Prelude to a Blue Moon

Holiday Mathis on

The prelude to a blue moon brings a feeling of excess, as though life leans just past its usual edge and asks what you'll do with the extra. Dream on it. The Sagittarius lunar influence dares you to chase the idea that feels slightly illegal to admit, the one that rearranges your future, even if only in theory. The creativity drops in where reason leaves off.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What went missing turns up, perhaps in plain sight. You trace the path, study the pattern and build a better system so next time your time isn't wasted in searching for what should already be in your possession.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The reason you don't complain is that you feel it's a waste of your time and breath to talk about what's wrong when you could be making it right. You'll put the wheels in motion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A new cycle is afoot. It starts with an interest and continues with action. Beginnings take courage. Initiative is commendable. Two times welcomes momentum. Three times is a set, a pattern. You're on your way to living it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To focus on others is not the least bit difficult for you. You regularly to show up where you're needed and give your all. However, it can be quite challenging for you to turn some of that attention back on yourself. Make it a priority today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). All of the emotions are temporary. The good ones will pass. The bad ones will pass. What's less temporary is the story you tell yourself about what those feelings mean, or the actions you take in response to them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Times are changing and you're changing with them. If something new could benefit your loved one, you're feeling open to giving it a whirl. Because people are more important to you than being comfortable or right or certain.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The to-do list may feel impossibly long, but it just needs sorting. Many items don't belong to you at all. Some belong to you now but can be delegated. And some are for a day in the distant future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One of the reasons love can be scary is that the feeling takes over. Suddenly you're a passenger to its whims instead of the driver. But if you could control all the turns, it wouldn't be love. Embrace uncertainty.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Each person resonates a tone. People generally default to the moods and emotions they know best. But of course it's possible to change and start feeling something else more regularly. How do you want to feel?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whether sharpening pencils, knives or intellect, the method is the same. Grind, refine, then stop. Because going past the point of sharpness makes it dull again, or worse, diminished to ineffectiveness. Learn the signs that your effort has reached its zenith.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Nothing can be done about yesterday, except to see it differently. What is your story to yourself about what happened? There's a version that empowers you. Keep seeking it out. An objective party can help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your intuition and curiosity are working together and you'll ask just the right question -- the one that opens a door, or a heart. Even so, answers won't be immediate. The best questions are answered with action, not words.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 30). It's your Drum Circle Year when life dances to an exciting and social rhythm that you are simultaneously moved by and creating. You'll follow a passion while holding down the usual jobs and roles that keep life grounded. More highlights: An award you share with the group will elevate work and expand your options. Three families will celebrate you. A big sale and a meaningful trade. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 1, 14 and 19.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Idina Menzel returns to Broadway in "Redwood," a show she co-created. Whether defying gravity portraying Elphaba in "Wicked" or letting go as the loveable ice queen Elsa, the Gemini actress and vocal powerhouse has a talent for creating iconic media moments. Menzel has Mercury, Venus and Saturn in Taurus, the sign of the voice. Her moon is in entertaining Leo.
