A spirit of defiance exists as the moon challenges Jupiter. A drop of rebelliousness may be appropriate, fair and useful, though it’s best executed casually. Can you act to make a situation right, but do it with such smoothness that no one feels confronted? Maybe no one even notices. The weak will benefit from the initiative and follow-through of the strong.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Lucky endeavors include making things of beauty, enhancing your living space and supporting the talents of those around you. What nurtures your creative intelligence will add sparkle to your life and relationships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s no need to push ahead. It would be like running toward your destination from the inside of a Concorde. Trust that progress is inevitable. The move is no move. Conserve your energy; you’ll need it later.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re playing a game that’s not unlike poker, if poker lasted for several days. Keep some of those cards close to the vest. Don’t be in a rush to divulge. The mystery is working for you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In time, you’ll understand what’s wonderful about today’s weirdness. Each relationship brings a gift to your life, though with some, you have to wait to open the package, and even then, it may not be immediately apparent what exactly the gift is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be patient with new habits. The status quo is like a seasoned muscle builder. The newbie who just started showing up at the gym last week is no serious rival. It will take many reps to get in the game. Keep lifting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A collaboration that starts out just fine will get even better as you go. Right now, you’re building mutual trust. You’ll go in with a light heart, find what’s useful and leverage it to the benefit of all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you keep some of yourself a mystery, people fill in the blanks with their own imaginings. Because of this, you may become bigger than life to them. You will be dancing with people’s perceptions of you today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The behaviors of others can surprise you, though today no behavior will be more baffling to you than your own. Your reactions reveal emotion or talent you didn’t know you had.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Gratefulness stirs in you as you think about what others have done for you. Relax and receive a moment. You don’t want to diminish the pleasure of giving by reciprocating too soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Past experiences, particularly those related to personal relationships, still influence your emotions. The resurfacing of old feelings will give you pause. This is a prime opportunity to rid yourself of some baggage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Commit to a process. It will reduce the number of decisions you have to make. You’ll simply get on the path and keep going. You may start and stop, spin and fall, but eventually you’ll get there.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Concern yourself with having a good time and you will accomplish it, to the benefit of yourself and everyone around you. You’ll balance a caring heart with material and ego necessities.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 15). Because you’re a passionate, driven person, your go-to gear is the one that requires you to push, lift, muscle and sweat. Even so, it’s a lower gear that will bring about tremendous gains of joy, connections and financial wins. When you lift the heavy demands you make of yourself and others, you’re suddenly more productive, successful and happy. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 6, 40, 22 and 8.
