Here's an image for the solar conjunction in Uranus: When each individual says the same thing, it doesn't feel like group unity. It feels creepy. That's because we instinctively know that too much agreement among humans is a signal of fear, not alignment. It makes the intelligent wonder: Is disagreement and dissent being punished? Is one person doing all thinking?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's one thing to make a mistake, but quite another to participate in a tough and complicated system that you did not invent. The former warrants correction or maybe amends. The latter needs grace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today's mission requires self-discipline. Luckily, your inner drive is set to "fierce." Later, these same moves won't require discipline at all. They will be so engrained in you, they will be almost effortless. But today, you'll muscle through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Shimmering potential is the theme. You'll have the opportunity to start from scratch with all the right ingredients and instructions that work perfectly if you follow them closely. Beginner's luck is on your side, so go for it!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). No one builds a reputation on what they hope to do. You're working to realize your dreams. In the meantime, you're careful not to discuss your plans too widely. You'd rather wait and see their reaction to the real-world proof.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The ego isn't some villain. It's the part of you with personality, preferences, boundaries and conviction. Even so, things go better today when you don't let the ego be in charge of everything. Backing off often moves you forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll act before you feel ready, and that's normal. Preparation has limits. There is a threshold where action teaches faster than planning. Step across it, collect feedback, adjust and continue until the impossible looks like something you simply did.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Counteract the effects of stress by taking frequent breaks, eating right and most importantly, getting good rest. The care you take now will affect how you'll do on the test that's coming up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An idea might be good in conversation, but you can't build a reputation on it. Reputation grows from what you finish. Completed work travels and gets used, judged and remembered. Each finish line is proof that brings the next starting line.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll run small experiments. Take one new thing at a time and use it on a real piece of work. Apply, observe, keep or discard. Assess what worked, what didn't, what you'd change -- that's where learning sticks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though there's nothing wrong with being wrapped up in your work, if loved ones feel neglected, it could cause problems for you. These troubles can be completely prevented by spending quality time with them before it becomes an issue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Focus gets results, but tunnel vision can make those results quite boring. You're more than one track. Let your curiosity wander. Give other interests some airtime. They cross-pollinate, spark ideas and make your work richer and more alive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If everything good or everything bad is accounted for by the votes gained, then morality is at the whim of public opinion. That can't be right. You're sorting out what makes sense to you, which doesn't always match mainstream beliefs.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 22). It's your turn for Cosmic Synchronicity in which destiny's watch is set to your own easy rhythms. It's exciting when events unfold quickly and it's relaxing to hit the loving lulls that give you time to ponder and dream. Many will delight in your depth and intellect. More highlights: Your projects are money in the bank. You'll work and love in a different part of the world. Physical strength grows. Leo and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 23, 11, 6 and 17.
