It is said that overhead, there's a cosmic soup in which the imagination of the world swirls. We need only spoon the universe — taste and embrace, curl and collapse into it — to know the flavor of what is possible. This Scorpio season begins with a Neptune shift toward the land of dreams, offering the psychic fluidity and intuition needed to find soul comfort.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your capacity for curiosity is remarkable. You have the instinct to ask how and why things work as they do, and because of this orientation of mind, your questions will keep leading you to fresh discoveries no one else has noticed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Doing carries more weight than saying. You might not be able to fully articulate what you're experiencing, learning and feeling right now, but that's OK because what really speaks is the action you take. Action is the difference in the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Love makes space for you to be yourself. If you feel you have to shrink or act a certain way, it's not love; it's control or dependency. You'll know the kind of love that delights in who you are, not just in what you provide.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll appreciate circumstances that are not ideal. You don't ignore the fact that they are hard, but you see something beautiful in them — something that couldn't exist if things were any other way than exactly how they are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When plans come together, it's really exciting. You may feel eager to talk about the budding success, but things are still in the fragile, early stage. Don't share too soon — much is going to change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Efficiency is wonderful, but sometimes the long way around is richer. Let the conversation meander if it wants to. Hint: it wants to. The detours and other "inefficiencies" will bring information to light. Side trails have better scenery than the main road.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Balance isn't always about symmetry; sometimes it's about giving more weight to what really matters, or what doesn't seem to matter at all, because you never know. Think of it as a check to make sure the scales are calibrated correctly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Share your way of seeing. What's ordinary to you may be dazzling to someone else. Even your routines are filled with novelty others would thrill to know. You'll realize you've been living with treasures so familiar you've forgotten their worth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Control is overrated. Even when you think you have it, surprises still happen. Today you'll discover the relief in letting go. It's not about surrendering your power, but refusing to waste it in places it can't do much.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Authority will be shown in ways outside of rank or title. Sometimes the most influential voice in the room belongs to the one who listens the most carefully. Your steady attention changes dynamics, quietly shifting the direction of the group.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Memory is unreliable. It edits, changing the meaning. It exaggerates, inspiring unhelpful takes. It plum erases. But what remains is often what matters most: the feeling. Your body recalls things your mind doesn't. Trust sensation as much as story.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's wisdom in boredom. When nothing entertains you, your mind starts to wander. Out of the lull comes brilliant connections and ideas. So don't be afraid of gaps. They are incubation chambers for your next adventure.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22). Welcome to your Year of Secret Doors. What seems ordinary opens to a whole new world. A casual chat turns into an extremely fortuitous relationship, a short trip changes your life. More highlights: A clever pivot starts new streams of income. You'll be someone's most inspiring muse, then use what you learn to create masterpieces. You'll bond with a furry companion or marvel at creatures in the wild. Pisces and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 16, 25, 33 and 44.
