As the corn moon swells to full in the feeling zone of Pisces, we are reminded that not every emotion requires a response. Often, it is enough just to feel something. Defensive moves use resources, sometimes needlessly. Put time between a trigger and your reaction to it so you can assess whether a reaction is worthwhile, or even warranted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever judgment you are having about another person, chances are you have the same one for yourself, though more acutely so. It's a good reason to find something to like about each person you meet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll bring something special to the task just by intending to give it your all. You don't have to go out of your way to be original — just do what comes naturally. Originality is your birthright.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). We experience millions upon millions of words, many of which, however right for the moment they may be, are soon forgotten. To be memorable, do more than talk. Paint pictures.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Put your mind to it, and there's nothing you can't turn around. A relationship that used to be on shaky ground now has a chance to become steady — if that's what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don't have to have it all together to help another person; you only have to be one step ahead. You'll give whatever resources you have and bring good fortune upon yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is no way to separate "best" from "worst" as they are just different ways of seeing the same aspect of a thing. So, delve into whatever is bothering you deeper. Find, acknowledge and leverage the advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Distraction is a very effective way to avoid pain, though the avoidance of pain usually resolves nothing. Follow breadcrumbs left by your latest distraction to some truly worthy self-knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are actions you can very easily choose or not choose. Then there are compulsions, which you feel powerless to control if you are even aware of them. You'll have luck taking those on today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Feelings don't need to have some profound meaning to have value. The face value of a feeling is simply that it is feedback data. Feelings reflect your current position and point to possible next moves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe there are things that you would have understood if you had devoted more time to them, but your impatience has also led to many sound, fast and timely decisions. Accept all. Move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If everyone says it's wonderful, it might be. Or, it might be dangerous, as things that take away critical thinking and the impulse for individual thought usually are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The more you learn, the surer you are about what you're learning. It's a sign — not that you're right but that you have possibly become biased and will learn most from people who disagree with you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 2). You are clear on what you want and also quite sponge-like, ready to soak in all you need to know to reach the next goal. In work, you'll take a methodical pace down a straightforward path, the predictability a refreshing change from the recent wild ride. Still, there are fun and revitalizing surprises in your personal life. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 14, 33 and 16.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My husband is an Aquarius, but his rising sign and Mars are in Cancer. I thought that this would make him much more protective and domestic than the usual Aquarian, but I am sorely disappointed. I was wondering if these tendencies are hidden in his chart because of his Mars position. Or should I just resign myself to his detachment? My date of birth is Aug. 22, 1961."

You are attracted to him because he can bring you out of your "shell" (Venus in Cancer) and highlight your bright adventurousness. Though you're a Leo, you are also ruled by a cool, calculating Capricorn moon and Mercury in no-nonsense Virgo. Do you ever get the sense that you frighten him? Do you suspect that he thinks, "Why bother trying to be the big-bad provider and protector when everyone here is so self-sufficient?" He appreciates deeply what you bring to the marriage, but can't always find the words to tell you. And he is afraid that if he did, you would know you have even more power over him and possibly leave. Get back in touch with the bold, quirky, future-thinking man you fell in love with by praising this side of him instead of expecting him to be good at everything that you're good at.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Virgo actress, director and producer Salma Hayek has said, "I aim for a lifetime full of movies," and she is in a particularly prolific cycle. So far, 2020 shows her starring in the comedy "Like a Boss" and the drama "The Roads Not Taken," with several more projects coming in the months to follow. Her sign is known for having a work ethic that is both stellar and vigorous.
