The heart of Sagittarian season reminds us that fortune favors the bold. Those who push limits and dare to walk the cutting edge of life take the spotlight now. The newness at the edge can feel scary or awkward at first -- and then, suddenly, kind of cool. It's the feeling of the archer's arrow just before release -- trembling, certain, alive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Certain roles require your composure, some skillful acting and a commitment to show up and deliver time and again. But you shouldn't have to perform to the point of pain, or your soul's diminishing. Take off the mask. Breathe easy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today you'll make dozens of decisions. The more you make, the easier they are to make because you realize what you prioritize and prefer, each decision telling you a little more about what feels good and right to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Focus on building your skills. You'll get ideas and inspiration from a wide array of sources. You've a talent for assimilating information into its most useful form. You'll turn what you learn today into a quick fix or rapid improvement.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To choose an extraordinary life is to choose a life of vision and effort. It's so you. You might consider "effort" your chosen home base. It's something to accept about yourself today: effort, not comfort, is your natural habitat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Simplify. Reduce the number of different services and subscriptions you have. Avoid redundancy. Ask yourself what you really need and use on a regular basis. Keeping track seems like work, but ultimately, it frees you from work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you see someone who is obviously trying too hard, it will feel compassionate to help them out. You'll smile and listen, making them feel less nervous. Pause and let silence do its part in creating a calm social pace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't feel like you need the approval of others, but the truth is that it's more fun to have it. A little validation makes you feel confident and free to move forward. So take the compliment and run with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Half-hearted energy attracts hesitation; wholehearted confidence sets events in motion. When you go all-in today, the universe responds in kind. Even if you're uncertain inside, acting certain helps others trust the momentum -- and that shared belief can make the project real.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your personal achievements deserve more credit. Today it will be fitting to remind yourself of your successes, what you've overcome and what you're so good at. Review the list. Build up confidence. You'll put it to good use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some friends can be territorial of you because they want your full attention, and when they don't get it, they might act hurt or jealous. Your naturally warm and inclusive nature is beautiful, though.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll find a perspective that lets you see a tricky situation without being consumed by it. From an elevated perch you can observe everything clearly, understand the dynamics at play and then choose consciously how and where to act.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Like most people, you have a type. This type keeps appearing in your life in various forms. Today someone new resembles those you've known before. Now it's time to decide whether it's comfort you're chasing or growth.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 13). Your Year of Luminous Confidence begins. You'll shine naturally, without needing the spotlight; it just finds you. What you've practiced quietly now draws attention. You'll feel more visible, confident and generous with your gift. Love grows, friendships deepen and your instincts for timing and tone bring you wins in work and play. More highlights: recognition, romance and fun money luck. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 18, 23, 27 and 41.
