The sun opposes Neptune, planet of dreams, then forms trines to Uranus and Pluto. This solar move serves as a challenge to illusions and delusions, but it’s not about seeing through the ruse. It’s about admitting that we often don’t really know what’s possible, so why limit ourselves? One person’s delusion is another person’s eventual triumph, so why not just believe?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s a day to honor your inner disruptor. You’re not a “rebel without a cause.” Your purpose is as clear as your rebel heart is strong. You’ll know exactly which rules to break, when to resist conformity and how to stir up the freedom energy.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). With some people, when all is said and done, more is said than done. You know who fits the description, and you’ll enjoy them for their conversation, but when you need results, like you do today, they won’t make the list.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Decluttering narrows your options in the best way. With fewer distractions, you’ll stay focused on the main goals. By clearing the noise, you’ll avoid wasting energy deliberating over the things that, in the end, won’t matter.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s the plight of many excellent leaders — much of what you do for the group goes unacknowledged. But “unacknowledged” doesn’t mean unimportant. Keep going. It’s about the work, and the credit might even be a detriment at this juncture.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In relationships, too much of any one quality gets old. You prefer relationships that are like a meal with different flavors. A dash of sour (challenging), salty (direct), spicy (passionate) or bitter (realism) to keep things alive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll question whether an obligation is real or self-imposed. Looking around, you’ll notice how others handle the same thing. If you’re doing more, ask yourself why. Your clarity about what’s truly required will bring ease and freedom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will find yourself so focused on the work — and it’s something necessary, fascinating and possibly fun — that you will be blissfully unaware of how others are experiencing you. They find you utterly extraordinary.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pushing for agreement can actually create tension or false harmony. Communities and relationships rarely thrive because everyone thinks alike. Let differences coexist. Others relax, drop defensiveness and reciprocate your respect.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve a gift for synthesis today. Finding the link between different ideas and blending them will be your problem-solving trick. You’ll take pieces that look unrelated and weave them into something cohesive, and even beautiful.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People sense you like but don’t need them, which will work well for you because it’s an attractive look. Today, you hang back, wait and see or bow out gracefully until an offer gets sweeter.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Fresh experiences have your mind leaping into imagination. You’re well aware of how the mind can also spin tales, overestimate, underestimate and distort reality. You’re really good at using the gifts of creativity and recognizing the less helpful aspects.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be focused on one particular person and how to bring them happiness. Specific and personal kindness can be more powerful than a grand gesture or public display. A simple act will go straight to the heart.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 23). Welcome to your Year of the Muse. You’ll spark delight everywhere, inspiring others while becoming the artist of your own story. Your voice carries, your style commands, and your humor wins more than laughs. More highlights: an intoxicating romance, perfect timing on a property move, and entertainment that becomes opportunity. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 12, 29, 33 and 50.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: A Bruce Springsteen biopic is on the way: “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss. The film’s focus is on the making of Springsteen’s deeply personal 1982 album “Nebraska.” And so continues the legacy of the rock icon singing the songs of hope and resilience as an answer to the struggle and disillusionment of everyday human experience. Springsteen was born when the sun, moon, Mercury and Neptune were all in Libra, the sign of art, harmony and unity.
