Aries (March 21-April 19)
Clarity is attractive, calm is powerful, and most of all, joy is magnetic. It signals openness, resonance, and safety -- and others will naturally be drawn to that. Discovering what lights you up also lights the way for others to reach you. Alexa/Pixabay
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
No need to force what's already aligning. Now that a certain project or task is behind you, a new lightness takes hold -- and with it, a quiet magnetism. You'll draw people and opportunities in like gravity, without effort or chase. Alexa/Pixabay
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Though you're gifted in many ways, one talent shines especially bright today: your ability to make others feel truly seen. With your sharp mind and creative spirit, you've elevated much -- but your friendships remain your greatest and most enduring work of art. Alexa/Pixabay
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Something's got to give, and it will. The best reason to stay mellow and patient isn't just to improve someone else's experience, though that's a bonus. It's because you will feel calm, in control and quietly powerful in your own skin. Alexa/Pixabay
Leo (July 23-August 22)
When you encourage someone's strengths and passions, you help them grow into more of who they truly are. That's where healing happens. Focusing on their flaws, however, often reinforces fear and limitation instead of inspiring real change. Alexa/Pixabay
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Pacing matters. A relationship needs rhythm and flow before anyone can truly lead or follow. It's especially true in group work. Sync first. After you've been working as a "chorus line" for a while you can decide how to best spotlight one another's solo work. Alexa/Pixabay
Libra (September 23-October 23)
Impactful guidance uplifts rather than reduces. You don't pull a plant upward by criticizing its roots. You give it sunlight, water, and room. Encouragement is emotional sunlight that lets the grower do the growing, which is really the only way that works. Alexa/Pixabay
Scorpio (October 24-November 21)
You know this better than any: Transformation doesn't happen in comfort -- it happens on the edge, where things feel uncertain, risky, even a little scary. Shed old skins, take bold steps, and meet the new version of you. Alexa/Pixabay
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
You like being pushed past your comfort zone -- it keeps things interesting. But all the time? That's just draining. Growth needs room to rest, too. You'll get it after a moment of quiet clarity shows you what's actually worth the stretch. Alexa/Pixabay
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Don't forget that sometimes, just showing up is huge. There's so much richness in you -- courage, artistry, vulnerability, and a love that can be fierce. You're luminous. Alexa/Pixabay
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Pretend you're writing a message in a bottle to someone who needs to hear that they'll rise again, even after messing up and waking up with doubt in their gut. Because that person is out there, or in there. Alexa/Pixabay
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
A ritual will eventually bring clarity, joy, and the results you're after. But for now, it just feels like one more thing -- an extra pull on your willpower. That's OK. Know that ease is coming. Keep at it, and trust that consistency will turn effort into flow. Alexa/Pixabay
Today's Birthday (May 5)
You'll build something lasting from the vapors of a dream. You'll gain the confidence of someone influential, and their faith in you will ignite a new fire. A bold decision will change the trajectory of your career. More highlights: Harmony replaces tension in your personal realm. A heartfelt correspondence will affirm your path. Investments of time, money, and trust will bring strong returns. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 15, 28, 5, and 19. Lidya Nada/Unsplash
