The Capricorn moon won't take any nonsense. She wags and points her bony finger at any unruliness she suspects to be wasting her time. Likewise, you feel best now when you're on task, getting down to business. Take it easy on your loved ones. When you're critical, it's a sign that you need to get more engaged in doing your own thing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Is it possible to be your own worst enemy, toughest critic and best friend all at once? You're bound and determined to be all three. The challenge is managing those combustible personalities in just one body.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). On the other side of identity crisis is identity celebration. That's where you are now, in touch with your you-ness the way a cup of tea feels its tea-ness. When you're this full of your essence, you're unstoppable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A friend can be counted on to be late, to annoy you, to make a rude remark like they've been known to do. It's oddly reassuring. There's a reason this person is in your life. Try and focus there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). By letting go of old grudges, baggage, beliefs and resentments, you tap into the universe's grace account. It's a cosmic bank account that accumulates more grace every time you forgive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some days dreams glide on the wings of fairies, but today nothing happens without a little elbow grease. Put in the time. Do the grunt work. Keep thinking big. Tomorrow you're gliding again.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 3). Your friends fuel your dreams, and your dreams attract powerful people to you this year. It's a delicious feedback loop for success! Financial goals are accomplished over the next five weeks. Travel and romance are linked at July's end. A creative project blossoms in September. Aries and Sagittarius people fan the flames of your passions. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 26, 13, 47 and 5.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Anything or anyone that threatens you bears a gift. There's hidden energy there. The world and people in it are your personal mirrors, placed precisely at the right angles for you to better see yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Reactivity is a vicious cycle. You're learning that when you react to someone's defensiveness, you're 10 times likelier to keep a pointless argument going. And about your thin-skinned sensitivity — toughen up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're determined to accomplish your housekeeping errands at a record pace. Amazingly, you push the river and it works. For you, life isn't a marathon; it's a series of brief and memorable encounters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Is it humanly possible to fit so much excitement, wild optimism and in-love-with-life energy into a 72-hour period without collapsing in exhaustion? If anyone can do it, you can. Take your vitamins.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to tackle a problem? Give it your all. Whether you're cleaning the basement of your home or your psyche, you unearth a thorny issue by giving full-on attention to the places you rarely look.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whether you're testifying in church or merely making a comment in line at the grocery store, people look and listen. You're in the spotlight, and a VIP notices your sparkle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Try this: Name all the things you want (a new car, a shopping spree, a ticket to visit your niece) first thing this morning. Feel the full fury of your want. Now you're free to spend the rest of the day enjoying what you've got.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: If there were a week to go the extra mile and then some, it's this one. Jupiter is the power planet this week, goading us to reach wider and stretch higher toward our ambitions. As Jupiter forms a favorable relationship to Mars, we're moved to act on our visions. A spark of an idea gathers momentum and is soon a living, breathing thing with its own agenda. Talent is supported. Our realm of influence expands. We understand our domain. We get a glimpse of our own largesse in the world. A surge of emotional optimism colors our life. Woo-ha! We're willing to receive because it's clear that, in doing so, we're not taking from anyone. There's plenty to go around. So when you find yourself spending beyond your budget or making an incredibly generous offer, don't be alarmed. You were probably thinking too small originally, and this overblown idea of what you deserve or what you can give is probably much more in line with the way things actually are. And don't worry, you don't have to make good on all of your promises immediately. Projects and relationships are just beginning. Let them languish and stretch over the next three weeks.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gemini people are trendsetters. They define what's cool in their own way and dare the world to either "get it" or be left out. This is how they gather fans and followers. Case in point: the royal icon of individuality, the ever-changing and irrepressible artist formerly known as the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. With an upcoming massive summer concert tour, he'll break his own record for attendance.
