Big Words, Big Heads
With the Sun opposing Pluto and the Moon conjunct Mercury, the ego has a mic and plans to use it. Big words come out of big heads. The ego wants what it always wants: recognition, importance, power -- maybe a little worship. But true purpose isn't self-referential. It doesn't just serve the fool behind the mouthpiece. So, before you speak, ask: Does this serve the moment or just the mirror?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be quick to notice when someone starts performing instead of relating. You have a knack today for peeling back personas and recognizing what's real. You'll respond to sincerity, and others will follow your example.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Why slog away when you could be working on something that comes naturally -- where your talents, instincts or wiring give you an edge and momentum? In both cases, you're working hard, but the outcomes and sustainability are radically different.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you find yourself agreeing with whatever you heard last, it's an invitation to get much more information and experience on the matter. With more knowledge, you'll understand the benefits and limitations of every option.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There can be power in vagueness, euphemism and polite ambiguity, but only if there's someone there to get it. Better to speak plainly today. Say what you really mean. Be it a messy truth, a joke with a sharp edge or a line that cuts through the fog... it will ring in the air like a bell only the right ones can hear.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You were born to perform, but today you'll enjoy being offstage; the party is in the greenroom! Because you're listening, watching and understanding the cues before they're spoken aloud, someone will let you know how they need to be loved. This information is gold.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Thinkers may linger in doubt, but it's the doer who crosses the finish line. A smart plan is ideal, but any plan -- or none at all -- will do, because once you're in motion, instinct takes over.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You deserve to make your decisions based on what excites and energizes you -- not out of obligation, habit or strategy, but based on what actually sparks your interest or gives you a jolt of aliveness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Analysis alone won't change the world; creation does. Keep learning; just don't analyze yourself out of making something. Don't get so delighted with adding to your knowledge that you forget to create.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone wants to impress you -- maybe more than they're letting on. You'll keep your cool while reading between the lines, watching how people behave when they believe your opinion matters. (It does.)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you build today may start small, but it gains weight quickly. A passing thought becomes a plan, and before you know it, people are looking to you for structure. Take the lead; you're already doing it in spirit.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your originality is showing. Don't worry about finding the perfect frame. Like all great art, your ideas come through no matter what happens to be containing the gaze. And you'll have admirers who put their money behind that admiration.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A compliment lingers -- not only because you needed validation (well... honestly, exactly that) but also because it affirms something you've been working toward in private. Let it sink in and fortify you.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 25). Somehow, you're both lit from within and grounded from without -- which is why you're not afraid to take chances. You can play any room, shift gears with ease and stay fully you in every situation. More highlights: This year brings recognition for something you've long done in the shadows. Your social swirl connects you with a person who opens doors professionally and otherwise. A curiosity leads to joy and money. Scorpio and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 1, 11 and 17.
