The first full day of Leo season brings strife between Venus and Mars -- a cosmic flare-up that calls on our lion-hearted nature. The most profound love asks for no transaction, no performance, no proof. Do you feel worthy of that kind of love? Worthiness isn't a feeling -- it's a state. Do you feel capable of offering it? Ability begins with intention.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's something beautiful about unfinished business -- the way it invites you back but never in the same way. You'll revisit a person, place or project with fresh eyes and be inspired to make the move you weren't ready for until now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don't need a big reason to do something interesting. Your curiosity is reason enough. A detour today brings strange delight and an encounter you'll think about for weeks, possibly longer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The song that lit you up yesterday falls flat today. The meal that once hit the spot leaves you wanting something else. You've changed -- maybe just a little, but enough to need new inputs, new flavors, new sparks.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The energy moves differently today -- more sideways than forward, more inward than out. Don't think of this as a stall. Think of it as a reorientation. It's a chance to check your tools, glance at the map, re-knot your laces. The work ahead needs this kind of care, and so do you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're vivid, honest, complex in a way that's rare. You bring your whole self to the day -- your wit, your pain, your joy, your power -- and that kind of presence is magnetic, calling something real out of others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The qualities you prize will be present around you -- people with humor, enthusiasm and initiative are in your midst and easily spotted. Reach out because there's a team here just waiting to be formed. Any small gesture will start the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Something clicks into place when you prioritize your needs. You'll get real about what matters, not in theory but in how you spend your energy. You'll say exactly what needs saying. You'll feel heard, and more importantly, seen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In love or art or work, you're drawn to what has heat, even if it's messy. You'll meet a match that fires your instincts. What follows won't be simple, but it will be raw, real and affecting, altering your thinking and making you wiser.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your natural elegance includes knowing when not to speak. Someone else stumbles, and you make the powerful choice to let them keep their dignity. It's a quiet gesture that makes you unforgettable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Risk is relative. What looks bold, reckless or daring to one person might be the only logical move for someone else depending on their circumstances, resources or urgency. So, before jumping in, learn where everyone is starting from.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be offered a shortcut, but you might actually prefer the longer route. It allows more interaction, more observation, more of life. You're collecting details -- the color of the sky, the story behind someone's look. The whole day is a keepsake.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Maybe the world will gently tilt toward you and you'll know what you have to do, but if not, that's OK, too. Just act. One thing will lead to another, and then it will be as though the decision makes itself through your actions.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 23). This year reveals your mythic side. You rise through challenges with the focus of a hero and the fire of a muse. The company you keep will shimmer with intrigue and lift you higher. More highlights: a ceremony that has you laughing through tears of pride, a disagreement that turns into a breakthrough, and a reinvention that beautifies your everyday. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 14, 33, 7 and 25.
