Typically, the most ethical individuals are the ones who wonder how they're doing at being a human. They admit to mistakes and wouldn't think to go out of their way to prove their innocence. Lunar squares to the sun and Neptune caution against giving unqualified trust to those who herald their own goodness. Why do they need to?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Communication errors start with inattentiveness. Failures of attention are often first failures of humility. It is by reducing ourselves that we get the best view of the world and learn how it works.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People gravitate to your lightness of being. You come by it honestly. It's not that you don't care, it's just that the losses you've endured in your lifetime have taught you that you can choose what to care about and detach from the rest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Humility can reduce or eliminate anxiety. It's not so terribly different from grounding yourself. Humility brings us down to the shared foundation. The stakes and expectations get lowered, too, which can be a tremendous relief.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are ideas that have an actual presence you can feel. It's not unlike the presence of a person. You sense an idea hovering near, wanting to cross into your world. You need only to welcome it in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Since the universe refuses to follow our tally, thinking about who deserves what is unhelpful. Instead, consider rules of cause and effect in a particular environment. Ask, "How do I make XYZ happen?" not "What do I deserve?"

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've a treasure that you hide, so as not to tempt people. You know how hard you worked to have the gleaming gems, and because of this, you will protect them and show them only to the worthy witnesses who will appreciate their value.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Trying to sort emerging emotions and sprouting conflict with strictly intellectual thinking or generating more theoretical solutions won't be effective. Reconnect to the primal tides. Basic, inherent instincts will guide you on a fundamental level.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because today you'll have the guts to express yourself before you have the words to do so, it may help you to sit down and write out your thoughts, play around with the wording and order, and really plan the best way to deliver your heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships need support systems just like people do, as they exist in a society. When friends, family and other groups are routing for a relationship, it improves its chances at success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Who you are is always slowly changing and at certain times rapidly changing. The fun of today is that a transformation happens in a blink, or more aptly, the microsecond it takes to make a decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is not a theoretical problem on a page. It's one you have to live to figure out. You've no clue what you're capable of until you jump in the game and take some swings. All outcomes will be a surprise, and that's what makes it worthwhile.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're on a mission that only you know about. Like an explorer who's trod too long, you sometimes forget your original reason for venturing. Remind yourself now and reorient to your North Star.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 11). Your cosmic gift is a bump of super intelligence and the vision to bring together disparate pieces into a cohesive scene that works for all involved. More highlights: You'll perform a daring feat. Special new people are attracted to your courage. Resounding fulfillment will indicate you've found what you didn't know you were looking for. You'll close a big sale. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 22, 11, 14 and 18.
