Instructions for Venus in Aries

You don't need everyone to be happy with your plan; you only need one person to be happy with it, the one who made it. Even that person should be given grace in doubt and the freedom to make adjustments along the way without the hassle of judgment. In short, give yourself everything you need, including tools, supplies, love and leeway.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll give a stellar performance of sorts. As informal as it may be, it's complex work that engages your talent and has positive social repercussions. Just be sure to keep reading the room and keep your hand on the "volume" knob.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A social mood takes hold and you have a talent for talking to anyone about anything. People open up to you because they sense you're non-judgmental. Most of the day's interactions will leave all feeling lighter and brighter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're a lifelong learner and the world is your classroom. Actual classrooms, however, may feel too confining. You'll get hooked into a subject and many avenues of information and hands-on learning will open to you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What if your future was like today, multiplied many times forward? How does that prospect appeal to you? Use the idea as a guiding principle and make the adjustments that will favorably color your tomorrows.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Genuinely curious, you'll gain a greater understanding of someone's world and still want to know more. Share about yourself, too. As trust builds, so will the potential for the relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a wide array of talents to offer and will be interested in one who is equally gifted. You may flirt without realizing it. Others will though, so you'd do well to be careful how you wield that charm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel mysteriously connected to place you've never been before. The mere idea of it lights you up. When you finally go there, you'll meet people who give you an immediate feeling of belonging.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone knows the phoenix wasn't born from an egg. Some say its mother is a flame, its father the grim reaper, but the phoenix knows that death and fire were but midwives in the process of birthing oneself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An objective witness, you'll take in your surroundings and observe the unfolding plot without personalizing the action. You'll see how things really are and you'll choose your path from a place of clarity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When we are isolated, it can seem like no one else feels like we do. Of course it's not the case. As unique as you are, you're not inventing new feelings for humans and you can rest assured knowing you are definitely not alone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone grows up with certain patterns in their childhood that will feel familiar and be repeated in adulthood. For whatever reason, if you want to break out of the pattern, today gives you the opportunity and tools.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though the future is uncertain, you're an excellent predictor of it, especially when it comes to your loved ones. You can guess how a loved one will behave and you'll be right. Learning people well will be rewarding on many levels.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 5). Your motto: No waiting. Walk forward and the sea parts, your schedule clears, the money comes and your guides show up, too. More highlights: nostalgic reunions, a game-changing investment and a re-frame for your personal life that changes the color of your memories and casts golden light on your future. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 28, 14 and 29.
