These weeks in Sagittarius have been an exploration and an experiment and it may feel like we’re being asked to leave the party sooner than we want to. But don’t worry; a few weeks from now Mercury will run back to Sagittarius, giving us a second chance at what we might have missed. Take a good look around and make note of the fruits untasted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is said that however well you love a plant, it will grow according to the sunlight and soil. Therefore, the best way to love a plant, or anything else for that matter, is to position it well in an environment conducive to its thriving.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you can’t quite put words to this thing you’re doing, don’t let it deter you. Some of the worthiest endeavors will be hard to describe. As suggested by the ancient philosopher Lao Tzu, “The way is ever nameless.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re a born leader, exceeding expectations and managing more than your share of responsibility. Things will be better because you are in charge, but even if you’re not officially running the show you’ll be contributing to its success.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Parts of the plot didn’t pan out. Some of what was talked about just didn’t find an application in real life. It’s impossible to do it all. It’s the misses that make the hits truly precious.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one can make you feel any kind of way. They might provide a trigger that sets you in a certain direction, but you could also go in a different direction if you wanted. The same cue can be experienced in multiple ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To celebrate what is, you’ll first let go of what you thought it would be. It shouldn’t be too hard. There’s much about the way things are right now that suits you better than you’d ever dreamed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Inspiration can strike, but mostly it doesn’t. The experience of inspiration is more often a slow grow. The things that are right for you will take purchase in your life over time. One day they will just be who you are. It’s a custom fit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll gain social savvy by observing what works and doesn’t. You give without expectation of return. This feels better when you aim it well. Give to those who really do need what you have to offer, not to those who are just good at taking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though it feels like everything is coming down to a moment, that’s not the case. You’ll have plenty of chances to get it right, so take your time and don’t stress too much about any one event.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may want to have more control over what you feel, but it’s not really the way feelings work. You’ll have more luck if you strive instead to be more aware and accepting of your emotions, whatever they may be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your victory will not come in one gallant act. Rather, it’s about a body of work and a number of deeds. So don’t let the small wins and losses bother you. Keep working and, over time, your efforts will add up to something great.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Black-and-white thinking is a sign that you need a break. So, if you’re starting to think everything is bad, or everything is good; it all matters, nothing does, excuse yourself from the job. After a rest, your energy will flow in a productive direction.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 30). You’ll be cool under pressure and sometimes heroic. These pressurized situations come from your ambition to create beauty and improve the experience of others. You’re also a maestro of time management, maximizing every moment with purpose. Other highlights: sweetness in family togetherness, Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 13, 25, 6 and 30.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Between COVID-19 shutdowns and the Writer’s Guild strike, many highly anticipated projects have been delayed, including “Dodgeball 2,” a sequel to the 2004 “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.” The film is among many upcoming releases from producer Ben Stiller. True to his Sagittarian sun sign, Stiller is a masterful world-building adept in many genres. He was born under a sensitive, artistic Pisces moon with Venus and Mars in Capricorn, the sign of business moguls.
