You're electric with originality this year. Your bold spirit, layered heart and mold-breaking genius light up all you touch.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today highlights the relationship between flexibility, control and creativity.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Don't grip too tightly. Let things breathe. That's where artistry, ease and unexpected brilliance come from. This could apply to artistic work, problem-solving and more today.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). You're especially skilled at conflict resolution today. First, you stay calm and curious. Then, you reflect back what others feel so they feel heard. Finally, you offer a way forward that honors everyone involved.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). The way you've faced your own contradictions is a sign of courage. You've brought your shadow out into the light, and instead of trying to fix it or hide it, you've witnessed it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). It will feel good to stop pretending something is working when it isn't. It can also be a bit messy, but honesty is like that.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've put something out there. You made the request, sent the invitation, told the truth… and now you wait.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're cautious and self-protective by nature. Today someone resonates with you precisely because you feel stable, like home.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People confuse convention with correctness now. When they say there's a "right way," they mean a familiar or widely accepted way, not the only effective one.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Wisdom sometimes means delaying gratification or tolerating discomfort now to get something more meaningful later.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The fates favor tenacity and endurance. These qualities come from within.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won't know your full potential -- or be able to share it -- unless you try things that stretch you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because someone thinks they've earned your agreement, time or energy doesn't mean they have. You're rewriting the terms. You get to choose your own role.
Meditation
"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
-- Mark 7:21-23
Our problem lies within each of us. Sin is the problem. Jesus is the Answer.
