We evaluate the subject in two ways: content and form. Someone might mean well but express themselves awkwardly, poorly or without skill, so their message gets lost or misunderstood. Reconsider them. It's better than someone who says all the right things in a smooth, beautiful, strategic way, but without heart, which is a red flag of selfish intent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Big personalities, bold branding, flashy results -- these get attention, but it doesn't have to come from you. Pause before you buy into the hype. Is what you're witnessing actually admirable or just familiar, expensive or loud?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There is no benefit to giving too much, especially if you're giving it to the wrong people. Give to those who need the offering. Give the amount they need. That's how your energy uplifts. The exchange leaves everyone stronger.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You've hit the edge of the map, the place where comfort turns into a loop. This is a tricky place. This is where reflections warp. It is a risk to go beyond the map, but you need to in order to get a healthy and realistic perspective on things. Step out.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You inspire trust without forcing it, spark motivation without theatrics. You're a master of collaboration because you exude kindness and openness, which becomes its own atmosphere where people naturally offer their best. Whether or not you're in charge, you're leading.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Admiration will feel electric. It's a mirror, really, because you're drawn to someone's qualities out of recognition. The boldness, sensitivity, brilliance and humor are inside you. Even if undeveloped, dormant or hidden under fear, there's something in you that wants to rise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll shine in different versions of yourself depending on who you're with. What once felt false now feels generous -- adapting to others is often the kindest move. Your ease in setting ego aside is a quiet mark of your emotional sophistication.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The whole purpose of a project is to have fun -- at least it was. You can get back to that. Remember the origin of the journey. Refuse to let anything get in the way of that spark. The joy wants you to chase it, but it will also let you catch it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're so tender and clear today -- threading through the work, stresses, sweetness, insight and a bit of longing, with the kind of presence that's realer than real. You're up, you're working, you're loving, you're here.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be part of a conversation that alters your course. Someone who once challenged your sense of self will now affirm your growth. Eventually, you'll turn this personal win into a success that affects many others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The very thought of a certain person -- the one who is a playmate of the soul -- will animate your imagination with sweetness. Yes, it comes in an odd form. You can deal with dynamics that are a little lopsided, incomplete or strange. It could be even better this way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one who preaches from a mountaintop will get agreement during the sermon, but will have very little effect on daily life and all the behavior that goes into it. The one who's connecting eye to eye has far more influence over actual events.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Fixating on a specific form of success can create unnecessary suffering. Open your mind to opportunities that don't match your mental image but have the potential to become a source of belonging, stability and joy.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 15). A year of doing things the easy way, with excellent timing and uncanny luck, soon to reach a goal that once felt way out of your league. People will take their cues from your energy -- levity and brevity are the magic pairing for optimal fun. More highlights: Friends are the gift that keeps giving. You'll help someone in a way that changes your life, too. You'll earn trust and rise in your field. Aquarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 10, 50, 33 and 19.
