The stories get a different perspective under a directional shift of Uranus. For instance, what is the moral of "The Wizard of Oz"? You already had everything you needed. Go back. Be content. Love the familiar. The adventure was just a lesson. And Uranus responds: Absolutely not. There are many places "over the rainbow." For those planning to wake up somewhere new, the options are wide open, so don't settle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though naive, it's human nature to assume others want the same things we want when that's often not the case. Imagining the motivations, preferences and proclivities of those around you makes cooperation easier and misunderstandings less likely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The importance of an interesting private life will be highlighted today. It's essential to your vitality and creative expression. You can have it all: curiosity, inner theater, private jokes and so much to feed your imagination.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Remember when you felt so overwhelmed you wondered how to get through it? Now you're asking better questions: How else could my life be arranged? What needs to end and what needs to start?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not everyone has to get with your program for you to feel good about what you're doing. You readily accept that you're not in control of everything, and you enjoy seeing the various approaches people take when they feel free to explore.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be sorting out responsibilities, figuring out where they lie and deciding who will take on which job. If you accidentally take on more than you intended to, it will work to your benefit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will benefit you to aim higher than usual because what's usually good enough just won't do. So, dig a little deeper, give a little more and you'll quickly find yourself ahead of the game. Note which little things make a big difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's weird when people want you to want things you don't want. It's also easy to get tricked in this regard and think that you like and believe what's popular. Belonging is a basic human need, but you shouldn't have to sell yourself short to do it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll absorb more energy than usual from nearby influences. If you're not around the people, ideas, values and aesthetics you would like to have, leave. Go where there's inspiration and aspiration in abundance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A new relationship is forming. You don't need to get this right so much as get it honest. You can never fail in relationships because you either build a bond or you learn from what didn't work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some of your past actions are good to repeat, and others, not so much. That's life. Why waste time judging some other version of you? You're always doing the best you can with what you have.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your hands are on the wheel. You live your choices through work, creativity, restraint, tenderness, humor and truth-telling. You show up. You experiment. You recommit. It's more than a mindset. It's a practice, and a winning one at that.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Worry is the bad kind of stress -- the kind that wears on your immune system. Physical exercise, relaxation, a new plan -- all relieve the tension and put you on a healthier track. Whatever way you choose, you'll successfully move through this.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 3). It's your Year of Magical Inclusion. You extend a sense of belonging to all, and love fills your world in unforeseen ways. Because you stay openhearted and accommodating to that which is outside your preferences, you end up, in a roundabout way, getting exactly what you want. More highlights: Career acceleration, a new revenue stream and joyful productivity that makes work feel like a privilege. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 3, 10, 8 and 41.
