The lunar influence going from passionate to more passion reminds us how strong feelings such as love, anger, excitement or grief can overwhelm the moment then live far beyond it. Because strong feelings make things happen. They sweep us up in their chaos and raw power, but they also eventually settle, and they leave. You'll look back and say, "Wow -- that was intense, but necessary."

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Feeling valued is a human need. It's completely natural to want appreciation and love. If someone makes you feel like it's "too much," it says more about their limitations than yours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll meet someone who asks follow-up questions, remembers what you've shared and shows real curiosity about your world. Their presence adds color, energy and delight to your day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have your own rhythm that's cool, quirky, offbeat and exciting to those lucky enough to be in your playful realm today. You'll make them laugh because you're not taking anything too seriously. By simply being, you invite others into your joy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's a meaningful difference between ambition, which lifts you up, and greed, which weighs others down. Your drive is strong, but so is your discernment. The success you'll be proud of is the kind that uplifts more than just you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may wonder about the future, but what you really want to know is how to be happy right now. You're looking for the message that "all will be well," and this is it. All will be well. Let the knowledge sink in and bring the deep peace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some people go looking for trouble, while others avoid it at all costs. You're only up for the kind of trouble that fits your curiosity like a glove worn by the spirit of adventure herself, beckoning you into an irresistible scenario that's worth the trouble.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Nature is powerful -- but don't forget, you are nature, too. Nature is in you and it is you. Today brings a test of strength, spirit or resolve. You'll face something larger than yourself and learn once more that you're a force to be reckoned with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Certain personalities burn through your interest like cheap incense. You're taking stock of your energy, your standards and your bandwidth, and will reserve your heart for those whose presence feels real, not curated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). After intense effort comes the essential pause. Don't wait for exhaustion to make the decision for you. Schedule rest like it's sacred -- because it is. Your future self will thank you for the care you give now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No stranger to strong emotion, once again you'll attract passionate people and thrive around those who are good at what they do and care enough to keep getting better. Meanwhile, keep refining your craft to stay someone worth matching.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because we're all wired differently, there is no universal solution. What works beautifully for someone else might not work for you at all. You may as well love the trial and discovery. It's the lack of a guarantee that keeps it exciting.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don't downplay your needs just to keep the peace. Being overly accommodating now could cost you more later. Today has a lot of competing threads, but you can absolutely shape the day into something that feels like momentum.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 13). How well you will know the joy of being truly seen. You'll share your truth in some powerful way -- on stage, on paper, across a dinner table -- and it will ripple outward in beautiful ways. More highlights: You'll travel in elevated style, with perks that once seemed out of reach. Physical vitality increases and you feel more attractive than ever. Cancer and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 24, 19, 3 and 31.
