Thinking is harder than it looks and more expensive, too, as it requires rapid-fire decision-making about what to tune into and what to block out. Thinking uses calories and time, and the "off" time counts, too, because focus is only possible with much resting and refueling. Given all this, it makes sense to be choosy about what to think about, and to delegate thinking, too. The strong intellectual currents at this moment in Aquarius season will help with it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The power position is a position of service. Great leaders understand this; poor leaders don't. The best leader to appoint is the one who doesn't want to do the job because they know just how hard it will be. This week, you'll make excellent decisions in this regard — the kind of decisions that could save the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Doing the right thing is not always comfortable, but sometimes it is. So just because something feels good, easy and fun, don't let that throw you — it could also be the absolute best course of action. If there's something this week will prove over and over, it's that life doesn't have to be hard.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week, consider the path that appeals to your senses instead of to any particular time frame. The indirect route has value when it's more scenic, when it goes past the door of a loved one, when it has a feel the freeway can't give you, and when you're in it for the journey.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have access to the best information in the world. The skill to hone is discernment. For the most part, to seek advice from the outside would be a waste of your energy. You understand what you're dealing with much better than anyone else does. Conduct your own brainstorming session. Act on your own behalf.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Because you know how unfinished business can cause stress, you simply finish what needs to be done. This week, you have a stellar sense of the order that makes the most sense. Something you've been putting off will finally emerge in the ideal moment to make quick work of it, and then life gets instantaneously better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's more to you than people see. As interesting as your outside world is, the inside world is more abundant. You don't have to seek thrills to have a good time, though this week, they will certainly seek you. Glamorous environments are part of the fun. Your eye is tuned to beauty in many forms.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This week shows you executing at a high level, and yet, because you're going so fast, you may not get a good reading on the significance of your contribution or the impact of your work. Don't assume everyone knows what you do. Step back and observe the overall dynamic of the scene. Insights come fast on Saturday.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Compliments done from a place of sincerity and observation will land so beautifully, you may feel compelled to give compliments widely and freely. It not only makes you an attractive person to be around, it helps you tune into the moment. Being good at noticing what people are good at is a talent in and of itself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your active, inquisitive mind is always on the lookout for a playmate. While individuals who share your level of curiosity may be rare, an encounter with just one is all it takes to open the door to limitless opportunities. Engaging discussions, collaborative play and joint projects decorate your week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The adage instructs: measure twice, cut once. Use it this week only in cases where you're sure to be cutting. If there's no cut to be made, consider letting the measuring part go, too. It can take a lot of time and energy. It's a week to avoid making comparisons if you can. When something's working, go with it. Believe in what you intuitively built.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To really see someone, a certain quality of attention must be applied. You are willing to do what it takes to know another person, and you will gather insights as you observe not just what's happening on the surface, but clues to an inner world of emotion and complexity. They will feel witnessed and loved by the gift of your focus.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Destiny is like DNA. We want to decode it, but it will work the same whether we understand it or not. This week brings beautiful, fateful moments of opportunity, the sort you must be quick to seize. There will be very little time for figuring out "why," so it's better to just accept what's occurring and work within the mystery.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: This year will prove there really are no odd interests. Your attractions may seem whimsical, but there's a deep logic at work in your life, and it's bringing disparate elements together in magical, fateful ways. As something remarkable comes together in your personal life, you'll apply the healthy zest elsewhere. Also: You'll make progress professionally and repeat the success until you can teach others to do it, too. A hot property will fall into your hands. Your family will thrive because of your involvement, and you'll be celebrated for it.
