Just as cities and homes are usually designed with their residents in mind — not tourists — the same should go for your personal space, physical or emotional. On this lunar trine to Mercury in grounded earth signs, avoid tailoring your life, your home or your vibe to impress or accommodate outsiders. Instead, take advantage of the abundant Venus energy and make it all work beautifully for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve made the mistakes, adjusted, adapted and sharpened the skills you needed. This is why you’re patient with others today. You’ll be kinder in every direction, because your past stumbles allowed you to understand the stumbles of others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re making things of beauty, effectiveness or originality. It behooves you not to tell everyone what went into it. Let that be your little secret. It will be impactful to watch others try to replicate your magic — and realize they can’t.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Gossip isn’t always born in nastiness. Often it’s an attempt to bond with others over a shared frustration. Still, there are better ways to bond than in collective judgment. Lean into your loyalty and you’ll teach others. And if the conversation is rotten, leave it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You misjudged a situation, or someone’s feedback shook you. Now you want to take your time and really learn the situation. You’ve matured emotionally and intellectually, and you’re in a phase where discernment matters more than reaction.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Glamorous or dramatic situations call for your energy. Do they really deserve your presence, or are they just distractions from what you could be doing to forward your own aims? Pursuing your own dreams today will give you health and a glow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know you’re loved, not just because of the hard evidence of people showing up for you, listening to you or celebrating you. You know from the feeling. You will succeed in giving this sense of security and belonging to others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your name carries a kind of sparkle. When someone brings you up, others chime in with praise. This earned admiration has nothing to do with flashy, performative shows of affection. It’s evidence of the reputation you built with grace and reliability.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Insights will help you further develop your philosophy, a unique one coming together bit by bit. Someday this will be worthy of putting into a book, so be sure to write things down as they come to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re more than your accomplishments and the mark you make on the world. You’re the artist, not the painting. Don’t confuse your work with your worth. Try to identify more with your process, not the product or outcome.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Competition, jealousy and desire are powerful forces; when channeled wisely, they can spark ambition and creativity. But without clarity, they can cloud judgment. The important thing is to pause and breathe before you act (or press anything labeled “send”).
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To get strong, one must overcome some kind of opposition. To become brilliant, one must work around limitations. What if your current challenge is a disguised ladder to greatness?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even as you strive to improve, the best people in your life will celebrate you as you are at every point of the journey. There is something good in every stage. You’re working to become your best self — but you don’t have to wait until you “arrive” to be loved, valued or celebrated.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 16). You’re about to experience the sweetness of your own consistency. What you stuck with will pay you and the new things you commit to will start to sparkle with possibility early on. You’re building magnificence here. More highlights: a meaningful friendship becomes a partnership, a new source of income opens up and you’ll gain recognition in a world that once ignored you. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 35, 9, 13, and 20.
