Venus square Neptune suggests the isolation we sometimes feel is an illusion. Even when we work alone, we're interacting with timing, other people's choices, external opportunities, synchronicities, our subconscious, our past efforts and much more. You're invited to stop thinking you must manufacture everything by sheer force. This is an ecosystem.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Fairness matters, but life is sometimes too tangled to sort out perfectly. Today calls for decisiveness, not deliberation. Take the quick, clean action you know is needed, trusting that details will settle into a larger kind of justice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Silences are your playground today. If other people want to rush to fill them, let them. As for you, the pause is your friend. Quietness increases your presence. Stillness makes you magnetic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Accept attention without performing for it. If someone is drawn to you, let them be drawn. You don't expand or shrink to match their interest. You stay yourself. This is star energy: You do not chase. You glow in place.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A project or relationship will seem to reset like a game that goes back to zero with each play. You're wiser and more skilled for the hours you've already put in, so have fun with the fresh chance to rack up points.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The performer isn't always in the mood for the spotlight, but stepping into the costume, hearing the cue and walking onto the stage flips a switch inside them. You'll be applauded for something today, and it's all because you donned the costume and got out there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you decide to let go of a grievance, it won't be because you're doing the other person a favor. Grudges are heavy baggage to harbor. When you drop it, you'll be lighter and laugh. Then comes a small miracle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Reading is acquiring knowledge rather easily from others who learned the hard way. Of course, you still have to apply that knowledge to activate it. And you'll do this today, putting to good use the lessons distilled from another person's long road.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). All feelings have something to teach. Defensiveness, for instance, can teach you where the truth is -- or teach you what's partially true, or believed to be true. No one is defensive unless there's a vulnerability or something valued to protect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're recognizing a pattern, and how it makes you feel is significant. Sometimes you need time to sit with your feelings, because it's not exactly clear what to do next. It's OK to do nothing for a moment. Just catch your breath.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). That little inner ping of feeling is your inner compass pointing at something important. There's something or someone in your orbit right now that is worth pursuing, and your body already knows it. Pull the thread. It's leading somewhere good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You learned something that seemed specific to one situation is in fact extremely transferable to other areas of life. It might even feel as though you're no longer a beginner at anything you pick up today, so strong is your footing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes you only want a thing vaguely, like a fantasy you wouldn't really go after. But now you want something specifically, precisely and with intention. Watch out, world, here you come.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 23). Welcome to your Year of the Satisfying "Click" when everything aligns with a snap. Your values, work, relationships, finances -- they all support each other instead of competing. You'll feel purposeful without being rigid, successful without sacrificing joy. More highlights: a breakthrough in passive income, travel that feels transformative, and romance that's both playful and profound. Aquarius and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 21, 3, 10 and 43.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Business mogul Madam C.J. Walker is an icon of inspiration and a prime example of famous Capricorn traits of leadership, ambition and perseverance. From her beginnings as an orphan and washerwoman, Walker built a transformative business that was about more than just hair care; it was a social and economic movement. The story of the first self-made American woman millionaire continues to inspire with adaptations like "Self Made," the Netflix series starring Octavia Spencer.
