This dramatic Leo moon features impactful wonders. Maybe that awestruck feeling won't come right away. It may take years before it creeps up on you — that moment of profound understanding that you've seen something truly magnificent. Regardless of how long the realization takes to find you, the inspiration will hit this evening.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to go on adventures, but you also realize that each adventure has its cost. There's a dollar amount and an energetic amount to be settled. Today's adventure will be worth the price of admission.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The depth of a loss is measured by how long it takes you to get over it. This is a highly personal equation. What one person shrugs off another carries around for years. You can expect everyone's healing pace to be different.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sound of mind, sound of body — what more could you ask for? Sure, you can think of a few other things you might like to request. But is that the right thing to do? Give, give, and give more. The sun is in your sector, and generosity is your nature.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To flatter isn't always to put yourself in a lower position. After all, it takes one to know one. And a little more on the subject: Doing the opposite is also a form of imitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The tone of a thing will be much more important than what the thing does or is. The representation is what will matter. This isn't right; it's just what's happening.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you see something that's inconsistent with your belief system, by your definition it's absurd. Yet you might find yourself doing that very thing — which is equally absurd. And there's really nothing wrong with either.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Progress is a hard thing to nail down, because who knows which nuisance is better than the last? You'll figure it out. Some praise will come to you on the matter, not that it will mean much, since you've an agenda beyond all that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You do not strive to be generous in order to satisfy a social quota. You give what you feel like giving. That's honest. The special charisma that swirls around you today has a lot to do with that honesty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Neglect is an underused concept. Use it now. Problems fade from neglect. Ignore them and they go away. Maybe they were never problems to begin with, merely situations, or even non-issues. Buh-bye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There's something a little weird afoot. You think, "I don't have time for this!" But then "this" is all you're doing. Well, that means "this" is important to your development as a person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Transitions are precarious parts of life, represented in big happenings and also in the day to day. Be tender to those in the middle stages, as they are particularly vulnerable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The call of duty — some dread it. But to you, this is an entry point. You like to go beyond the call of duty, in fact. Going beyond the call is your aim in many regards these days.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 30). The walls come crumbling down in this solar return. You want to connect with people, and you want to live without limits. These things will happen! Don't let anyone (including you) define you in a way that constricts your identity. Professional goals will be met in September. November brings more financial winnings. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 22, 29 and 18.

YOUR MOON SIGN (Part 2): Do you know what your moon sign is? It's easy to find out by looking in an astrology book or by going to a computer and typing "moon sign" into a search engine. If it turns out that you're a TAURUS MOON, you are highly susceptible to the look, feel, taste, smell and sound of things. Taurus moon people get emotional over fine chocolate and have a definite preference in bedding materials; a high thread count is not lost on them! Some Taurus moon people are so discerning in their tastes that less-than-fresh foods give them a tummy ache and less-than-gold jewelry gives them a rash. If you consider the degree to which inferior products will upset them, you can't blame them if they're willing to pay more for things than seems reasonable. That's not to say Taurus moon people are hard to please. Simple, natural goodness can set them into a state of ecstasy. If your MOON is in GEMINI, the social aspects of life bring you great joy. You love to connect and communicate with others, and your soul is satisfied by sharing and learning. Gemini moon people are fresh, alert, hip and popular. It's the ideal moon for anyone who wants to do well in sales.
