Happy birthday (May 16): You're as committed as anyone to becoming better, stronger, smarter and wiser. Can you help it if the path to those things happens to cut through some very pleasurable territory? If it doesn't feel like you're working quite hard enough for the cosmic bounty that comes to you, your philanthropy will shore up the difference.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Feelings are waves. They rise into an identifiable shape and then hit the shore and go back to being part of the big ocean of emotion. Don't fear the feeling. It's just another form for energy to be for a while.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is said that good stories seldom come from happy experiences. So it is with bittersweet sentiment that the muses announce this day as pleasant to experience, if lacking the ingredients of a good tale.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): No explaining. People with the experience don't need an explanation, and to the inexperienced, it's equally useless. Action will be the teacher, the lesson and the homework.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You play many roles throughout the course of the day, all of which reflect you. Just don't forget that you're the actor and not the part. If the choice you made isn't working, you have the freedom to play it differently.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In a moment of complete relaxation, an answer will come to you accompanied by all the relief and satisfaction of finding a set of lost keys. Indeed, this will unlock future doors.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The emotions and intent of an action are intrinsic to the alchemical properties of its result. The same action taken for love will have a different result if done from a place of fear. You'll see evidence of the principle today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When dealing with distracted people (and it's safe to say that most people you'll deal with today will have an attention deficit), assume that you must capture their attention several times throughout the interaction.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Complaining comes easily to most. Just about anyone can describe a problem. The next steps — brainstorming solutions, settling on a few to try, gaining the cooperation of others, etc. — are for the advanced corps. That's you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You like to be clear about your reasons for doing things, especially the things that scare you. Consider that maybe "because it scares me" is reason enough to do a thing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You'll find that you don't have to change everything just because you now understand something you didn't before. Instead, you'll adapt your style to fit your new understanding.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Wanting shapes perspective. Every possible route to the wanted thing gets enlarged, while everything that's not the wanted thing shrivels and shrinks. Wanting something very badly warps the worldview in equal measure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The theories that work out on the page but don't work out in real life can be considered exercises or games, not serious contenders. Actual results trump theory every time.
DOMESTIC MOON
It’s an odd fact of real estate that abandoned houses don’t fare as well as those that have been respectfully and joyfully lived in. Relationships are like houses in that way, and however sturdily they were built, they still require all kinds of upkeep. The moon in domestic Cancer favors the maintenance of the structures and relationships that feel like home.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
The talk of caterpillars and butterflies often implies that one is better than the other, though the idea that there’s a hierarchy of existence might also be an absurdity concocted by a species of restless strivers. What if butterflies flit around feeling quite old indeed? They have, after all, cheated death many times over by that winged stage. Every butterfly is an elder who might, for all we know, wax nostalgic about its more grounded days when all it had to think about was eating everything in sight without being swallowed up by a bird or frog.
These are the first days of Jupiter in emotionally elastic Pisces. They are also the last days of the Taurus sun, featuring a wise and auspicious angle to Pluto to lend flexibility of perspective. Can you see the caterpillar life as every bit as wondrous as the butterfly life? And more to the point, can you embrace the way it is, knowing it’s going to change?
Another consideration has to do the countdown to Saturn’s retrograde. No person is completely loyal to another person, group or ideology. Mankind’s very existence has depended, at least to some degree, on the essential part of human nature that is self-interest. Do not be surprised by the shifts in loyalties that will occur this week. It is the way of evolution, if not progress.
CELEBRITY PROFILES
Megan Fox has several new projects coming out in the months ahead, including the horror film “Till Death” about a woman handcuffed to her dead husband. Fox is a Venus-ruled Taurus who had her eye on the acting life since watching the “The Wizard of Oz” as a child. Born under a Leo moon, her creativity is ever-expanding. Mars and Neptune in Capricorn lend grit, business sense and an ambitious, competitive nature.
