Crushes aren't age-bound; they're psychological and physiological responses to admiration, longing, idealization and more. Even mature individuals are still human, with tender hearts and nervous systems wired for attraction, novelty and fantasy. The difference is that mature people often have a stronger filter; they may not act on these feelings, but when the moon and Mercury get dramatic in Leo, they might.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll strike a deal pleasing to all. How? You'll demonstrate genuine respect. You'll take the time to find out what others want -- and more importantly, what they need. Then, you'll customize your offering or find a customer that's a better fit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don't waste time being myopic about your scene. Open the conversation. Valuable insight comes from people who see what you're doing with objectivity. Distance brings clarity, whether it's physical, emotional or ideological.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You live in a way others can feel -- even if you never explain it. Even when you slip (as all humans do), you correct with grace and keep showing up as someone worth learning from. Your integrity radiates.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll bring about a change, first by talking about it, because talking leads to doing. Sometimes, you'll be talking only to yourself -- perfect! Use kind and constructive terms - not too intense. Call the work "light" and it will be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Authentic connection is the theme; what unfolds when people drop the performance and just show up. You have the emotional intelligence to accept and value people for how they think and express themselves, even when it's different from your own process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your emotions run deep and strangely specific today. Your body picks up what your mind can't yet name -- a shiver, a tug, a pause. Pay attention. These subtle cues are your map forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Listen closely; there's more to the story than you're being told. Fortune favors the curious. Get to the bottom of it and you'll be shown many interesting and useful truths along the journey.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Wind blows, water rushes, sand shifts -- you expect it. But when the ground moves, it's a surprise because such seismic changes aren't as common. The same principle applies though: Your stability comes from flexibility, not rigidity. Blessed be the benders.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've had wilder moments, but a kind of maturity settles over your personal life. You're treating love like something you nurture, not something you chase. That mindset -- sustained care, not constant thrill -- is what gives love a chance to endure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ambitious people like you aren't afraid of "no." If that's the answer, you want it fast so you can move on. The goal isn't to coax a lukewarm yes; it's to find the big, clear yes that actually leads somewhere. A half-hearted yes is just a slow no.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because someone has the capacity for greatness, speed or elevation doesn't mean they always need to use it. Sometimes the wiser or more effective choice is to move slowly, steadily and deliberately. How many times have you seen a winged bug crawl? Many.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the instincts to spot the real deal, the time savers and time wasters. Trust your read, and don't second-guess it. Your judgment has been sharpened by experience. You no longer need proof to know what you already feel.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 27). People want to be a part of your world. Spontaneity is alive, fun is a constant and the muses love you most. You'll keep people wondering, checking in, joining and initiating the happenings you love to be a part of. More highlights: Strong social connections of mutual benefit; two savvy, significant and beneficial financial moves; and family growth. More highlights: Capricorn and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 13, 27, 33, and 19.
