What's chirping outside your window? Today's Gemini new moon re-animates the ordinary, everyday world with intelligent new discoveries. Synchronicities, flights of fancy, or flights to destinations unknown -- we needn't travel far. Just a few feet to the left or right discovers the Gemini new moon has something curious for anyone who's looking.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Feeling emotionally raw? Like a helpless newborn, you are most powerful in your fragility because you are the closest to divine presences in that state. Trust that you are being taken care of by unseen forces.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Cut the rule-breakers around you a little slack, especially if the rules they are breaking are outdated, spiritually or creatively limiting, or just plain stupid. (You may be such a rule-breaker yourself!)

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).  Don't you hate when "they" are right? All those "they" people are definitely on to something for the moment, so don't be afraid to follow the popular advice -- it's actually personally enriching to do so.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Dare to enter a circle of people and be the newcomer, especially if you feel you have something important to say. Currently, people will listen to someone new more readily than they will to those they already know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Review all you've learned last month about asking questions, listening well and making as few assumptions as possible. You'll apply the lessons and get outstanding results.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (JUNE 3). Dreaming just isn't enough for you this year. You intend to fly, and you will. A tantalizing relationship continues to keep you happily surprised through the summer. Work changes help you jump to another pay level, but you must remain positive even when you're unsure if things are going to go your way. Libra and Virgo connections are stellar. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 40, 21, 18 and 2.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Avoid getting caught up in philosophical tangents. If you place even a toe in that current, you could be swept away for the whole day, wondering instead of doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're inclined to charge too little for your services or do too much for free in order to secure your position. Get a savvy someone to negotiate for you. Reserve your charity for those who really are in need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're pretty slick. You have a way of reducing the emotional resistance of others and getting them to do exactly what you need. This is mostly accomplished through a passive, empathetic tone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have nothing substantial to base your optimism on, and that's what makes it so remarkable. When you feel good about something -- even something totally unreasonable -- act on it. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).  You are motivated by your compassion to make a commitment. You will be held to this one. Perhaps you're not sure how you'll be able to deliver, but trust that you will be able to, and somehow it happens.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is one of those times when making no decision is best. You're currently only looking at half of the information you need in order to do right in this case. Ask and wait to learn more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you want will quickly become yours. This is not always a good thing. What's attractive at a distance can have a whole different look when it's brought in close. So choose carefully now.

ASTROLOGICAL TOPICS: Travel's gone cutting edge, it seems everywhere you look, there's a new way to travel. GEMINI: You need lift-off like a bird needs wings. And your landlocked challenge is obtaining a) creative financing to get there or b) a ticket to your destination. Cutting-edge Gemini travel concept: errand-running travel. Seriously, what better way to see the world than to become the carrier pigeon? Deliver a red envelope with money, a "lai see," to Hong Kong; pick up chutney for Indian friends ... in India. What to wear: wings. What to bring: bike, GPS. Who to bring: Leo, Aquarius. CANCER: You can get worked up by the unknowns of travel. But you're really an adventurer disguised as a crab, and often you're the last one to realize just how much fun it is you're having! Cutting-edge Cancer travel concept: the family vacation. It swings in and out of favor, like the Chevy Chase movie "Vacation," but as your slide show of your last trip to Yosemite attests, it's that memorable and hilarious. What to wear: sunscreen. What to bring: a camera. These are keepsakes. Who to bring: the family.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Geminis often rebound from circumstances that make the rest of us want to crawl into a cave. It's not that they're untouched by tragedy, nor insensitive to uncertainty. They're just peculiarly, freakishly adaptable. For Anderson Cooper, it was this Gemini question: "Why do some people thrive in situations that others can’t tolerate?" that sparked his curiosity and his career as a journalist.
