Happy birthday (Aug. 31): There's a difference between being spontaneous and reactive. You'll have bright ideas and follow through without fear to create experiences that elevate you and delight your crew. Even so, this year sees you as less reactive in your decisions, pausing for wisdom to set in.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Transitions are disruptive, but don't let that stop you from making a change. You'll be so glad you seized the opportunity, and then it won't take you very long to settle into a new groove.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When you slip into that certain mind-set, it's as though you can fix anything. From the smallest decision to the grandest long-term plan, there are no problems that resist clear thinking.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): When it's not convenient, practical or safe to travel in the typical ways, micro travel may be just as fortifying. There is so much you haven't seen in your own backyard.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): How productive you are today will have everything to do with the amount of interference you get from yourself. Why would you interfere with your own work? A wonderful question that only you know the answer to.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotions come and go. Moods settle in for a handful of minutes or hours or days. Today, you have a talent for shaking off certain feelings and turning them around before they settle into full-blown moods.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It takes guts to be assertive, but the alternative is that you let your wishes, preferences and needs go unknown and run the risk of later becoming unsatisfied or disgruntled.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You know that the way you talk to yourself profoundly affects your mood, and yet, often, you are not aware of the particulars. Today, there will be obvious benefits to listening in closely to that you-to-you dialogue.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Is it really possible to organize your thoughts, and if so, how so? Alphabetically? First come, first served? By numerical urgency level? You'll intuitively stumble upon the best way and have astounding clarity for the effort.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You'll find a simple path to feeling better. You'll pause to reflect on what happened, what you felt about it and whether there might be another way to think about it than the reaction that caused you so much pain.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): To irrationally anticipate threats or dangers is just an overactive version of the related rational skill. Consider your vigilance a talent, and then rely on outside opinions to keep yourself in check.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Words that follow lines of logic and heart connect you to humanity -- illogical, heartfelt words perhaps even more so. Logic without heart is practically useless, if not dangerous today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are trying to have more discipline around something. The occasional lapses don't mean too much. What makes a difference is what you do most often and persistently. Also that you don't quit.
THE FULL MOON EVE
People have their favorite emotions, some of which may be feelings that are uncomfortable or even terrible. Why would anyone choose to feel bad? Familiarity. Unresolved karma. The eve of the full moon urges awareness of and compassion for our emotional habits.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION
Q: My husband and I speak two languages to one another, his native tongue and mine. We are pregnant. My mother thinks we should speak only my language at home, and his family thinks we should speak mostly theirs. What do you think? — Multilingual Sagittarius.
A: Some believe that if everyone in the world were to speak the same language, people would be more connected, unified and galvanized. Worldly Sagittarius realizes intuitively that we would also be more rigid, homogenized and, ultimately, weaker.
Each language has its own beauty and strength. Each language has its own domain of power, and its own failings, too.
And so it is that even inside of ourselves, there are different languages and nary a comprehensive translation book or even a glossary of terms to reference. The heart has its communication style; the body has another; and even within the body, there are nuances of dialect. The stomach communicates differently than foot muscles or the pituitary gland.
Maybe we will never be able to fully understand the diversity of language in the world at large or our own inner world, but we may find that there is an even greater richness of experience available when we are present to our differences in the spirit of respect, tolerance, openness and wonder.
As for your household, you already know the answer. Speak all the languages you possibly can.
