Some people are fascinated by snakes; others are terrified. One might conclude that snakes inspire both pleasure and panic -- but in truth, snakes cause nothing. It's the mind that assigns meaning. Apply this principle widely, and fear begins to dissolve. The current astrological omens bring reasoning that is both philosophical and grounding. Odd News
Aries (March 21-April 19)
A quiet day brings the loudest kind of healing, not through drama or grand gestures but through stillness. With no chasing or fixing, your mind settles, your heart catches up, and peace arrives in a way you didn't know you needed. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You've been steady in the work, even when it felt invisible. Quiet progress, small wins, resilience on repeat. Now, the results begin to show—tangible, undeniable. This isn't luck or timing. This is you showing up. This is magic with muscle. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
You can mentor someone through your example, through your care and through your failures and falls, too. Sharing the vulnerability is profound. In doing this, you give something most people don't get from their teachers: the truth. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
To change the picture, first pop it out of the frame. You can't transform what's still trapped inside old definitions, outdated assumptions, or someone else's idea of what it should be. Step back. Reframe it. Only then can something new emerge. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You'll take a risk in the area where you most need a breakthrough. It doesn't fall into a neat category -- love, creativity, and career are all woven together right now. But the act of taking a risk signals belief in possibility. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
When you see others struggling, your instinct is to step in and help without hesitation. Allow yourself the same grace when you're the one having a hard time. Helping is a privilege -- don't deny someone theirs. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
It can be so fun being you! You resist the urge to "do more" and feel grounded instead of guilty. A walk, a nap, a good meal, or journaling brings emotional release. You spend time alone and realize you don't feel lonely -- you feel whole. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Something that used to trigger you doesn't anymore. You notice the stillness where reaction used to live -- and that calm, that quiet pause, is proof that healing isn't always loud, but it is always life-altering. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
When you give of yourself, as is your nature, the exchange becomes more than just words. It becomes a moment of impact, intimacy, and even transformation. The conversation shifts something, not just for them but for you, too, owing to your quiet magic. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You'll stop chasing and start magnetizing, drawing in exactly what aligns. A lucrative offer will come your way—not because you pursued it, but because you became the kind of person it naturally finds. What's yours arrives through gravity, not grasping. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Just as a whisper can speak louder than a shout, dialing things down can amplify their impact. Today, less truly is more. Try fewer appointments, tighter budgets, and the simplicity that sharpens intention. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
There's chronological age, and then there's spirit age. People often start to feel "old" not when their body slows down but when they fear change, failure, or loss. Stay curious, stay brave, and your spirit stays forever young. Pete Linforth/Pixabay
Today's Birthday (May 6)

Celebrity Profiles
The cast of the upcoming comedy "Jay Kelly" features three Academy Award winners, one of whom is George Clooney, a Taurus who embodies the typical associated qualities -- he's grounded, steady, and effortlessly sensual. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure, and Clooney has that unmistakable charm and physical appeal that feels timeless rather than trendy. Clooney also has a strong sense of social justice and civic duty, which is why the United Nations has named him a Messenger of Peace. Nicolas Genin/Wikimedia
