Mars, invigorated by its new Libran environs, trines Uranus and opposes Saturn, evoking the elegant rebellion of a French enfant terrible -- insouciant, provocative, eager to raise the perfectly manicured brows of the bourgeoisie. There's l'esprit frondeur in the air, a seduction of charm and confrontation, like a Rive Gauche radical with a cigarette and a manifesto.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The fastest way to lock something into your brain is to teach it. Share the idea, talk it out, sketch it on a napkin. It doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs to move through you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Be open to support. You'll be nudged to reconsider your automatic "I've got it" reflex. There's a smarter way to use energy; let good people show up. Give up a little independence in the spirit of shared labor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While reputation carries people in some instances, with children, animals or honest souls, what matters is presence. You love the realness of a moment, and the moment -- including all the people in it -- will love you back.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Momentum is everything. You'll notice what's slowing you down -- an obligation, a habit, a too-long explanation. Cut it. Trim the edge. Eliminate drag. Release resistance. Aim for sleek motion and sharp results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A person who loves you no matter what. Someone you show up for without condition. A relationship where energy flows both ways. These are the touchstones that give you pause while you take in the gift of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A roadblock appears, and others turn around. You, however, change shape. Flow, twist, reroute -- it's natural to you. While others wait for a fix, you move forward with grace, ease and quiet brilliance. That's your superpower today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Act from your own reasons, not for applause or approval. Asking, "What's in it for me?" isn't selfish; it's smart. When you're clear on your real reason, you're less likely to chase approval and more likely to act from purpose.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Nighttime habits shape your next day's vibe. How do you land the day -- wind down or spin out? Do you set intentions or collapse into the dark and hope for the best? Work on a stellar evening ritual to set you up for success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the present doesn't feel quite solid and the future isn't clear, you still feel powerful because you are. Even without full clarity or control, you still have a gift. You elevate what you touch. You transform "good enough" into "perfectly fitting for this moment."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The goal is within reach, but not if you let a dozen distractions split your focus. Choose one thing -- the real thing -- and make it your whole world for a while. You'll surprise yourself with what happens.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're curious, you're capable and you're discerning. You don't just absorb everything you come across. Lies, deceptions and fakes run amok. You research well and trust your filters. They won't let you down.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're not just showing up for yourself today; you're also a spotter of talent. You'll notice someone who's still developing but has real promise -- and you'll instinctively support them. Your encouragement helps others grow.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8) The year ahead is animated by courage. You'll initiate what others only talk about. You'll volunteer first, speak up when needed and back yourself fiercely. More highlights: A reunion. You've both grown in beautiful ways. You'll add to your legacy. You'll develop a signature move. Exquisite timing will magically move your financial and professional realm three times. Pisces and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 22, 17 and 35.
