What do challenge, competition, status and strategy have to do with a day that honors fathers? Everything. Two squared aspects provide the paternal scaffolding in the astral backdrop, highlighting the quiet pressure many fathers feel to provide, protect and perform. Fatherhood isn't just a role -- it's a dynamic tension. The love shows up in effort, in structure, in trying hard even when you're unsure how.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're back on purpose with your mission to understand, absorb and know a certain corner of the world. You won't get knocked off balance easily because you're not just riding the waves, you're steering the ship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No crisis to manage? Good times invite a different kind of strength. Relationships rely less on urgency and more on intention. That freedom is an opportunity to be creative together, to explore joy and build trust by choice instead of by necessity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are things working in your favor that you don't fully understand. Intuition, luck, grace, timing, even the quiet help of others -- all these things don't need your belief to function. Something clicks and feels "meant to be."

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're the wild card today -- powerful and hard to define. You have the range to adapt, connect, lead, support or surprise. Since you're so versatile in how you can fit into a situation, decide how you want to play it before they do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's heart-to-heart communication all the way today. You don't need to know exactly what you want to say before you express yourself. It's as though you have angels of eloquence guiding your every word.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Instead of gripping tightly to how something should go, you open up to how it could go, and that openness creates room for delight, spontaneity and beauty you may have missed were you fixated on a specific outcome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Adventure calls. You may agree to things you've never done before. Keep your spirit light, focus on the task, and let self-consciousness go. Felicity favors you; all will pan out beautifully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most people hate being wrong. Not you. When new experiences fly in the face of what you previously thought to be true, you adjust quickly. Being a fast learner will pay off with an enviable bevy of improvements.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is about attentive, intuitive connection. You'll show care not just by what you say but by how closely you pay attention. Learning about people is part of how you respect them. There's useful information in unspoken cues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Misaligned parts will not function properly. Whether it's gears in a motor or gears in the mind, notice what's out and put it back in. Make sure intention matches word, word matches deed, and love flows through all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Do what you feel like doing. You can't operate like this every day, because you don't always feel like doing what's healthiest and best for you. But give yourself a break today. The muscle of discipline needs rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're drawn to those who don't resort to status symbols or bragging rights to impress you. Those who stand strong in who they are without needing to announce it give you the most, including inspiration.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 15). Welcome to a season of intensity, beauty, and full-spectrum living. Your world will be painted in lush color. Vivid encounters bring out your creativity, fill your hours with your favorite kind of fun and nurture relationships rich in emotional depth. More highlights: Financial risks pay off. You'll discover and hone a talent and contribute work that changes the game. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 8, 15, 2 and 34.
