Some suggest roadblocks and closed doors are protecting you from places that were not meant for you. It depends on where you're trying to go and what you believe about the words "meant for you." Is someone else really in charge of that? Shouldn't you have a say in it? These are the questions to address as the sun opposes Saturn.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're seeking inspiration, and you'll find it both in those you want to be like and in those you don't want to be like. Stand where you can see and hear the people you find interesting.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's the perfect moment to do a mental scan of your current skillset to remind yourself of what you're good at and what you'd like to get good at. (If you don't know what you're good at, you'll miss the chance to sell it!)
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There's no reason to bargain with boredom. Instead, take this emotion as a flag that signals it is time to shake things up, put things back, write things down or all of the above.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyday life is rich. You sense this and appreciate it. Someone else will help you in this regard, enjoying the details and the particular way you attend to them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do the most important thing first. Once that's out of the way, you can relax. The relaxed you is more effective, because an easygoing mindset helps you resist getting caught up in the extraneous parts that ultimately won't matter.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Although it would be wonderful to find a perfect showcase for your work, the fact is that there probably isn't one yet. You'll have to make one, or one will be made to accommodate the work, once you do it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're attracted to a type of person who may or may not be good for you. This is a day of noticing — of observing yourself and how you change or don't around the people you spend your life with.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The relationship requirements are not rules, more like patterns. You set up the expectation early on and keep delivering in one way or another. Now you don't like what's being required of you, and today is about changing it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don't have to be lost to wonder how you're going to find your way to the next place. If you're not too proud to ask for directions, you'll get there faster. Sidle up to an expert and you'll learn more than you asked for.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Anger is not like a drug; it is a drug. It alters a person's chemistry more effectively than a lot of other substances. Keep this in mind while dealing with people who seem to lean on this emotion. Maybe it's not about you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). "No comment" is always an option. No one (other than your own brain) is commanding you to speak. By not weighing in with an opinion, you'll leave your options open.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don't expect people to be what they are not. Everyone is quirky. You realize this and act accordingly. People love you for that. You'll be the most nonjudgmental person on your block.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 15). Augmented powers of observation will help you to better sense what people want and grow in your capacity to deliver. It's good to be in demand, and when this has to do with business, you'll be paid handsomely. Lucky meetings happen in August and November. Money comes from out of the blue in July. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 22, 27 and 50.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: "What is an opposition?"
Today the sun and Saturn are in opposition, or 180 mathematical degrees apart from one another in an astrological chart. From an astronomical point of view, this makes it much easier to observe Saturn, as the sun illuminates it from directly across the sky. Astrologers believe that the opposition is among the most powerful astrological aspects after the conjunction. Think of two children on a seesaw at the park. They're as far apart from each other as they can possibly be, and yet they share a common center. Planets in opposition have contradictory agendas, yet there is still the possibility of finding balance in the middle. We on Earth may experience conflict and confusing push-pull feelings during oppositions. Opposites do attract, though sometimes one needs to call in a mediator to settle disputes! When the sun and Saturn become opponents, we on Earth can expect a battle of wills. Keep your cool during an argument by finding common ground and being flexible. After all, we may be on opposite sides of the seesaw from our fellow humans from time to time, but without each other as a balance, there is no ride; no one gets to rise or fall.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gemini Neil Patrick Harris plays Count Olaf in the Netflix series "A Series of Unfortunate Events." Harris, who found his career path as a teen with "Doogie Howser, M.D." has natal Mars, the planet of ambition, in Pisces, the sign of old souls. This placement suggests strong spiritual guidance as well. His moon and Neptune, both in Sagittarius, show a love of adventure, exploration and new worlds.
