The Dream, the Plan and the Plot Twist

Holiday Mathis on

Today features two lunar trines, first to visionary Neptune and then to structured Saturn. A lunar opposition to Uranus throws in a wild card. So go on and get lost in the fantasy of how things could be. You'll know when to switch to making lists and filling out your calendar. In the end, it's that plot twist that turns events into memories.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your confidence is unmistakable. Somehow, you're able to be simultaneously assertive and fun. The evening lets you relax into tenderness. There's nothing to prove and no one to defend, which is the perfect circumstance for connecting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know who you want to become, but you're still attached to the habits of the person you've been. One change puts you on the right track. Pretend you're already in your ideal future and make a choice from that mindset.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Focus exclusively on what is within your control. Deciding between all the things you could do is challenging enough. Start with the big stuff because the small stuff will take over if you give it too much room.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe the rules have some wiggle room. Maybe the person enforcing them likes your style. Either way, you'll keep things interesting as you dance on the boundaries, testing the limits with charm and good humor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have little patience for cynics. Anyone can point out what's wrong with the world. You'll have more fun finding something to celebrate, even if it's your own ridiculous behavior. You're loved for your sense of humor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some memories swagger to mind. Others are unwelcome party crashers. And some memories disappear altogether. For today's experiences to make the round trip, add a little extra drama, beauty or absurdity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll work within a diverse group -- the luckiest kind! You can all succeed together, and because you take the time to understand the strengths of everyone involved, you absolutely will.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It seems the entire universe is rooting for you, as even your unpreparedness will bring you success today. So say "yes" wherever you are, ready or not. What you come up with on the fly will not only impress, it will bring your wish to hand.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some say a lot and don't act. You'll act without saying much. Your example has influence; soon more people pitch in. The work picks up. Everyone finds their rhythm, and you start to feel like a team.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Nature has no interest in accommodating your plans, and neither does it work against them. The wind blows where it blows, and the tide comes in on its own schedule. Work with the forces around you. Ride the current instead of fighting it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your mood doesn't have to be stellar for you to do excellent work. You can feel a little discouraged and still make plans for the future. Today, you'll discover how much you can accomplish without waiting for your feelings to cooperate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've stood out and you've been outstanding, but today you're in a different position -- integrated with the group and yet still leading it. You may not consciously know where you're taking them yet, but they will definitely follow.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10). In your Year of Beautiful Rooms, you'll spend more time in places that fortify and delight you, including one that you help transform yourself. Your surroundings become a source of daily pleasure. More highlights: A trip centered around something you love, becoming the person people request, refer and pay, and a family development that gives everyone something to celebrate. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 14, 20, 31 and 43.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Kiernan Shipka continues to surprise audiences, joining the acclaimed HBO series "Industry" as a seemingly carefree socialite whose hidden influence quickly became one of the season's biggest talking points. From "Mad Men" to "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" and beyond, Shipka reflects Scorpio's gift for revealing unexpected layers and making even the most enigmatic characters feel deeply human.
