you navigate moral complexity, keep in mind that there won't always be one definitive right answer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A stellar attitude has you flying over your life, seeing it all with a bird's-eye perspective, which reveals options you wouldn't see from the ground. You don't have to do anything, but you get to do a lot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is impossible to form a deep connection with someone you are trying to impress because the puffed-up version of yourself prevents bonding. Connections happen once egos have deflated and people feel safe enough to be vulnerable with one another.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your talent for creating memories is a perk of your curious and creative nature. What serves you in the moment will often also provide the novelty and emotional depth to become a cherished experience your mind will revisit in years to come.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What can you do to reduce waste? Consider that unhelpful mental processes are a waste of energy, too. Anything you can do to make your thinking focused and efficient is also a force for good in the world.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 27). Love dances through in your world, gracing life with loads of your favorite kinds of attention. Challenges exhilarate and elevate you. Games fit your talents. More than one person falls in love with your quick problem-solving, broad creativity and attunement to subtle energy. More highlights: a monthslong project that is a mighty career booster, two fun trips and expert negotiation of a lucrative deal. Scorpio and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 5, 44, 1 and 19.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Like an Aquarius, Patton Oswalt is committed to lifting and healing humanity even when the endeavor requires an examination of his own broken heart.

Whether making audiences laugh, cry or think, the Aquarian brainiac born under five air sign planets delivers a testament to heart, humor and resilience.
