Holiday Mathis on

Too many doors can paralyze, but only if you waste time thinking about what might be behind each one. With the Libra sun angling Jupiter in this tense way, it's best not to agonize; just pick. The options are like hotel room doors. Chances are most of these rooms are practically the same. It's the inhabitants who bring these rooms to life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your charm sometimes involves a bit of illusion; tricks of magnetism that you've learned and earned. For instance, today you'll effectively bring people in closer with captivating information. What's shared in confidence creates intimacy, trust and a sense you're "in it together."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What happens at home will set you up for success in the field. But what about when home is the field? You'll need your domestic environment to pull a double-duty, and with a little forethought, organization and elbow grease, it's no problem whatsoever.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A challenge doesn't have to be headline-level to feel hard. You notice what people are going through, even if it's a minor bummer. Small cruelties can wear people down. You give compassion, and it counts more than you will ever know.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're in a moment of peak efficiency, where you can get a lot done. Approaching tasks with ease and enjoyment aligns with the flow of things. Rather than grinding or pushing, the greater yield comes from approaching tasks with curiosity and lightheartedness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Patience isn't passive; it's active tending. While you wait, you water the roots. Your steady presence is the secret growth ingredient that makes the later harvest abundant and sweet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New places, faces, tasks and asks are ahead. Uncertain about how to navigate? Do what the others are doing. You follow really well today, and "duplication" is the talent that will help you learn quick.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The beauty of balance isn't in symmetry but in responsiveness. Tilt a little this way, lean a little that way and you'll keep the dance going by adjusting, not by freezing in place.

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're bold enough to make the big ask. Maybe it's denied, probably, but don't stop there. Follow up with a smaller request. Something you want is coming to you. Not everything. But something is enough. It starts the trend flowing your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You love being useful but not being used. The difference shows in how you feel afterward. Are you drained or energized? And if you're drained, are you being compensated in a way that still makes it worthwhile?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of course you know confidence is not something you just decide to have; it grows out of experience. Each time you try, you gather evidence that you can trust yourself to perform, imperfectly maybe, but today's work is for a confident tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What friends say, do, even wear -- can seem woven into your self-concept in some way. At the very least, their actions feel like they reflect on you. It might not actually be true though. Their choices are their own. Untangle gently.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you can't hear yourself think, it's probably because the signal-to-noise ratio is off. Sitting in silence without distraction is like powering off and back on. It's the reset that clears out the interference in your you-to-you communication system.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 17) Welcome to your Year of Wisdom and Wit. The love, leadership and friendly fun comes on the wings of some sacred silliness. The way you honor people and circumstances is so unique, no wonder you gain enthusiastic fans. More highlights: a career pivot and breakthrough, a shift in family duties that sends you on an adventurous study, the attainment of a yearslong goal. Cancer and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 5, 25, 45 and 16.
