Two lunar squares and a lucky trine suggest that even though things get chaotic, this is the sort of chaos that will sort itself out, like the Brazil nut effect: shake the mix and the largest pieces rise, the middle settles in and the smallest grains slip down below. Just keep up your pace and movement through this day, and all organizes on its own.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Back to a project. This starts with your purpose and will eventually achieve quite a few other people's purposes by the time it's completed. This will continue to evolve. Every little bit of work counts. The ocean is made of drops.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Things that drain others become workable, even satisfying, for you because you've learned to see a challenge in a way that makes it engaging. This unlocks an advantage to you. You gain a kind of leverage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Fill up your senses with beauty. You're in your best mood after you've laid eyes on at least 20 lovely things. Aesthetics are like oxygen to you. You can move, think and live better when you've had plenty.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some say attitude is everything, and even if it's not, well, attitude is certainly something. You're willing to experiment with yours today, adjusting to find the tone that works best for the situation and the people involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The universe plants a little red flag on your path. You'll notice it, and you don't have to react right away. This is a heads-up, not a scolding. Just a little "keep an eye on it" note.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not all confidence is real. The one who acts superior or "too cool" could be covering insecurity. The aloof vibe, the edge, the quiet one-upmanship — all can be forms of armor. Your warmth pierces it eventually.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The work is different from what you thought it would be. It's true nature reveals itself little by little, pulling you deeper into your own heart. At some point, the time and effort will be irrelevant in this labor of love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). New situations have a way of making your mind race ahead trying to anticipate what could go wrong or right. Breathe and bring attention back to the moment. The more present you are to it, the more attractive you are to fortune's favor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The obvious path might work for others, but they aren't headed where you are. Your originality and fire are the things to protect. Don't do anything that feels forced. It would only flatten something essential in you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Many will share a moment, but no two experiences of it will be alike. Each person observes something different. Speak your memories, compare notes and discover what others found interesting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Trying to persuade people from their beliefs is a waste of time. Instead, you'll live in a way that reflects your values. Others take notice of what's working well for you. Some will want to do as you do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Endings sometimes come first; beginnings can happen last. You don't need to hang a title on it yet. Wait until you've seen it all. The right one will come to you when you understand the entire arc of the story.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 2). Welcome to a Year of Felicitous Encounters. Chance meetings favorably affect your destiny, and plot twists that don't directly involve you nonetheless shower you with good fortune. More highlights: Two different kinds of raises — one in status and title, and one you'll bank on. A rustic adventure. You'll uncover truths and secret histories and turn it into art. Scorpio and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 30, 2 and 9.
