ARIES (March 21-April 19): It could be time for your artistry and creativity to grow and come into its own, even if you only do crafts just for yourself. Allow space for this if time permits, it’s a special opening. Share resources generously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One key to a successful relationship is if the partners believe in the relationship itself, not just in their love for each other. People have their good days and bad, trust in the relationship itself can help sustain it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the midst of the messy job, it can be hard to remember why it matters. Trust that it does. Apathy, entropy and despair bring us all down. Pockets of order and quiet coherence restore faith in the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You don’t have to earn your right to joy any more than earning your right to breathing oxygen and taking up space. Open to fully experiencing your moments when they descend and trust that you deserve them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hold the energy and manifestation can arrive when you’re on your aligned path and you hit your timeline. It’s more than belief, it’s living inside the energy that already holds what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Despite a desire to share beliefs, below-zero days don’t bring the best outcomes. Put a pin in it until next week. Reach out to a friend, you may soon get caught up in an inner process that takes some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you can help someone significantly with what you already have on board, why wouldn’t you? Give from the heart, it’s likely to be received in an equally heartfelt way. Lift one to help the entire circle rise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more you have worked out inside yourself, the more you shine on the outside. People could be drawn to you now, you look like you have what they admire and/or want. Share wisdom.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your shadow doesn’t just hold the hard-to-face stuff, it also holds your most beautiful light — but you have to traverse the darkness to get there so it can shine. The treasures are all inside you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tangible assistance could define friendship today, in one or both directions. Be part of community, isolation isn’t where it’s at for you today. Abundant resources could begin to flow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A good relationship could become better, there an opportunity to grow and solidify despite not-great Universal stars. Invest in growth but don’t set any milestones like getting engaged or married under poor stars.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you can make your peace with repetitive tasks, they’re less of an aggravation and more of a no-brainer. Find ways to make them easier for yourself, a little time invested now could save lots of time going forward.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The Universe brings a nice birthday gift this year in the form of a protective umbrella that may also answer prayers. Expect things to get better than they were for much of the year so far, your challenges should be significantly fewer for the rest of 2026. A meteor could drop early in august, life-changing and wonderful, but there could be a little shock of impact until you settle in. Suddenly you could have full clarity on your life, your mission, your destiny. It’s a lot! But it’s all yours, no need to be afraid. September brings a gift and a test. The gift is money and enhanced appeal. The test is whether you’ll upend your life for a few minutes of fool’s validation. October is another seminal period, bring highest guidance and potentially, a nice little windfall.
