Do you hear the wild call? There are many worlds within this one, each governed by its own pulse. Even chaos has choreography. If you're the least bit curious about the raw texture of aliveness, you needn't travel far. Just show up fully to the life you've got, and the wildness in your soul will meet you there, ready to play, hunt, dazzle and burn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're too deep in the game -- a position gamblers call "pot committed." It's not an ideal place to make decisions from. What if you weren't so invested? No pride involved? If it was all new, what would you do?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today will be all right, in the broad, flexible English sense of the phrase, meaning "fine," "spectacular," "agreed" or "we'll see." The point is, the day isn't fixed. It's full of potential, and you get to determine the tone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Who do you want to know? It's a question many don't think to ask. You're feeling socially adventurous, and looking to connect with people who possess a little spontaneity. It keeps things interesting. Do avoid the unreliable or inconsistent, though.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You make things feel more special or beautiful just by being part of them. Someone around you will be uplifted and feel more confident because of how you engage with them. You'll feel attractive and powerful in that moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you're more into the idea of something than the actual thing, that's a signal. Instead of forcing it, go somewhere new. A change of venue might solve more than a spreadsheet ever could.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are not a puzzle for them to solve. Though, maybe you are a window they haven't looked in to properly yet. When they do (and they most certainly will), they'll know, actually, you were never the window -- no, you were the world.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your social shine has been the center of attention, but today, you're choosing to step back. It's not because you're hurt or shy. You're just taking necessary quiet time to rest so you can recharge and show up fully when you do want to shine again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Without a goal, how will you know if you score? You won't, and that's the point. Take away the goal today and do pointless things if only to remind yourself that living is its own prize.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll wonder about people's motives -- not paranoia, just noticing that what people want is not always what you want to give. Not everyone should be allowed access to your inner world or personal life. Choose what to reveal, when and to whom.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just because it started one way doesn't mean you're locked in forever. Even if it's something very good, you are allowed to reevaluate. At any point you can change your mind about what you give your time, energy and self to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). We sometimes show up in the simplified version of ourselves, especially with certain people because it was easier once, it was safer or it just fit the dynamic. But you don't have to flatten yourself for anyone today. You'll be around people who are ready for more of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Real opportunities don't have to proclaim themselves to get your attention because you already possess the appetite, goal or curiosity inside you, and all they do is stir it a bit. You'll be reminded how not everything labeled an "opportunity" is automatically a good fit.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 25). Welcome to a year when you dare to do the outsider move, the one they advised against but you absolutely feel in your bones, and the universe agrees. More highlights: You've a honed instinct for what's real and necessary, and you'll be paid well for applying it. You'll see where you belong, and you'll have fun finding that fit, snugging yourself into the social and professional situations that best embrace, support and delight you. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 22, 9 and 30.
