Venus in Pisces goes deep with the soft, expansive connections, naturally encompassing all forms of love: romantic, platonic, self-love, family and even love for the world or creative projects. This dreamy day is ideal for heartfelt gestures, poetry and soulful conversation. Out: performative displays. In: Being fully there with every sincere cell of you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). How can you obey your heart's commands if the noise of your mind makes it impossible to hear? Focusing on your breath pulls attention away from racing thoughts and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which signals your body to relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you could, you'd say yes to everyone who needs your help or wants your company. But since you can't do it all, you'll do the next best thing -- decline invitations with such grace it warms hearts and keeps bonds intact.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When your aesthetic is reflected in your environment, you feel loved. And this is why you'll gravitate toward clean, clear, organized, novel and coordinated surroundings. The work you do will move through your hands and settle back into you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll raise your energy by playing to your strengths and avoiding the obvious drains. Conserving and boosting your energy is a form of self-kindness that creates a foundation of comfort and safety you can grow from.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Good news on the financial front: You're rich in all the ways that matter and a few bonus ways, too. And since there's still no reason to buy what you can't afford to impress those you don't know, you can save a little, too!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you have fun, others catch on to your joy. So don't worry about being seen. It's good for everyone if you are. As one doctor suggested, "Look at me, look at me, look at me now. It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how." -- Dr. Seuss

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Most events are a good time to somebody. But if they are not your idea of a good time, there's no need to attend. Go with what puts a smile on your own face or at least with what doesn't make you frown.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today's plot unfolds to prove once more that compassion is always best. The self-centered behavior of others will make it challenging, so go slow and be patient, and with a little restraint, love wins.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Too much analysis breeds paralysis; action is the way. The movement itself is what will make sense of things. The movement itself is what will change the odds, validate the mission and prove the purpose worthy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Compassion pulls you toward people and you begin to care about their reality, their struggles and their hopes. Before you know it, concern turns into commitment. Compassion ignites passion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll get attention, though you may be too busy to notice. It's OK because you don't feed on external validation. You're full already. You come to the party of life, after having already eaten at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Before you buy, ask yourself questions like "really?" and "why?" Confront deeper motivations and life gets less expensive. You'll serve your actual need instead of getting the quick, cheap, shiny Band-Aid. Honest reflection leads to pure fulfillment.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14). Welcome to your Year of the Wild Horses, when you'll have the unbridled power, untamed heart and exuberant kinship to roam with fellow feral spirits. More highlights: Fun, infatuation, thrills, illusion and the more substantial fortifications of sincere and devoted love. You'll delight in the company of those whose style and processes are a mystery to you including animals who teach you about being human. Scorpio and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 50, 33, 13 and 6.
