On a week that starts with Venus entering the expansive realm of Sagittarius, ask not what love can do for you. Ask what you will do for love. Love saddles a centaur. Desire stretches its legs and takes to the open road, curious, daring and uncontained. This is not Venus posing in a shell while zephyrs blow her hair. The love goddess is wind-whipped by her own speed as she gallops toward new horizons, hope in her heart and mud on her riding boots.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sharing credit and work will be very fun this week. When the group wins, you win because you're an integral part of the group. Your personal victory is also a victory for the group. There will be some competitive vibes within the group, too, but as long as it stays civil it will only enhance dynamics.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Success is a mix of effort and circumstance. Luck, timing, help from others or favorable conditions have boosted you before, and they will again. But often it has been all on you to make things work. Your persistence, your creativity, your grit — these are what you have counted on, and today they come through once more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What a productive week! As you travel these days and to-do lists, just remember, the mood you live in is part of the result. How you feel as you move through the missions contributes to your health and relationships more than any completed task ever could. Get the vibes right and everything will be right.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week, you uplift people around you like it's your sole purpose — and maybe it is. People will feel physically lighter and spiritually brighter just from interacting with you. The best part is you really don't have to try hard. All you have to do is look for the advantages and benefits in a situation. It's a practice that keeps paying off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The difference between a feature and a flaw is just your take on it. What if you don't need to improve? What if this is just the current state of things, and later there will be different states? This week, feeling good is a matter of warming up your self-talk. It's easier to be inwardly gentle when you get good sleep.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Emotional connection is essential, but this week, you'll be reminded how love alone doesn't pay the bills. Since you can't eat it, drive it or wear it, you'll spend much of the week focused on the more tangible things that keep your life moving. Love is still braided through; it's the threads that hold this all together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Here's something that will be true for you both energetically and psychologically this week: You never can tell how energy will combine until everyone is in the same room. You can plan, visualize and theorize all you want, but the moment people actually interact, something unique happens — a living dynamic you can't model in your head. Throw the party or show up to it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The usual attention thieves (like algorithms, notifications, doomscrolling) don't stand a chance with you this week because you're so needed in the real world. Relatedly, you'll make an accidental impression on someone observing you in your power. You don't even have to try. Not trying is kind of your thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What's handed to you isn't the whole story this week. Poke at it. Look around a little. There will be wiggle room, loopholes, secret doors, and what may seem set in stone probably isn't. There's always another way, and you'll spot it the moment you decide to look.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've always had distinct eras; this one just happens to be longer and heavier because it's dealing with real-world weight such as illness, caregiving and endings that aren't tidy. It's OK if this chapter ends with loose threads. Most genuine stories do. This act will close on a happy ending.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Attraction is, essentially, just you recognizing qualities that exist, at least in potential, within you. Attraction will be your mirror this week. It will show you who you are becoming and who you already are. Maybe you've forgotten, and your attractions will remind you what already lives inside you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Time is not the enemy. This week, you will have time for work, play, love, laughter, exercise, drama and boredom. You have time to be creative but also to do nothing. You have time for anything and anyone you deem important. You have time because you make time.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Welcome to your Year of Curious Expansion. You're so interested in what's just outside your comfort zone, so you'll learn more, push the limit, learn even more and grow the territory. One day you'll notice that your circle of friends, knowledge and skills encompasses an entire landscape of loveliness. More highlights: You're given much sweet, heartwarming attention, and the space to be free and focused on what matters to you. You'll learn moneymaking, saving and growing tricks that allow you to get what you want.
