The cat walks through the world as if it were made for them, and who is to say it wasn't? The Mars move into Leo invites you to sharpen your instincts, take up space and pounce on what you want. Considering how some humans love to watch a cat in action, you might be providing a service by doing so. "In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." -- Terry Pratchett

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ever prudent, you will only start what you believe you can finish. Even so, the future is hard to read today, and there are forces outside your control. Through every dealing, you'll come to a new understanding about what is possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The cosmic omens strongly suggest bucking tradition, especially by crafting uncommon responses to the usual exchanges. After all, it makes no sense for an extraordinary person such as you to settle for ordinary interactions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do whatever it takes to stay on-purpose. Put it in writing. Keep a checklist close, and refer to it often. Encourage yourself with symbols and messages at every juncture -- the mirror, the wall, the door. Your ambitions count.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Emotional processing runs on its own schedule. Your feelings won't be bossed around, not by you, not by anyone, not now, not ever. This is a feature, not a bug. Your feelings are telling you something about your own care and thriving.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The positive things you receive won't come in the traditional, serious or expected forms. Instead, they wear Groucho Marx glasses or have a funny voice like Bugs Bunny. Maybe the humor itself is the real gift of the situation. You'll bond in play.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Take on your rivals to sharpen your own arguments, but don't take them on hoping they'll come around to your way of thinking. If you need more supporters, seek the undecided.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll vibe with the almost mystical qualities of the day. Playful souls will gravitate toward you, as will those seeking guidance. Share what you know with an open heart, and you'll be received as wise and welcoming rather than preachy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don't agree with everyone, but contradicting them only puts them on the defensive. Life works the same way. Resist what is and the universe takes offense. Welcome things without judgment and you'll earn the cosmic favor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Exaggeration is a cousin to lying, but embellishments are natural and harmless, as long as you make a point to temper them with "real talk" with your trusted inner circle and always remember the truth beneath the glitter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To love someone is to open yourself to the possibility of hurt. The risk is precisely what makes love meaningful. You'll be giving someone a bit of power over your heart. Deep connections are worth it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It might seem awkward to make your request knowing there are so many people in the world who have far less than you. Nonetheless, you can only live one life -- yours. Shouldn't it be the best you can make it? Advocate for yourself, or who else will?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's much you want to accomplish, but a fixation on achievement will miss the whole point of the journey. It's figuring out how to work together and what it means that gives a sense of fulfillment. Stay connected in the process.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 18). Think you've hit the peak? Nope. This year you'll take that mountain and blow it to pieces, rebuilding it into something uniquely yours. And though this creation bears your stamp, you'll still collaborate to solve complex problems and have major breakthroughs as a group. More highlights: Electrifying romance, travel and study, and your talents connect with the right crowd. Pisces and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 12, 33, 20 and 4.
