The triple trines to Aquarius luminaries keep the felicity moving. If this existence were a city, it would be aptly named "Temporary" and given an erratically changing zip code. The impermanence isn't a flaw but a feature helping us inhabit the moments fully, aware that our experiences are fleeting, unique and will never come in quite the same way twice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You've been around hard people and known the cold pain of emotional indifference. Your capacity for kindness has been earned with firsthand experience of emotionally barren situations. Now your warmth changes everything for someone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Questions arise. What's the cost of attention, approval and affection? It's different in different relationships. Sometimes it seems much more expensive than it's worth. Often the currencies are subtle. Does the trade itself negate the presence of real love?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don't waste time where red flags are flying. There are so many people of stellar character you haven't met yet. Keep moving. You deserve to be around people who support, uplift and inspire your trust on every front.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's a common belief that focusing on personal goals leads to happiness, yet shared effort and contribution often produce deeper, longer-lasting joy. Helping or collaborating with others will uplift you in the moment, and the good feelings linger.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like someone. Your goal isn't just to understand the piece of them you interact with. You already know their work role or public persona. You're more interested in what motivates them. One thoughtful question can start that deeper connection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're doing well, but it's OK to want to be doing even better. People who have your best interest at heart are fine with this. A transformation is happening now, albeit slowly. Keep focusing on what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The vague restlessness of the day has you up and out, looking for somewhere to apply your energy that will keep you engaged, responsible and involved. Meaningful tasks will quiet an uneasy feeling and put you back on course.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Power and efficiency go hand-in-hand. Today sees you doing less but doing it well and creating a greater effect than overcomplicating or overextending yourself. Minimalism makes your world simply beautiful and keeps you from getting bogged down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your internal weather produces states that come and go on their own. To argue with a feeling or force a mood only drains energy without changing much. You conserve energy just watching emotions drift like clouds across your sky inside.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don't always stop when you feel tired, because you know you have reserves that will kick in after you've spent everything in the tank. When it's important enough, you can push through, and you'll be met on the other side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It clicks in. The plan comes together. You love the feeling of finally understanding a complex situation or making sense of the unknown. Your whole being lights up and you feel swept into the wholeness of life itself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The contrast between curiosity and conviction is sharp today. Self-righteousness signals psychological danger. Certainty can harden positions. The most reasonable and accurate arguments are aware of their own ignorance. Stay open.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 28). Welcome to your Year of Lasting Support. You assemble a network that strengthens every part of your life, giving you more practical help, emotional understanding and an enduring source of mutual encouragement. More highlights: thriving projects, special connections with people of different generations and lifestyle upgrades that favorably affect your day-to-day. Libra and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 21, 32, 6 and 41.
