Joy Is a Pebble

Holiday Mathis on

It's double lunar water-sign trines today, rippling out with lovely symmetry and rhythm. This calm happiness comes from simply being tuned to joy. It's the perfect song for the moment. It's overheard laughter. It's a small dog acting big or a big dog acting small. It's those tiny moments dropped like a pebble into a glassy lake that connect us like an ever-expanding circle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The destination mindset might work for a vacation or a game, but it doesn't work for the things that matter. Important things need a mindset of practice. Love, relationships, health -- it's built over again every day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The way you show up becomes what people remember about you. Your mood reads, your kindness makes an impression, and your attitude changes the plot. It matters today because someone chooses a path based on an interaction with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Knowledge, compliments and skin cream are all things that must be absorbed before they start to work for you. Today, you'll soak in your experiences, giving each moment a second to settle before you sprint ahead.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Something in your world feels off. That's your aesthetic intuition talking. It's the part of you that cares about harmony, beauty and intention. Adjust what needs adjusting. You're the artist here. Make your world match your vision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're facing a high-quality dilemma. It's the kind of problem that only shows up when life has improved -- all these quality options to choose from. Some might call it an embarrassment of riches. You'll sort it with gratitude in your heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The value you offer doesn't have to come only from you. Your network is a treasure you can share, too. Today, you'll connect people who need each other, helping expertise and opportunity flow in the right direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Be careful who you involve at this tender point in the creative process. When your idea is brand-new, it's fragile, and you don't want it to be changed by someone else's doubts or enthusiasm. It's too early for outside influence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Having to be right all the time is exhausting and very boring. It keeps one living defensively and, in the past, scrambling for evidence to support stances and claims instead of living and learning in the moment. You'll liberate yourself.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many things that can expand your sense of what's possible. Conversations, brilliant media, travel and even your own dreams. You're ready for an experience that broadens your mind, sharpens your perception and delights your spirit. Here it comes!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People who signal superiority are usually showing insecurity instead. Try to meet it with patience. They need extra care, not confrontation. What looks like a problem could actually be an opportunity to build a meaningful and unexpected bond.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Do enough people know what you do? Are they the ones who'll truly benefit from it? Today, you'll ask the right questions about your audience, make a few adjustments and see a real boost in what comes back to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Each person brings out a different side of you. Today, people will not do what you expect, and your reactions will surprise you. It's exciting to realize that each new person is a chance to know yourself more completely.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 17). Welcome to your Year of Beautiful Audacity. You'll take calculated leaps that pay off spectacularly. There's nothing loud in your performance, just an inner certainty that makes rooms go silent when you speak. More highlights: Financial opportunities appear from unexpected corners. You'll have front-row seats to something extraordinary. A mentor will see your potential before you do. Gemini and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 19, 20, 1 and 11.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Like a Sagittarius, Milla Jovovich reaches higher than the scene demands, whether as a model, musician, action queen or a wife, mother and philanthropist. Among her recent projects are the dark fantasy "In the Lost Lands" and the sci-fi thriller "World Breaker," both highlighting her gift for giving realism to fantasy worlds. Sagittarians are often characterized by their love for exploration and independence, traits evident in her eclectic career choices and personal interests.
