The moon moving into the sign of the bull has our hunger speaking in growls, and not just the appetite for food, but also for adventure and touch, for beauty, comfort, meaning, for the mysterious something that might sate life's constant craving which, as k.d. lang croons, "has always been." So what's on your menu?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The project you have on deck will bring out the best in you, requiring you to be organized, forward-thinking and resourceful. You'll have fun with it too, as long as you pace yourself well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll create change the easy way. You'll focus less on "stopping" and more on "replacing." Instead of wrestling an old pattern to the ground every hour, you move to a different environment and engage with different people and challenges.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Move forward with great enthusiasm and the bold assumption that your wishes will be granted. The reason for this? Because the sheer energy of your excitement could be enough to charge the situation in your favor. So why not?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're operating at a level that's taken years to get to and managing quite a workload. Remember there was a time you wouldn't have been able to do even a fraction of this. Give yourself credit for how far you've come.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An exchange will extend far beyond vocabulary. People reveal themselves through timing, pauses, tone, omissions, repetition and word choice. You get the hidden layers of expression. You'll key into motives, fears, desires and the emotional realities unfolding around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Emotional intelligence changes the atmosphere of a room. One thoughtful response can interrupt conflict, reduce defensiveness and make space for honesty. You consistently create a pleasant tone in interactions to mutual benefit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Things have not wrapped up neatly, and that's OK. Life's story is unfolding in a messy and nonlinear way. And though you may feel disorganized or unpredictable, it's a time to lean into that chaos because resisting will only deplete you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While every feeling is information, not every feeling deserves immediate action. To notice emotional reactions without becoming controlled by them takes skill. Today you'll pause to make room for discernment, restraint, compassion and good choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have wondered at times if true love is even real, and that is because love transcends comprehension. Today love is flattered by your quaint, and useless, analysis. Today love defies rational explanation. Today love continues to confound.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Different generations will find common ground in the more universal truths. You're also very open to learning about the nuances of style, topics of relevance and various worldviews that others are living inside. This makes it easier to relate to people of various ages.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don't always need more motivation. Sometimes you need fewer obstacles between yourself and action. That's why everything you put into preparing your workspace will matter today. Small improvements in organization create big gains in productivity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Things are often funny because they are true. Today, a well-timed observation will interrupt the tension. Laughter creates breathing room. In fact, laughter is, by definition, physical proof of that breathing room exists.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 11). It's your Year of Weight Bearing Victory when lifting builds physical muscles, problem-solving builds intelligence, and necessity builds creativity. You conjure fuel from pure imagination. You constantly and specifically envision the dream, and life serves it up. More highlights: Things that come to you indirectly include love, power and the funding for one of your wilder projects. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 1, 14, 33 and 21.
