Balance is being restored under the Libra moon, but don't rush to fill any particular position. Trust the slow pacing of natural equilibrium. Remember that people step into roles for a time, each bringing something unique and irreplaceable. When a role is left vacant, it's a reminder of their singularity and the particularity of their contributions. The void that remains isn't just emptiness; it's a sacred space.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever state of mind you're going for or circumstance you want to live out, pretend you're already in it. Involve yourself as fully as possible in the exercise of acting "as if," and before you know it, reality will catch up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A sense of poetic justice makes you feel like you're in a movie. Even so, watch the dialogue. No one can take back words. In life there is no pause button, no rewind. So go carefully and ever-forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The way people show up in our lives often says more about where they are than about who we are. You deserve relationships where your care is reciprocated, where the balance feels steady and safe.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You prize honesty all the while appreciating what it takes to entertain people. There's an art to leading people's imaginations. Like a magician, you'll keep directing eyes to the magic.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The relationship you're longing for is possible, but it requires the right person -- someone who recognizes what you bring to the table and whose heart is big enough to meet yours. It's what you deserve, and you should accept no less.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A variety of curiosities and passions will converge in one particularly captivating project, one that will require a few attempts to perfect due to the many elements at play. The process calls for your very best work, and you'll bring it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've gained clarity and growth from a relationship, even if it was painful, and that's something to hold onto. You're working toward a healthier, more centered version of yourself. Be gentle with yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's OK to not like how someone acts in a moment, and that someone might be you. Sometimes when we feel vulnerable, we react from a place of pain. Be gentle with yourself. You deserve your own kindness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You simultaneously crave and fear something. It's too soon to make a move. Be patient and keep gathering information. Lie low, knowing that when the time is right, you will feel it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're channeling all your feelings -- sadness, triumph and more -- into something vibrant and real. You aim to give something different and exciting to the people around you, and in this you will succeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You take the time to truly listen and relate to others; the sweetest moments come from genuine understanding. Love, like anything worth having, doesn't need to be hurried.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can't help but feel that you are so much better than the cycle a relationship has pulled you into, and you'll prove correct. You will find a civil resolution for uncivilized discourse -- a huge step toward reclaiming your peace.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 16). Just when you think you know what you like, life rises up to bring you a whole array of new people, places, foods and more to add to your list of favorite things. More highlights: You'll turn victory into an opportunity to help and promote others. A special person sparkles up your days. You'll lead projects and shape a vision for the group. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 12, 6, 21 and 31.
