Love and logic will part ways and come back together like strands in a braid. So when behavior doesn't make sense, don't worry about it. It's possible to give love without understanding and understanding without agreement, and today brings both dynamics into the mix. Use the Venus square to Pluto to learn something useful about a relationship that tests your patience.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Algorithms rarely show you something that doesn't intrigue you or make you want to pull out your wallet -- there go your attention and money. Contrastingly, the analog living you do today will reward your attention instead of competing for it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid spending any time at all noticing or lingering in the sorrow of unpossessed talents while your potentiality waits for attention, praise and the hours of work it will take to make the talents you possess in abundance absolutely gleam.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You've spent enough time in your head lately, so it will be great to get a win you can feel in your body or see in the physical world, such as sore legs after a long walk, a point on the score board or a room you cleaned yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're reminded how life is always rolling along and relationships along with it, shifting in ways perhaps undetectable over the course of days and weeks, yet each little change creates a different degree of depth, distance or temperature.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're so open to the muses, not just for yourself and your own work, but for those you're sure to inspire along the way. You're all contributing to something that's bigger than the sum of its parts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don't be overly concerned with making everything easy for others today. Some need it, sure. But if you make yourself too useful to entitled types, you could be doing yourself a disservice, as they will never stop taking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Believe in your powers of consecration. You can imbue a subject with a sacred energy, which exists as much in you as it does in any. What's sacred to you is sacred, period.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Maybe someone's loyalty runs so deep they would be there for you whether you were nice to them or not, but the fact is that you're unfailingly kind and never take them for granted, and they show up for you again today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's no need for postgame analysis because today's cosmic gift is the clear, clean, obvious and undeniable move that all can see and comprehend immediately. This doesn't happen every day. The whole game will progress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel the strong need to surround yourself with things that reflect who you are because it's extremely important now that you put your whole self into what you're creating. It needs the values, taste and sensibility that's all you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll solve a long-standing problem with one elegant move. The answer may be so simple that you'll laugh at the elaborate plans in the recycling bin. It's a testament to your beautiful thought processes. Sometimes they take the scenic route.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When is it appropriate and useful to say everything you want to say? Almost never. Even so, adults still manage to communicate with grace inside the realization that everyone is, to some degree, holding back.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 15). In your Year of the Gentle Rain, your wild heart is nourished by all that you need to thrive, and it seems to come straight from heaven in measures that are so easy to absorb. More highlights: Education is immediately applied to better relationships and lucrative work. Peace, pride and production as you build together with chosen family. Hot tickets and fun. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 10, 12, 9 and 15.
