Centauri are rumored to be ill-tempered ruffians — except for the one associated most with Sagittarius, called "Chiron," who was known for his gentle spirit and deemed a "wounded healer." What wounds do you carry that you might help another person heal? The Sagittarius lunar vibration will assist the efforts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The wind penetrates without the aid of a physical body. Unseen forces can and will be felt. In fact, they will be much more powerful than what seems to take up space.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Respect can't be demanded, it has to be commanded. Your confidence is best displayed in a gentle tone. Soft words have real impact if they are delivered with clarity and intention.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Classes, churches, teams, groups ... more will be accomplished inside of them than out these days. It will be worth it to show up to the gathering. Just go.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your feelings about a certain person will change as this one's role in your life changes. It's nothing to resist, just something to be aware of. Feel your way through it, and remember you're in this together.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are several situations that vie for your attention. Many of them are worthy of you, and yet there's only one you to go around, so you'll have to prioritize. Base your choice on what you want, not on who is talking at you the loudest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're still not sure what to think about a person, so this is no time to get deeper into a relationship, be it business or pleasure. Keep it cordial, ask more questions, investigate and observe.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Intelligence and success don't always go hand-in-hand. Smart people fail all of the time. So do strong, powerful and good people. When it comes to failure, it's best not to make too many judgements. Forgive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can't stand the feeling of someone being mad at you, which is why you tend to avoid that dynamic — in today's case, by being overly accommodating with someone who may or may not deserve it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Would you consider giving a speech or toast, or possibly entering into a challenging debate? Because public, communication-based actions will be exceptionally lucky for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). From plane tickets to birthday gifts through the mail, planning ahead will save you money. The more planning, the more money you'll save. Sit down with your calendar today and you're likely to save hundreds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even though you don't think it's right to choose favorites, you have yours. Go on and try to keep your partiality a secret, but the object of your favoritism will feel it and revel in it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Within this window of time you still have the right to change your mind. Fate hangs in the balance, awaiting the final verdict. This is not a power to play around with, and yet there's something you need to get right here...

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 17). Affection will be heaped on you this year! The next six weeks require your serious commitment. You'll have a meeting of the minds and come up with a truly inspired business plan in September. Follow through with everyone on your team and by November you'll all be putting extra money in the bank. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 30, 48, 1 and 28.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: These last days of the Cancer sun are as bittersweet as a grown child leaving home for the first time. On the one hand, there's a sense of pride and accomplishment because the mark of maturity is present. We've been brave, sorted through the emotions, moved ourselves to the point of change. Now it's one step out the door and everything will be different. We'll be free to make new choices, forge different alliances, launch a new side of ourselves. When we return to this place next year, we will not be the same; that much is certain. The rest of it is quite uncertain. Tears and fears are to be expected, not resisted, especially Tuesday, as the full Capricorn moon lands on the same day as Mercury's trine of Saturn. This wave of lunar energy will bring cleansing clarity. Let it out but keep moving forward. The full Capricorn will lend a touch of practical magic on the other side.

Wednesday and Thursday call for group work, philanthropy, social media outreach and the general gathering of alliances. What you can't do alone you can accomplish quickly with the help of even just one other person.

Friday brings the solar switch to Leo, and it's playtime!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: From "Crazy, Stupid Love" to "Family Guy" to "Dog with a Blog," one never does know where Cancer actress Beth Littleford will pop up next, only that she certainly will. Littleford was born when the sun, Mercury and Mars were all in the sign of the crab, indicating a naturally sensitive soul who, like most moonchildren, uses comedy as a way of dealing with the harsh realities of the world.
