If there's a thought pattern that prevents you from the joy you deserve, you'll glimpse it as the lunar square to Uranus strikes a match of illumination. Moments of clarity like this, where the subconscious becomes conscious, are golden and fleeting. See how long you can hold it in view. Because if you can recognize the thoughts that make the pattern, you can also rewire it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know about power and who has it. The power in the room isn't necessarily the titled boss. It's a baby or a dog. You see how actual power moves, which is different from the way a figurehead pretends and flexes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes rumination slows you down, but not today. Think and overthink. You can't think things through enough. Heed caution. Double-check yourself. Run the numbers, then run them again. The next move might be no move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Anyone can sit back and point out what's wrong. You lean forward to seek the miracles, to greet what's going right, to meet up with opportunity. You're here to improve things, to move forward, to keep it pushing, and so you will.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You matter deeply to the people close to you, but also to people around you who you don't even know. Everyday interactions ripple outward. A kind word, a moment of attention, even your tone can stick with someone longer than you'd expect.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though it pleases you to know that you make someone's life easier, you can't be everything to another person, and it would be a gigantic waste of time to try. Set boundaries. Allow others to find strength in themselves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You put together ideas that interest you and present them in your own unique way. Some get it; some don't. Everyone will eventually, but that's not the point. You don't need everyone to get it. You only need you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're grounded, yet you dance -- with certainty in your movement and openness in your mind. This becomes a rhythm others trust, where steadiness and surprise share the same beat. Today brings an interesting collaboration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People don't always show appreciation, but you're very important. Don't forget it. They need you in ways you're not even conscious of. When needs are met, they can go unnoticed. But they become obvious when they are no longer met.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll confront fear by defining it. What exactly do you think might happen? And if it did, what would you do? Most fearful scenarios never come true, but only you can say what plans and thought processes are worth the time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe there are thousands of people trying to do the same thing. But don't be afraid to compete for what's popular. If you succeed, your rewards will be plentiful. If you don't, the lessons you learn will be in high demand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In days of old, the royals shared luxuries in their castles as acts of diplomacy and bonding, knowing that entertainment wins battles without raising swords. Today you may decide to invest in your home or in hosting others for reasons both personal and political.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Today it's really important to keep moving, because new environments mean new thoughts. The same environment has a way of making you loop back on the same thought patterns -- which is only beneficial if it's a stellar set of thoughts.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 6). In our Year of Lucky Fascinations, you will follow your attractions to new corners of the world and learn cultures, skills and studies along the way. You'll become like those you admire and live the ideology so appealing to you. More highlights: A long-standing conflict resolves, and you're paid, too. Three big checks fund a project. Hot tickets, winning teams and special events make memories. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 5, 8, 13 and 22.
