It's a steady energy at the top of the week, with the Taurus sun lingering in the slow, deliberate adagio of a concerto. But soon, the tempo shifts. On Tuesday, the sun moves into Gemini, and the cosmic score picks up — allegro, fast and lively. What was once a solo march becomes a sparkling duet of thoughts, questions and ideas. The air buzzes with curiosity. The rhythm of life accelerates. We're no longer holding the notes — we're dancing between them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People let you know what they want from you, not with words but with tones, vibes, actions and reactions. You'll be aware of subtle pressures on you this week. Resist what doesn't feel right. Of course, the most auspicious arrangements will fit your values and goals rather than some general societal standard.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Waiting is wisdom. You'll come to a crossroads this week, and none of the options will feel quite right. Not deciding is a great decision — it buys you time. The strategic stillness gives a signal to the universe that you're holding out for a more compelling path to show itself — and before long, it will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week gives you a glimpse into the incredibly collaborative season to come. You're not entirely sure about what you want out of a situation, but it's still worth speaking up. By sharing your inklings, ideas and even your playful or half-formed thoughts, you will open up a conversation and invite others to a shared creation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week brings moments that demand emotional presence and engagement. You're into a situation that isn't meant to be breezed through or observed from a distance, so drop the cool, nonchalant stance in favor of eagerness, interest, full awareness and heart. The experience is one of earnestness and meaning.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don't figure out who you are by just thinking about it — you discover yourself through what you do. It's in the doing — the work, the effort, even the chores — that your deeper identity and purpose reveal themselves. Basically, action is the mirror that reflects the truth of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Something feels off. Don't force it or talk yourself into it. Hold your standards. There's something better out there, and you need to keep your head clear to see it. The "traps" could be things like urgency, scarcity or self-doubt — and if you can rise above those, you'll notice more choices and freedoms than you thought you had.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Of course everyone has their own emotional world and, for the most part, can only live in the one that's theirs. So we share. We want to know what others are feeling and we want them to know our feelings. Timing, context and professionalism will be extremely relevant in this sharing. Be judicious in both giving and receiving emotional information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While the appreciation you're getting from the world may focus on surface allure, make no mistake — what attracts more than anything else is your depth of soul. It's not about being flashy or perfect; it's the way you show up with real presence, clarity and heart. That's what makes people want to stick around.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The drama around you is affecting you. Clock it, take the data, and be wiser and more independent for it — and, strangely, freer. Without these challenges, you wouldn't be strong like you are. This week, you'll apply that strength to a new project and you'll set off an irreversible chain of events. This is the start of an exciting new era.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Growth isn't a problem to fix — it's a path to walk. This week, you'll be luckiest when you keep moving through the parts that feel awkward or embarrassing. Know that you're OK in every step. You don't need to have everything figured out, finished or perfected to be valuable or lovable. There's beauty and meaning in each stage of becoming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are people who will try and make your moment about them, which is why it's so important to choose who you let in on special times. In turbulence or intensity, you're the eye of the storm, showing up steady with a presence that soothes the chaos. Your inner peace will have a transformative effect on both yourself and others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pisces is the sign that rules the feet. This week, you'll choose your company the same way you choose your shoes — for comfort and long wear. You'll find and cultivate relationships that go the distance, not the ones that just dazzle on the shelf. The best companions support your stride, soften the hard roads and stay with you through the miles.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: To realize the power in being exactly who you are is a kind of homecoming. At some points in this trip around the sun, it will feel like all of this was made for you, and sometimes it feels like all of this is you, not in a self-centered way but with a deep sense of belonging to the beautiful vastness. Decisions will come more easily, and ordinary moments will feel charged with meaning. More highlights: You'll gain access to resources previously out of reach. You'll quest a great distance. You'll fall in love — with someone, with life, with your own brilliant mind.
