On Annual Remembrance

In war's aftermath, we decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers. To carry out a ritual on an annual schedule is to keep it sacred and answer the invite of its opportunity. The Capricorn moon and lunar trines speak to tradition and open the heart space to honor service with solemnity and bring moments blanketed in peace.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It feels as though providence is pushing you where logic wouldn't dare to lead. Nonsense might be just the thing you need. At the very least it will bring you to the next step.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes one has to be cruel to be kind, though more often than not, you have to be kind to be kind, and a whole lot of good happens from there. Move forward in benevolence, and trust that things are coming together.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). New friendships bring fresh perspectives and joy. Your inner world is rich today. You'll draw ideas from a wide variety of experiences, and your imagination will spark with unusual associations.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll say goodbye to "normal," and before you can experience the void, "magical" steps in. It's good that your awareness is heightened with the change-up because things will get unpredictable, which is the whole point.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Envy gets a bad wrap, but like all the feelings, it can offer benefits, especially if you're willing to examine and work with it instead of dismissing or discharging it too quickly. When you lose motivation, envy can fuel a leg of the journey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's something you've not been able to conquer yet, and a small act of courage will change the whole scene. It's akin to flicking on the lights -- the shadows of the unknown disappear in an instant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today's thriving happens because you tend to your work. You will focus intently and get it done, and it will turn out to be more fun than you thought. It will be a pleasure and privilege to handle as much of it as is humanly possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Promotion works best when you're delivering something that's very much needed. Fine out the appetites, interests and problems affecting your crowd and your work is half-done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your communication skills improve with each interaction, making it easier to connect with others. You feel so confident that it becomes very safe to release any fear of rejection and approach new connections with confidence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your instincts get sharper when you give yourself more to choose from. Research, network, date and explore. Exposure to many situations increases your chances of pursuing and attracting the best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Feelings are tricky. What brings a smile to one person can make another sad. Many of the factors in play are subconscious today. You'll pay close attention to what's happening on the emotional level.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Genuine connections are built on more than shared experience, mutual respect or empathy. There's some mysterious X factor in there, too. Somehow you fit into one another's specific and perhaps familial ideas about companionship.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 27). Despite your mixed feelings about the spotlight, you'll be the recipient of sweet and well-deserved attention, and you'll love how it feels. Relationships shift to support you better, and so will your job description. More highlights: peace and productivity in the family realm, projects that pay off in dollars, and a strong sense of purpose, too. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 22, 14, 28 and 33.
