Like tones coming together to form a powerful harmony, Mars, Saturn and Uranus get into a powerful configuration this week, favoring personal vision. It's a wake-up tone for those who feel stuck in their fate. Sure, some outcomes are likelier than others, but nothing is inevitable. We are not tethered to a preordained nature; we are networks of tendencies, and tendencies are not shackles. The hand of fate is your own.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your approach to a relationship changes, and as a result, a new relationship opens within the old one. You will answer a familiar question in an unfamiliar way and watch the conversation shift into undiscovered territory. A tendency redirected is a story rewritten — an arc bent toward a different ending, or no ending at all, just a continuous unfolding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While your real-life action is what makes things happen, when it's tethered to you with a fantasy, this is motivation. This week, you carry your dream like a balloon — light enough to hover above and connected to you with a secure tie so it doesn't fly off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your heart will grow fonder as you pay attention to another, learning them with new clarity this week. You'll get a sense of their inner, unexpressed life. It helps you understand why they do what they do, and you'll be able to predict their behavior better, too, which fosters trust.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're trying to change something about yourself this week. But before redirection, there's recognition. The moment before the hand lifts the stylus, before the foot steps out of the well-worn path — awareness. Seeing the pattern for what it is: a choice made so often it no longer feels like a choice. But it is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone will do something generous for you this week, no strings attached. If it catches you off guard, this kindness that may feel unfamiliar, the gesture may hang there, suspended, offering a space you didn't know you needed. You'll be tempted to fill it with doubt, to search for the catch, but the moment will insist on simplicity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Please don't be hard on yourself. You can feel so much in the moment that your sense of how to react and manage things can seem out of your control. Later you may regret details you missed in the rush of emotion. Navigating transitions can throw anyone off, especially in heightened states. Your tendency to reflect shows the depth of your heart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As authentic as you are, there's an inherently performative aspect to socializing. None are immune to the pull of expectation, and if they were, it would be a selfish and isolated place to exist. So embrace the play, pretense and all the vulnerability, excitement and imperfection that comes with it. You'll connect and thrive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You created your own definition of success, and there you'll live — not always but much more than if you hadn't claimed and curated it. Because you tend to set the bar high, disappointment is a familiar visitor, and so is excellence. This week, you'll have the sailing sensation that some relationships are exceeding your lofty expectations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unexpected influences get caught up in your process. This is the beauty of creative work: it invites serendipity. So, don't be surprised if the clear vision you started with starts to get soft around the edges with the new inspiration that sneaks in. Can you blame ideas for, like you, wanting to evolve?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll challenge your ideas of what is accessible and acceptable to have. The truth is, you really don't really know what is possible until you dare to go for it. So, don't bother asking around, especially to those who don't have what you want. Steel your courage and enact the steps you believe will be necessary. You'll be lucky.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Desire will come to you as a revelation, not just a longing but a force that reshapes perception. What once seemed fixed begins to shift, and obstacles become possibilities. This week, landscapes change, revealing the gateways to new paths forward. Reach out to someone who inspires you — they may hold the key to one of those doors.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your roles are demanding. You may wonder if the dance has become too rehearsed, too predictable. But this week brings the moments that remind you the act of showing up can be its own reward. You'll be seen in a surface way but also glimpsed for the truth of who you are beneath the surface — how fortifying.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Finally, relationships exceed your high expectations. When you see a kindred spirit, the kindred spirit sees you. That's how it works this year. Your projects bring fun, risk, fulfillment and the kind of pure emotional gold that make it worth it. They also pay you well in dollars. More highlights: Your talent finds the right audience. A quest pushes your skills, and you'll add more. A renovation improves domestic life and rhythms. Three keystone instances of you feeling more alive than you've ever been before.
