New moons mark beginnings -- a time to set intentions and start fresh cycles. This new moon in Gemini, the sign of communication, emphasizes connection and ideas in motion. Falling on Memorial Day in the United States, it deepens reflection: how we remember, what we pass on through story, and how we bridge generations through language and meaning.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are not defined by your current problems. You are not making your identity out of struggle. You're surviving an intense, heavy chapter with more grace than most people could even imagine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Anyone who is moving forward is going to move sideways and back, too, as the journey onward is a zigzag. When you plan for this, or at least plan to say, "This is OK, too," and keep going, even when you fail, you'll fail forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Saying "yes" is a spell of activation. In one breath, you align your will with creation itself. Where "abracadabra" calls for magic, "yes" becomes it -- sparking movement, inviting possibility and turning thought into tangible, living reality.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today's vibe is like a field trip at a theme park: Everyone in your crew is marked by the same shirt. You'll know in a glance who's with you and who's not, and move smarter because of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll contain multitudes, and perhaps there's neither time nor context for expressing so many selves. Even so, you'll certainly try to bring as full and varied a representation as you possibly can. There are so many ways to be you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's your job to have influence -- to help people make the choices that will best suit their needs and wants. You're more persuasive when you feel good, so do what it takes to lift your mood before you step out into the world.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're being pulled in many directions -- exciting ones, demanding ones, meaningful ones. The fix isn't to eliminate options but to commit moment by moment. It's not about choosing right. It's about choosing fully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're so focused on what matters to you that distractions and drama don't even register. When something feels pointless, you won't waste energy -- you'll tune it out entirely. What you ignore today will wither without your attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Let go of the need to make sense of every little thing. Your instincts whisper through mood, image and sensation. Pay attention to what makes you linger, what gives you pause. Intuition speaks in poetry, not proof.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In some things, like a race, the goal is to reach the end. But today, and arguably like most days, isn't a straight sprint to a finish line. You'll shift your mindset away from being goal-obsessed to find joy in the experience itself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're a powerhouse -- living, working, creating like it's your job (because it kind of is). You love the work, but even love needs air and rotation. Don't smother it! Step back, chill out, and let the magic come find you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If feelings obeyed instructions, life would be simple. But feelings live in the heart, not the language centers of the brain. They change on their own timeline, though a little gentle suggestion can still nudge them in a better direction.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 26). You'll flirt with fame this year -- or at least with being noticed by the right people at the right moment. More importantly, you'll stop waiting for approval and start delivering your magic, unapologetically. More highlights: A cherished wish gets a green light, someone you once looked up to becomes a peer, and you'll throw the kind of celebration people talk about for years. Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 23, 9, 30 and 15.
