The afterparty to the Cold Moon features a light dusting of luck, as unique as drifting snowflakes. And though the solar trine to Jupiter shimmers with the sort of good fortune we could really use right now, two other Mercurial aspects suggest a little work will still be necessary to land it. Happiness that feels earned is sweeter anyway.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Robots excel at executing precise maneuvers repeatedly without fatigue, yet they lack the ability to respond to anything beyond their programming. But for you, repetition will get wearisome. Seek fresh circumstances that challenge you to think creatively.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll create an offering that people really want. It’s not all about the item itself; it’s also about the limited supply of it. Make sure they know this thing of yours is rare, nearly unavailable in fact or very difficult to obtain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The sun doesn’t worry about giving equally to everyone. It shines for all, and this will also be your approach. You’ll radiate warmth and many will come forward to bask in it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your unhurried pace exudes confidence and makes you a magnet for good fortune. There’s nowhere you have to be that is not where you are. Embody this, and the synchronicity you feel with your surroundings keeps the opportunities coming.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s comfort in a comedy because you know that however it ends, it will be happy. Happy endings are among the most defining characteristics of comedy. Assume you’re in one now. It will make the ups and downs easier to roll with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Loving someone often means tolerating more from them than you would from anyone else. The principle extends to labors of love, too. Your dedication to a passion project will be fueled by love and will yield remarkable and astonishing results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). An active mind is energizing, while an overactive mind is depleting. You’ll exist in a mental space that feels wonderful as you work out a right-sized physical challenge. While your body is moving, your subconscious will organize your thoughts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Technically, the problem at hand is not your problem at all. And yet, sooner or later, the group’s concerns will wind up being your concern. You’ll feel drawn to help, to take on a corner and lift. Together you can move mountains.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If forced to choose a side, you’ll forgo getting a deeper understanding of the situation. Complex situations call for solutions instead of sides. Seek understanding of the context of a problem and you are halfway to solving it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though it’s fun to spend time with people who share your interests, this is not a prerequisite to enjoying your friendship. In fact, you have very little in common with some of your favorite people. Your hearts match up, and that is enough.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Dive into a complex task. The unsteadiness you feel at the start is temporary. You’ll develop proficiency soon enough. The early challenges are par for the course and will later serve as a contrast and testament to your expertise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Name your feelings and you will have more ease with your experience of them, as there is power in a name. What is named can be more readily embraced, or released, whichever way you need this to go.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 27). You’ll invest well in the new year and enjoy getting creative with the fruits of this. You’ll revel in your ability to make a difference in the lives of others. More highlights: Your intense enjoyment of ordinary things elevates them to the realm of the remarkable. You change the negative into a positive, find the opportunity in limitation and make the most of each win. Aries and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 31, 35, 19 and 41.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Timothee Chalamet is becoming known for creating his unique take on iconic characters who’ve been played by many before him. He’ll follow his portrayal of Willy Wonka up with a characterization of Bob Dylan, who has been played by Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Ben Whishaw and more. Chalamet is a Capricorn born when the sun, Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Neptune were all in the sign of the powerful sea goat.
