You are not to blame. You were only trying to solve a problem. You gave it your best shot with the knowledge, resources and ability you had at the time. Now you know what doesn't work. The bold Sagittarius moon forms lucky fire sign trines, first to Saturn, then to Venus, emboldening resilience, self-forgiveness and the willingness to try again.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In the same way a house can retain the emotional atmosphere of the people who lived there, environments absorb energy over time. You become more aware of which spaces nourish your spirit and which leave you feeling tired.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Yes, the good answers feel right and actionable. But you're also open to the wild-card solution that defies logic, yet inexplicably works. So switch off your reasonableness and let the intuition have a go at this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It would be pretty silly to define yourself only by a temporary setback, especially considering the positive contributions you've already made. You are generally moving toward deeper kindness and wisdom. Stay trained on that benevolent North Star.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll receive the best kind of compliment — one that identifies your essence. This isn't about stating the obvious on the surface of you; rather, someone speaks to the quality of your character and your way of being in the world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The return to known territory restores you. It's as though you're pulling up in a familiar driveway. The minute the tires touch this sacred pavement, your body relaxes. Yes, you are in a safe place — a place like home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pondering "who am I?" too much doesn't help a person to know themselves better. Because who you are isn't contained inside a thought process. It's proven in action. Do the verb and let the noun take care of itself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The chemistry between people can be a weather system. The mere presence of someone changes the mood. Today, someone seems exciting to get to know, and there's no reason to do that too quickly. Draw it out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remember when you felt pressured to make a choice, then later looked back to see many potential options you didn't initially notice? Don't accept the options others lay out for you as though they are the only ones.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today points you toward a counterintuitive idea: Sometimes a goal fails not because it's too ambitious, but because it's actually too small for the reality surrounding it. Don't respond to obstacles by shrinking the dream.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Travel expands you in a way that can't be duplicated through any other experience. The place that calls to you will give you just what you need. Once you dedicate yourself to the idea, the financial part will work out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). For you, connecting with people is not a "set it and forget it" situation. You continue to build rapport with every interaction. And when the interactions are scant, you initiate the next one. It's why you're popular.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One of the best ways to know another person is to walk beside them, listening openly and sharing whatever insights naturally arise. And if no words come, let your heart do the talking in its silent love language.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 27). It's your Fairytale Year in which you're the hero who must answer riddles, persist through tests and prove your true heart before entering a wondrous realm. More highlights: You'll be shown deep affection, and more than one person goes out of their way to make you happy. You'll make money among friends. You'll move steadily toward a lofty goal you'll reach years from now. Scorpio and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 17, 20, 4 and 50.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Carnegie Hall is celebrating Hellen Keller's angelic solar return by showing the documentary "Possibilities" sharing the legacy of Helen Keller as told through the stories of 21st century voices. The political activist and author who was rendered deaf and blind by a disease that struck her as a toddler forever changed the way the world would think of disability. This triumphant spirit was born when the sun and Venus were in Cancer and the moon was in Pisces, the sign of old souls.
