The idea of originality has been debated for as long as humans have had the urge to speak. Some of history's greatest minds -- from the ancients to the avant-garde -- have argued that every "new" idea is simply a remix of something older. Originality isn't about inventing from nothing; it's about how you remix what moved you. This New Moon in Virgo invites you to rework with purpose. Make it yours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll lead with emotional sight. Your heart has vision that extends to the stars or contracts to the microscopic. It even senses the invisible. You'll pick up on what isn't said, the energy behind words or the hidden meaning in an interaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No more exhausting exchanges. No more contortions to fit what they expect. Sovereignty means nothing in someone else's kingdom. Today's power move is reclaiming your realm, your rhythm, your say.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's OK that not everyone is positive. Negativity can be grounded, practical and even helpful. But today, seek levity. Stick with the people who make you feel hopeful. And if you haven't met them yet, start the search tonight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe the "real you" is less a personality and more a frequency. Not a brand. Not a mask. Not a label. Just your own rhythm -- unfiltered, unafraid, unforced. And when you live in that rhythm, everything true can find you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're drawn to smart choices today. No need to crack a book or take things apart; your instincts already understand how it all works. You apply this insight effortlessly and make progress without fuss.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your way is golden. Your heart, steady and strong. Your vision, lit with something only you can see. And the world feels it. Your energy draws support; your clarity sparks momentum. It will be easier than ever to get others on board with your plan.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You want to spend time in your own way. But which way is that? Lately you've been heavily influenced by another without detecting the persuasion. But you're waking up to it now. And because of this, you'll make a new rule that's all yours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No rushes, no demands. Those who want everything yesterday will miss the opportunity to learn how it's made, earned and delivered. The origin story is important because it speaks to the integrity (or lack of integrity) in what exists.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have something to teach those born in another time, and doing so will bring good fortune to all. Whether older or younger, there's much of value to impart about the experience of your own particular slice of history.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're feeling the urge to say something. It's critical, or it's bold. But is it helpful? Sit with it for a while. Let the idea prove itself inside you before risking the ripple it might cause outside of you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relationships are ecosystems, not isolated events -- and even small changes can create exponential impact. You'll be reminded how adding someone new can trigger chain reactions, reveal truths, shift loyalties, stir emotions, change priorities and affect the whole group.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have taken someone into your heart even though you're well aware that even the best-intended people can bruise the hearts they live inside. That's love's risk, and love wouldn't be love without it.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23). The runway is open. The lights are green. The name of this next chapter is freedom. Fly. More highlights: a thrilling opportunity in a new place, a financial upgrade through a clever side project and a collaboration that brings out your brilliance. A romantic connection deepens, or a new one charms you with humor and heart. You'll stumble into a quirky obsession that keeps you laughing. Libra and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 22, 12 and 40.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: As the world approaches Kobe Bryant Day, superstar, athlete and humanitarian Kobe Bryant's impact remains potent. The Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, under Vanessa Bryant's leadership, donated 8,000 apparel and sneaker pieces to wildfire-affected communities, carrying on Kobe's mission to support underserved youth athletes. Bryant's natal sun and Saturn were in Virgo -- symbols of discipline, structure and lifelong service.
