Curiosity mutates into rebellion, and language itself cracks open to let the future in. This transit stirs innovation in communication, media, AI and transportation -- anything that moves thought or bodies. Expect glitches, brilliance, double meanings and strange bedfellows. The revolution won't be televised; it'll be translated, reworded, remixed and memed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even as the warrior, you're not always aggressive in your approach to the "fight." Today you'll notice subtle shifts in mood, tone and dynamics. You'll use what you learn to soften tension, include the excluded or ease someone's day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don't rush to fill every gap, close every loop or complete every sentence. Mystery thrives in pauses, and you deserve to experience a little awe. What doesn't happen today leaves space for something that couldn't exist otherwise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Real connections feel hypercharged. It's because you apply care to completing the circuit, showing up fully, no impedance, no resistance, open and receptive. You take a risk and ignite something interesting.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today brings awareness of your influence and a chance to use it. There's power in your performance, but it's not always about that. Today it's more a matter of aligning your actions with the person you most respect being.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you stay too detached, you miss the intimacy, nuance and vulnerability that only happens when you're in the mix. You can't connect deeply or express something tender from a distance; it won't land. Connection needs proximity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don't punish the version of you who said yes to life, who was warm and a little awkward as they reached out, hoping for connection. These are not mistakes; they are gestures of aliveness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wouldn't it be nice to have intimacy without surveillance? Because you long to be known, but you don't necessarily want your behavior and character to be dissected. You deserve the kind of listening that doesn't always come with commentary.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You've spent enough time analyzing a system; now you're ready to tweak it. Whether it's your schedule, workspace or inner monologue, every small shift makes a difference. You control the design and therefore the results you claim will be uniquely yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're more than your usefulness. You're a full person, and you need people around you who honor that. Your boundaries will be respected because you respect theirs, too. OK -- maybe not at first. But eventually, you'll teach them how to treat you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Finishing something frees you. But so does deciding with finality that you won't do it -- and allowing that decision to stand, without shame. Completion and release are equally valid forms of closure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll notice the outliers -- the ideas that don't conform but seem true, the people who look uncomfortable in the group but very much belong to its success... when you see what others don't, act on it with intention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Playing second fiddle is noble work -- and the music gets richer with third and fourth fiddles, too. Friendship is part adventure, part discovery, part art. You prepare for connection because it matters. People feel valued around you -- because they are.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 17). Even your most amazing feats only expend half the energy they once required -- why? You have help! You have love! You have a launch pad and a safety net! And you needn't pay a high price emotionally or otherwise, as you've already earned this. More highlights: Vibrant health, new routines and satisfying work that allows you to sock away money for renovations and travel. Leo and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 23, 14, 5 and 30.
