A past relationship, skill or dream proves valuable in your new chapter.

Aries (March 21-April 19) The situation that comes up today is not exactly like the last time, but how hard could it be? Experience doesn’t provide all the answers, but it does offer confidence that you’ll figure things out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) It’s wonderful how friendship can survive distance, timing and the complications of adult life. You don’t have to talk every day to matter deeply to one another. When you reconnect, you pick up right where you left off.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Flirting won’t look like flirting. It may look like common courtesy, professional diligence or mild annoyance. Then you notice that one person keeps showing up, asking questions and extending the conversation. The plot thickens.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Your wisdom nets you good fortune on several fronts. You can feel a feeling without becoming the feeling. Instead of, “I’m worried, therefore I must act,” you say, “I’m worried. Let me figure out what that’s about.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You don’t have to wait for everyone else to decide what they’re doing before making your own move. You’re more adaptable than you realize. Whether plans change, people shift or circumstances evolve, you’ll find a place that works.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll soon be hashing out the details of a deal. If you do your homework, you’ll be impressively articulate and persuasive. Take the time to get clear in your own mind about what you want and what you’re willing to trade for it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You’re really coming up with good ones today. Sometimes thinking is your favorite activity. It feels nice when those synapses connect. And you don’t need anyone else to understand the enthusiasm, but they’ll feel it and lean in.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) You’re smart, and you’re strong. But those aren’t the qualities that bring home today’s prize. It’s your adaptability that matters. Charles Darwin observed that it’s not the strongest that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Saying the right thing to the wrong audience can make you feel like it’s you, like you’re wrong. But being outnumbered isn’t the same thing as being wrong. Stand your ground. In a different room, the same words play like beautiful music.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Something you’ve been doing for weeks, months or even years starts producing visible results. The improvement may seem sudden to others, though you know exactly how much effort went into it. Persistence finally has something to show for itself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The very thing you once considered too strange to mention is the exact thing that endears and connects you to a kindred soul, proving that it’s not always easy to tell a person’s sensibility. We are often more alike than we think.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Wanting comfort and stability is understandable, especially for those with firsthand knowledge of how chaotic life can get. And yet, protection from uncertainty can also mean protection from what makes life vivid. The story doesn’t start until you want something badly enough to be inconvenienced by it.
