Today we celebrate the same solar phenomenon that was most feared by the ancients. In their defense, the solar eclipses tended to sneak up on them when they least expected, seeding uncertainty on the most primal level. Tracking eclipses was an early key to knowing our true place in the sky. One to 4 million people are predicted to travel to tomorrow's total solar eclipse in Aries, which would make "The Totality" the biggest travel event of the year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your charisma overfloweth. To handle the attention and status that comes with this, you'll need to be an expert at managing people's expectations. When you put your mind to it, this is very easy for you. Remembering to stay ahead of the game is the tricky part. Preparation is key. Imagine interactions before they happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This week, learning will be a pleasure, a relief and a quest. You don't even have to love the topic to love the feeling you get when you're understanding something new for the first time. When learning is uncomfortable, it's usually a sign to adjust the amount or level you're trying to process. Go back to the foundation and build from there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though one action might be easy, there won't be just one. Consider how you'll feel after 12. Don't start anything that will be difficult to scale. Group dynamics will be a part of this. Each person will be wanting the same level of attention from you as they see others getting, so do what you'll enjoy and be able to keep up with.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You show up, ready to give your caring attention. That is enough. There's much to be gained in a passive role. You will witness without trying to fix anything, observe without judgment, be a helpful presence without offering comment. This approach works for both your external and internal world. Nonjudgment frees energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Among the great pleasures of the modern world, having a wealth of information at your fingertips is a delight you'll never get enough of. Choosing your topics well and asking the questions that will bust them right open is your stellar talent. You get the feeling you can go as far as your curiosity will take you, and you're right!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Innovation often emerges as a response to challenges, which you'll prove this week. You'll get the chance to think critically, experiment wildly and advance incrementally. The trick is to commit sparingly. Success is won through your ability to focus yourself well. Devote yourself to one fascination at a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The playbook can't teach you how to do the hard stuff, like risking your heart, building a solid relationship or going for your dream. Those complex and personal accomplishments are only ever executed as one-of-a-kind, fresh and unique experiences. Dive in and do it the way only you can. There are no wrong actions. Go with your instinct.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are so many reasons to avoid giving advice this week. Nobody likes a know-it-all, and being overly eager to direct and inform others could imply you're trying to prove yourself, which the powerful don't feel they need to do. You'll hit a groove of feeling and being self-assured, in your zone and cool.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your X factor will work for you in little ways that will culminate in a big break. A "big break" is really just charming the right person at the right time. And since you charm everyone, sooner or later your powers are bound to align with your greater purpose. The person of influence will be just another one of many fans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You still have a long way to go. It will motivate you to remember why you chose this path, like the rush of accomplishment, admiration from peers, love, a sense of purpose... The prize may be far off, but you don't have to wait a minute for those feelings. You feel them right now. Just choose one and try it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Games of make-believe can help you enjoy yourself to the fullest. For instance, imagine the person before you is the best match in the entire world for you for what needs to happen in the moment you share. How would you celebrate the incredible luck? Delight in your life as though you had secret knowledge of its absolute perfection.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You make the work look fun, and indeed you are quite fulfilled this week, your passion ablaze with the fuel of recent inspiration. The more work you do, the more help you get. To graciously accept all the help that's offered may feel like a job in and of itself, but like most jobs, you'll get better at it with repetition.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You're no stranger to hard work, and you've taken clever and less laborious routes, too. This year brings something more surprising — plain ol' luck! Embrace the ease, prosperity and abundance that's running to you. It allows you to build a solid foundation for future endeavors as well as share the wealth. For the transformations you seek, invest in personal growth and empowerment. Love will inspire you, and key relationships will help to unlock your hidden potentials and emerge stronger, wiser and more resilient than before.
