When something is free, people often assume it's limitless or low-value, even if it's excellent. It applies to more than goods. Putting a price -- monetary or otherwise -- on your time, energy, attention and emotional labor attracts those who actually value what you offer. Boundaries are a form of pricing. And when you set them, you invite respect. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're investing time, energy and affection in a certain direction. Do you feel closer? Do you feel appreciated? Healthy relationships make you feel more grounded, not more doubtful. If sharing makes you feel unsure of yourself, that's a red flag.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just as you dress for the weather, choose your emotional layers wisely. Some days you'll feel invisible and still too exposed. Protect what's tender. Reveal what's ready. You don't owe anyone your warmth unless they've earned your shelter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Through your compassion you have gained the loyalty of those around you. And now you reap the benefits of what you have sown. You will have all the respectful assistance you need. You won't even have to ask.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Something fresh is coming, so stop rehashing the past. Take one useful insight, call it your souvenir, and put it in the proverbial scrapbook so your hands and heart are free to seize the new opportunity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life gets delightfully unpredictable because of the choices you make to go off-script, act against type, and make the low-probability or irrational decision just because you feel like it. It's a fun way to flex your personal power.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don't wait for outside praise. Give yourself credit. Celebrate all your work, especially the unglamorous parts. And do the same for others -- noticing steady contributions and big moments alike.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A stellar communicator, your words open doors and build bridges... except when they don't. But this is what keeps you excellent. You don't give up. You keep looking for your "in." People will be worth the work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). From the anteater's nose to the bell of a daffodil, the earth's inhabitants evolve to the features that help them get what they need to survive. The theme applies to today's tasks. The work shapes you to do it better.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Curiosity fuels your every move. You explore new subjects, learn skills at speed and surprise yourself with how much you grasp. A short trip expands your belief in what's possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fit is mutual. It's not about blame -- not "you're too much" or "they're not enough." It's about compatibility. If the match is wrong, it doesn't mean you're flawed. It just means you're mismatched. Leave the friction. Go where it's comfortable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In a noisy, distracted world, your boldness cuts through. Creative work needs this as does leadership, marketing or any space where you're competing for people's limited attention. Today you'll be a master of the psychology of attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's so much going in your favor today, mostly invisibly but nonetheless real and with great impact. Ideas take root; love blossoms where you water it; your memory keeps what matters; the rest you'll let go of with grace.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 21). Your charm knows no bounds, which is why this year brings effortless expansions of your personal life and professional life, extending to property, power, talent and networks. More highlights: Each month you are attracted to a new scene and circumstances conducive to your rise. As you lavish yourself in love and acceptance, you'll attract the best company, assistance and an entourage, too. Leo and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 4, 24, 9 and 31.
