Some of your thoughts steer you from trouble, guide you toward goals and dreams, and encourage and inform your journey. Some of your thoughts are just garbage. They drift in through the environment and are not to be believed. To set the tone for this Venus journey through Pisces, be the master of your mind, not its servant. Decide what to think and then repeat those fortifying ideas.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Short-term pleasures such as sugar, doomscrolling, novelty, shopping and validation hits and the like are designed to spike your delight and then leave you restless. Seek the slower burn you get from learning something new, using your creativity or physicality.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Each small success builds confidence and reduces fear of failure. See each attempt as feedback, not a final verdict. That mindset makes action less intimidating. Remind yourself why you care about solving the problem. The "why" often outweighs fear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What are you dreading? Handle that first. Today, diving right into the dreaded order of business will turn out to be laughably easy, and it's all good moods and vibes from there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Adventure isn't only spectacle; it's a shift in perspective. Something routine can still open up a world to you because recent intellectual leaps have stirred your curiosity to new levels. Now there is something remarkable here to discover.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's a decision to be made. Before you make the call, do some brainstorming. Throw out the weird, the wild, the half-baked -- the more you come up with, the sharper your ideas get, and suddenly, problems start looking like playgrounds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everything good around you was, at an earlier juncture, a complete problem for someone. Fate is the culmination of one solution after another. So don't worry about the difficulties of the day. Every last one is an opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don't forget that senses come alive in your mind. It's a helpful idea when your environment gets too monotonous or downright oppressive. How you meet the environment is just as important as what's there to meet. Use humor and take poetic license.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel certain that what you're seeing on the surface of life contradicts what lies beneath. You're right about it. Depth is your natural terrain, and it calls you. A subtle question, silent observation or pause in judgment will uncover truth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Teaching someone younger or older helps you understand how your generation fits -- a vital link, bringing together the whole. You're not behind or ahead; you're in the middle, translating. What you give comes back to you in a sense of belonging.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being organized puts you in control and ready for anything. Life moves quickly these days and surprises abound. It's good when your keys, glasses and wallet are easy to find. You move with life instead of chasing it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Every relationship has unique needs for closeness and space. You read the room so well and find just the distance the moment calls for. Your inspired approach will win you friends and fans.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Wishing someone would behave differently? Futile. Accepting the other person's behavior and building on it? Productive. Boss moves like this will be your norm on this productive day. Your star is on the rise.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 11). Welcome to your Year of Expertise, featuring deep learning, exciting sharing and better positioning to shine your light in the way that matters most to you. The accolades matter less than your ability to help others, but you'll be rewarded nonetheless. More highlights: a profitable decision, emotional intimacy that grows through trust, and home becoming a gathering place that reflects your style. Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 6, 4, 38 and 47.
