Don't sell your future for a quick fix today. Sure, today is no less important than tomorrow. But the long line of tomorrows that will be impacted by today's decision — well, that's where the momentary relief or thrill becomes not worth it. This message was brought to you by the lunar opposition to Saturn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Each moment seems to beg you to either be useful in it or use it up. So whether you're using or being useful, your time will be action-packed, and by the end of the day you'll have tangible evidence to show for it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Because you make the conscious decision to work with (instead of compete with) your colleagues, your way will be made easier. It's the difficult and diverse personalities that will bring you the greatest gifts of the day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Having a broken piece or two, things are referred to as "broken" even when they are mostly whole and new. Maybe it's the language itself that is broken, proclaiming the wrongness when most of it is actually all right.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone you meet today will stimulate an underused part of your brain. It certainly gives you fodder to process tonight when you retire to your future in the form of dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While there are those out there espousing the surprising and natural benefits of raw honey or kohlrabi, you have your own inborn health generator in the way of a smile that won't quit and an endless sense of curiosity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). One of your least-favorite characteristics is arrogance, though sometimes even you have to remind yourself that nothing makes one person better than another. The low stance is the high road.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The goal is to make something that represents you, something you can be proud of, something that is honest to how you are feeling and doing right now. This is brave work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The human body and psyche is constantly repairing itself. With a few minor bumps and bruises to your ego recently, you're now witness to the process of healing one small part of your persona.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Conflict is a necessary part of life. Without it you don't have a story. It's tension that makes the guitar strings ring out. It's stress that keeps us upright. The question is, can you embrace this without overdoing it?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The dog was born a dog, the bird was born a bird, and you were born with an inherent tendency toward loyal enthusiasm and also the need for freedom and flight. You can have both, but not at the same time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What goes for love, and what does love go for? These are the themes. What are you willing to pay for approval and affection? And more importantly, does using anything at all as currency negate the presence of real love?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you don't care whether someone likes you, it's easy to be you. Maybe that's why, more than not, the ones who don't care are so well-liked. Authenticity can be hard to come by, but you've got it in spades.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 1). If love is good, isn't extravagant love better? And as long as you're going to have a run of luck, why not have great degrees of it? With the mindset of "more" you'll make more happen. For the next six months it's appropriate. Then expect some temperance and tapering off in the new year — also appropriate and part of the cycle. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 26, 4 and 16.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Healthy relationship tip: Put your relationship story into words to help your mind organize and accept it. TAURUS: When you think about the people you enjoy being around... you, solo, ranks pretty high. GEMINI: No relationship is perfect. In the case of the current problem, just addressing yourself to it is enough to help. CANCER: Love is: recognizing that sometimes you just need a little break from one another. LEO: You know love is going to ebb and flow. Your grace when it flows will be key this weekend. VIRGO: The question isn't whether you have things in common; it's whether you have enough in common. LIBRA: Schedules and logistics will definitely contribute to how quickly a relationship catches on. SCORPIO: You're grateful for all your experiences in love, and yet the one that most shaped who you are today will be a great source of inspiration. SAGITTARIUS: Listen attentively to your friend's relationship complaints, but don't chime in! CAPRICORN: This back-and-forth you're doing is antagonizing (also, fun, affectionate, hot...) AQUARIUS: Even though you can have a fine time on your own, the company of others will give you a healthy perspective on what just happened in your love life. PISCES: You'll resuscitate what someone else claimed was beyond repair.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Gemini and Cancer don't speak each other's love language fluently, and yet there is enough overlap in their communication styles that they can get the heart message across (especially in the current arrangement of the sun in Cancer and the moon in Gemini). Cancer craves affirmations and support and Gemini can express such things beautifully. Cancer will reciprocate with the quality time Gemini appreciates most.
