Magnificent Nerve
Wealthy amateur soprano Florence Foster Jenkins performed with astonishing confidence despite her poor singing, and she eventually sold out Carnegie Hall. The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in Leo highlights the audacity that makes you lose all self-consciousness. What do you love so much you'd risk making a fool of yourself for it?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The idea that gets introduced today may sound absurd, but there's an undeniable practical benefit in there too. You're open-minded and will let ideas marinate in the realm of possibilities. A week is long enough to see if a use emerges.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A new occurrence will have you wondering: Is this a one-off, or is it just the beginning of a rhythm in which this same occurrence happens every day? The important thing is not to catastrophize or romanticize. It's simply too soon to tell.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don't plan to tell stories; they just organically come up. The way it comes out can surprise you. You may not realize until you're halfway through that this is actually a performance. Keep going like it's your job to keep 'em entertained.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You want to show someone you love them. A grand gesture would be a grand risk -- but so would an intimate, direct, spontaneous or out-of-character gesture. What works? Tuning in to who they are and synching up to what they need.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be tempted to show off, and why shouldn't you? What you've got to share is helpful, useful and wonderful. Put your signature on it. Deliver it from front and center stage. Your confidence is part of the entertainment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've been doing what you're good at religiously and daily for what feels like forever. Now do what you're terrible at. The first attempt may be spectacularly awkward, but being a beginner has its pleasures.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll take a romantic risk that feels almost embarrassingly obvious. Good. Let someone know they're special to you. They'll enjoy being admired, and you'll enjoy discovering how much affection they're willing to return.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will get the size of audience you want -- the one that allows you to connect, educate or entertain as intended. It will be the same show whether the crowd is three or three thousand.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you're proposing today sounds outrageous even to you, but someone will say yes before you've finished explaining it. Now you've got a partner in crime. Start figuring out the details.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There's someone in your midst who could change your fortunes if you dare to make a pitch. Your aims are ambitious, so the ask will be bigger than anything you've attempted before, but you'll have the facts to support it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Go ahead and volunteer even if you feel unqualified because you'll either get qualified on the job or you'll be re-assigned to a better fit. Your enthusiasm will endear you to someone who knows the ropes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have expensive taste and an idea that could cost a fortune. Instead of scaling down the dream, you'll get creative about how to afford it. Every time you share your vision, you increase the odds of making it happen.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). In your Year of Psychic Hits, your intuition is even more dialed up than usual. You'll have so many instances of remarkable, useful and sometimes downright stunning intuition that it becomes a way of life. More highlights: Attracting exactly who and what you need to make your day-to-day sing, following an inspired itinerary that involves new friends and places, and your most lucrative side hustle to date. Taurus and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 33, 1, 19, 7 and 40.
