The Leo lunar influence highlights how we absorb identity through stories. The books (and films, shows, songs) we love shape us -- not through effort, but by osmosis. We internalize the language, values and emotional textures of characters we admire and become, in part, what we consume.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will be meaningful to show up for a friend in hard times. You'll offer help without expecting anything in return. If you ever need help, you'll feel more comfortable asking for it -- not because you're owed, but because the connection is strong and mutual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're strong enough to hustle, wise enough to welcome ease. Hard work and struggle are legitimate ways to earn a victory, but they are not always necessary. It would be foolish to work when it's not called for. Save your might for when it's really needed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your focus, joy and confidence become almost like an aura, which fits you perfectly, like a custom outfit designed just for you. You're all lit up from the inside, doing what you love without self-consciousness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some things just don't mix. Oil and water, night and day, moving forward while standing still -- and some people are the same way. Not every energy can coexist. Today brings complex combinations and a whole collage of opportunities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don't need to push the action along. Just by being there, you make a difference. With your tone of gracious observation you shift the dynamic, gently but unmistakably, in favor of the greater good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Noise is anything that dilutes, distracts or confuses the message -- extra words, mixed signals, irrelevant information, emotional static. Today you will eliminate noise and your sharp message cuts through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A version of your dream will show up dressed in practical clothes -- and you'll recognize it. What begins with a humble yes leads to excitement, expansion and joy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're not trying to impress anyone; you just know what you're doing and treat people well. That alone gives you natural credibility. When others feel respected and understood, they tend to trust you. No flash needed, just real presence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Intuition is a kind of time travel. Your future self already knows what your current self hasn't quite grasped yet. It sounds far-fetched, and yet you could experience it anyway -- a sense of being nudged from a version of you that has already lived through what's ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're confident in your thought processes and feel no need to explain them just to prove you're smart. The people who matter already see it. Everyone else will figure it out later, or not -- and it's not your problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Romantic thrills or flashes of inspiration will light up your day -- and if love isn't the vibe, art, music or deep conversation might be. That sparkling energy lingers into nightfall, when the moon stirs something strange, lovely and luminous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's something important coming your way, but you have to stay in the game for it to reach you. Make hope and persistence your strategy. Keep showing up, and you'll catch the moment that changes everything.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 31). You'll love deeply, the sort that doesn't just stay contained in a relationship but stretches your capacity, opens you and makes you feel more intensely for everything: tenderness for strangers, awe for nature, gratitude for life. More highlights: A major project finishes strong, your style turns heads and you'll be entrusted with something sacred. Virgo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 30, 15, and 36.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Colin Farrell's portrayal of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, in the HBO Max series garnered critical acclaim and a solid impact in the DC Universe. As a Gemini, intellectual curiosity and adaptability are traits that contribute to Farrell's compelling performances, and he's even been known to play twins on the screen. His Mars in Leo indicates a passionate drive and a flair for dramatic expression, aligning with his commanding on-screen presence.
