This stage of the Aries solar journey attunes us to power dynamics. Consider that some who identify as "givers" really use giving as a form of control, obligation or power. It's not giving in the selfless way you think of it -- it's transactional. When the "giver" feels they're not getting the response they want, they flip because their giving was never truly about generosity -- it was about control.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A habit is like a groove in the record. Even if something happens to interrupt it, it can be lifted, reset, played anew. The mind, like water, follows the path of least resistance until the path is altered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have great perspective shifts. You'll question a belief you've always held just to see if it still fits. Though you may stand with various groups and for various ideals, your true allegiance is to something inside you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone close still doesn't know your likes and dislikes. Perhaps it never came up. It may feel a little awkward to be figuring out the basics at this stage, but it's never too late to teach people how to treat you. You'll do this with care and subtlety.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can and should leave an uninspiring environment. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but at least in some corner of your mind that grows and stretches into a plan, then into action steps, then into a new future somewhere that's a better fit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're astute. You'll notice what others don't. Sharing what you see is not always necessary or beneficial. Be strategic, figure out who is receptive, and of those people, who needs to know. Then move on to finding the kindest way to say things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you have with someone clicked instantly, bypassing logic and striking the core. Effortless at times, rare and magnetic, this kind of instinct is unlikely to be replaced, so you'll simply cherish it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's something you'd like to stop doing, and sometimes it's easy, but other times the craving is a pang you can't ignore. Add a distraction to help you through the hours and days. Even the sharpest craving will eventually become dull.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Fantasies can take flight without warning. To ground them, sometimes you need to tether them like balloons, anchoring them with something substantial that's connected to the ground of reality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your work will surprise you by becoming richer and more layered, something you couldn't have planned but suddenly can't imagine any other way. Stay on the pursuit as there's much to learn here, including unintended meanings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You grew up with people who had particular traits, and that dynamic has become familiar. Now it feels like home, not always in a good way, but it doesn't have to. You'll get a sense of deja vu today and relish the chance to flip the script.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Givers and takers fit together with the satisfying snap of puzzle pieces today, and you're more comfortable being the giver. Just be careful not to invest in relationships at too high a personal cost. It doesn't need to sting to be meaningful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The word "growth" implies getting bigger, but oddly enough, a lot of growth is about getting smaller. By needing less and having more humility, you develop into a metaphorically bigger person.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 30). In this, your year of "The Open Mind," your life will spark with a wide variety of influences, relationships and experiences to grow by. You bring a sharp intellect and keen curiosity to each new circumstance. More highlights: You'll streamline your property or trade up for profit, you'll adventure with your favorite people, and an ancestral bestowment will send you on a fascinating quest. Capricorn and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 7, 10, 21 and 38.
