Something you gave up on gets resurrected, and this time it works brilliantly.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Willpower is like a battery that drains over the course of the day. Make it easy for yourself to make good choices by anticipating what you’ll need in low-motivation moments. Don’t rely on willpower; rely on setup.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The right phrasing can inspire confidence. Precision communicates competence. People sense when you mean what you say. Put thought and practice into your word choices. It will be the difference between closing a deal or not.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Perfection can never fully be achieved. There’s always one more improvement, one more detail, one more layer of refinement. Even though absolute perfection is an impossibility, the pursuit itself leads you to the sublime.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Feelings are power sources. Strong feelings such as anger, fear or the elation of love can make your heart pound and your body spring alive. Think of them as huge power plants. There’s no need to shut them down; direct the energy instead.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Boredom is a signal to pursue something different. When you’re truly interested in something (or someone), curiosity flows naturally and opens attention. Attention is love in motion. Follow fascination instead of trying to lead it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Closure is efficiency. You’ve gathered all the lessons this situation can offer. Stop rereading old chapters and put that focus to better use. Reinvest the same energy in people and projects that give something back.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A stumble teaches you where you need to build up strength. Start with one steadying habit: move your body, pay a bill, call a friend. Do it again tomorrow. Small consistencies become the structure that keeps your world from wobbling.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) You used to see a situation and think, “This shouldn’t be happening.” But now, you’re more effective. You see the futility in resisting what is. By accepting it all, you waste no energy. You simply commit wholly to a solution.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You carry both fire and tenderness in the same vessel: You’re tough enough to follow through, but kind enough to let go when you need to. You have the discipline to meet goals and the softness to forgive the unmet ones.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In business, retention means keeping what’s valuable: customers, employees and assets. Today it applies to your own life: Keep the value and cancel what drains you. Whether a subscription or a relationship, stop paying for anything that no longer enriches your spirit.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone pays attention to where you go and how you get there. They watch to see if you travel directly or wander perilously. Don’t forget that the witnessing is a form of love. Sometimes you’re the shepherd; sometimes you’re the sheep.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You have habits you notice and ones you don’t. The invisible ones run the show. Step back for a clearer view. You need feedback, journaling and other honest mirrors to help you see what’s really driving you.
