Venus and Uranus pull across the sky, testing our tolerance for uncertainty. As frightening as the unknown may be, some degree of it is necessary for good relationships. Too much familiarity has been known to breed such things as wonderful as comfort, as dangerous as complacency and as unsettling as contempt.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll direct your resources to delight people who are notoriously hard to please. It’s not done with more, just better. The cost will be accounted for in organizational and creativity points, not dollars.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today will be a seamless flow, with you navigating swiftly, your focus unwavering. Delegate those details so you can keep doing what you do best. You’ll claim the prize and return to share it with the team.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your talent for discretion will set you apart. You radiate class and professionalism. You will have an uncanny sense for which cards to hold back and which ones to play. You will guide others to the information that is relevant and helpful to the situation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Adversity has shown you who you are and who you want to be. It has given you a clearer path than you had before the challenge. You’re thankful for the ways you’ve had it tough, though you’re often driven to help others have it better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one can be reasoned out of beliefs they didn’t reason their way into, so there’s no point in arguing with opinionated individuals who present their beliefs as incontrovertible fact. You’ll learn more from people who aren’t obsessed with being right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve been known to invest in people you like, but more often it goes in the reverse order. People need your help, and in giving it, you develop an affinity for the recipient.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Certain notions you have about yourself are so habitual you won’t notice them until someone points it out to you. Use good judgment in deciding when to try and influence others and when to stay out of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have but limited time, energy and resources. Deep commitment requires substantial investments of these resources. Keep your promises to a minimum. You’ll accomplish three wonderful things today and push your project forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Cats and terriers possess the ability to detect the scent of unseen rats, and today, you share a common trait with these perceptive creatures. Express your suspicions and they will be validated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have good conversations today. And though you have a knack for picking the right topics, there will still be times of uncertainty. When you’re not sure what to talk about, all you have to do is listen. People talk about things they like to hear about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Every day unfolds with myriad possibilities, each choice leading down a distinct path, subtly shaping the course of events. Your ability to anticipate and understand these outcomes improves, empowering you to become more strategic in your decision-making.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A strategic mindset allows you to navigate the intricate web of choices before you, selecting paths that align with your goals and aspirations. Your evolving predictive abilities enable you to foresee potential outcomes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 20). A wonderful year, not because you’ll get everything you want but because of the satisfaction and confidence you gain from solving life’s problems and claiming the prizes you so deserve. More highlights: You nail your top priority and all settles around it. Financial interests compel more education, which pays off big time. Libra and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 3, 12, 1 and 19.
