There are certain metrics that matter to you. Maybe it's the distance you move in a day; maybe it's an amount of money saved or a number of customers connected with. The sun and Uranus angle to suggest keeping track of statistics to prevent generalities from obscuring your success. The actual numbers will be eye-opening.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can prevent future discomfort by asking more questions about an upcoming social event. After all, if you don't know exactly what the occasion is, it's hard to dress for it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You recognize that look when you see it — like they've been tricked before and they're not about to be again. The thing is, you're not out to trick anyone. You're the real deal. You'll earn trust, in time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People you don't know have something valuable to offer, even if you never so much as talk to them: Social osmosis is real! Spending time in a public or shared space will lead to good fortune, so make it happen.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give second chances. You may be disappointed yet again, but you'll never regret making the more compassionate choice. In fact, you'll feel better regardless of how the other person responds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You give your love in such a big-hearted way that it's hard for you to imagine withholding attention or affection to gain a certain affect. However, such tough-love tactics may serve an important purpose now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's nothing hard about having happy relationships today. Your sunny attitude attracts people who casually give you exactly what you need, and if they want anything in return, it will be something that's easy for you to give.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You see things others don't, which is why the solution that is so clear to you is not being produced. Take the lead. Gently point out what's missing. Use the diplomacy and charm that is your birthright.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you operate inside a group of people who are already very tight with one another it could make you feel like an outsider. With subtle intention, you'll be able to penetrate defenses and get as "inside" as you want to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No matter how busy you get, if there's time to do a thing, there's time to do it right. Today's odd luck: The right way will also happen to be a rather quick fix.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Hitting the right tone will be important. If you're strictly rational, the others will think that you don't care. If you're too emotional, they'll be uncomfortable with how much you care. A moderate investment is what's needed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There's charm in the mundane! It takes a soulful, curious eye to see it. Go on and make a big deal out of small things. You'll love the conversations you get into.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As you focus on executing a job very well, other seemingly unrelated aspects of life will improve. Power dynamics are shifting. You're starting to get a sense of your influence, which is growing.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 10). You get scientific about your happiness, and this measured approach works wonders. Practical steps repeated will be the magical formula for changing your life in a very positive way. Your domestic scene gets upgrades in April. Close relationships take you on an adventure in July. October brings a windfall. Aquarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 16, 44 and 3.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am a 24-year-old Aries. I work for an investment bank, go to school and am pursuing an acting career. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed. I feel like quitting my job and bartending. Also, I have been on and off with this 24-year-old Sagittarius. He confuses me so much. I really like him and I've tried to move on, but it's like something keeps telling me to hold on. He tells me that he loves me and that he wants us to work, but he is afraid that things might not work out. We are so much alike. I would like to know if this relationship is worth my time and energy."

No, it's not. Also, don't quit your job and bartend. It won't be any easier than what you're doing now and is basically a lateral move that won't solve anything. The fastest way to becoming happy on a day-to-day basis is to get more sleep. As an Aries, you love to take on more than you can easily accomplish. You might opt to take fewer credits at school next quarter or even drop a class in favor of some ZZZs. If you can stop obsessing about this Sagittarius, that will free up more energy and leave a space for your own peace of mind to drop in — and someone new will come after that.
