It's one thing to make wishes and quite another to pull them from the dreamscape of wishing into reality. The sun and Uranus conjunct to help you identify and address the ties that keep you where you are. You don't have to untie them if you don't want to. Just to understand what tethers you and why you allow it will bring new energy to your life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Bodily responses, such as hunger, sleepiness and fear, are not commanders of our being, just suggestions from the physical realm. They can be heeded or overridden to suit other needs. When overridden they will lessen in intensity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What we resist persists. Let go and the opposing force might come forward, but it won't be able to grip you. You'll be like water, offering nothing to grab onto.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you seek to bypass the problem, you'll squander precious energy in the workaround. This one needs to be addressed instead. But don't worry: Mere confrontation will shrink it considerably.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). They will never say you weren't generous. In fact, you may feel compelled to give more than is necessary or even appropriate, though you won't regret this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will solve one of the great mysteries of life — like, "What are other people's motives?" or "What's he thinking?" Well, maybe you won't find the definitive answer, but you'll get a rather enlightening glimpse of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Accepting what you can't change is one way to go about it, though you might accidentally find that through acceptance a transformation happens anyway.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Should you spend, save or give what you have? Whichever choice you make will end in loss; it's just a matter of timing. So the answer really depends on personal style and current priorities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You haven't forgotten about the person who knocked themselves out to help you. However, you also haven't shown official appreciation, at least to your standards. You'll enjoy fulfilling this part of your to-do list.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Selfies don't always represent the prevailing narcissism of the age. Today's snaps will be about letting others know you're proud to be together and you want to share the memory in later days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may be worried about whether your plans have a solid foundation or not. Is there anything hidden you might be missing? Are your worries a form of resistance, or an intuition? Don't move until you feel better about this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In fairy tales, uninvited guests turn up at the party anyway, resentful at the slight and wielding spells of vengeance. In real life, it's just hurt feelings, but that's pretty bad, too. Include everyone and you won't have to worry about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Regardless of how cool, or solid or useful a thing may be, what's popular now could be out tomorrow. You've no control over the trends, but you know what feels right for you and you'll be happy you acted on that instinct.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 13). It is not imperative that you know what you're doing before you embark. If it were, no one would venture, create, explore or love. Trust yourself to figure it out as you go. You'll especially love where you go in May. June is for promises exchanged to be kept all year. July brings an investment opportunity. Taurus and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 44, 49 and 15.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: "I am a Gemini woman, born May 31, 1963. My life keeps randomly intersecting with an amazing Libra male, born Oct. 23, 1956, despite the fact we live in different countries. When we do happen to connect, there is effortless synergy and great things happen. Are these connections strictly random?"

First of all, your Libra man is actually a Scorpio! He was born on the cusp of Libra/Scorpio. (The sun changes signs around the 21st to 23rd of every month, a reminder for cusp folks to check the astrological calendar for the year they were born.) I can see your attraction for this glamorous Scorpio man who makes you feel like a million bucks when you're together! This relationship brings one exciting possibility after another. I'm so glad you mentioned synergy. When alchemists combine different elements together they blend to produce a totally new matter. The alchemy of love is kind of like that: Sometimes we don't know what we're capable of until we meet someone else whose energy combines with ours to attract unique, one-of-a-kind circumstances. The energy of any relationship attracts all kinds of new opportunities (or conflicts). The randomness of this affair is a thrill for you, Gemini. Have fun with it!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: It has been rumored that the third president of the United States and Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, had an astrologer. Though no conclusive evidence has surfaced, Jefferson did mention some astronomical discoveries of his day in correspondence, suggesting that he was interested in cosmic events. Jefferson was a bold Aries born under an expansive, forward-thinking Sagittarian moon.
