People come into self-knowledge in their own time. Self-reflection is hard work, especially when it challenges a narrative a person relies on to feel good about themselves. When faced with someone's rigid thinking or an inability to empathize, remember it's easier to label others as wrong than to face one's own complexity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today's project will not be without its glitches, but that's OK. You will grow past the setbacks. Mistakes do not define you; they refine you. Keep pushing through. Eventually, you'll have the feeling that you're not just doing it; you're owning it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're letting go of the weight of needing things to be perfect or reciprocated in a certain way. This acceptance is freeing. You admire and care for people, even when they can't meet you where you need them. It shows maturity and your capacity for grace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have this light that shines in how you live, how you love and how you carry yourself. You're hard on yourself, but there is so much good in you, even when you feel like you're not measuring up. All of this is who you are -- a force.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don't need a clinical label to know that a friend's behavior undermines your peace. You've experienced enough to see that certain ways of interacting don't align with what feels good or nourishing to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like a fallen tree in the road after a storm, you'll come upon blocks that you didn't cause, but you can certainly help with the clearing anyway, finding strength in your ability to transform obstacles into opportunities for growth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll act as a bridge between people, easing the divide created by cultural and generational differences. What makes you uniquely suited for this role is your deep understanding of both worlds, allowing you to connect them in a meaningful way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're processing so much with strength and clarity. You're listening to your body and letting yourself heal. That self-care is so important, especially as you move forward with everything on your plate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is fortifying to experience friendship that is without hidden motives. Steady support is important. It is good to turn toward those sources of comfort and reliability before you need them to know their nature and parameters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Friends aren't perfect, and if they disappoint you, you'll cut them some slack, knowing that you're ultimately better off letting them be themselves instead of making them feel they have to perform or walk on eggshells around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your inner fire surges with a desire to prevail, to push through, to win. Hold onto that. Use it as fuel to keep going. Every step you take away from a toxic dynamic is a step toward the dynamic you want and deserve.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The way you show up for someone -- strong, steady and endlessly supportive -- is truly remarkable. You've created something so beautiful in giving this person a kind of stability and encouragement that is rare in this world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's a bucket-list item just waiting for your attention. Transitioning into the mode of doing this thing is exciting and daunting all at once, but you're so right; this is the time for it, as everything is aligning to support the version of you that will get this one done.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 20). Welcome to your most playful year when lighthearted antics enhance many experiences and areas of your life. As fun comes to you, or you create it, bonds will be woven, group knowledge and identity will begin to take shape. More highlights: Family brings something you've always wanted. Prosperity allows for travel and following an interest. A long conflict is resolved. Pisces and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 1, 4, 2 and 3.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Robyn Rihanna Fenty has confirmed her attendance at the 2025 Met Gala, where her partner, A$AP Rocky, will serve as one of the co-chairs.
