Love Gets Smarter: Love gets accused of having troublesom­e qualities, of being foolish, blind, furious, puppy-like, unreasonab­le, a battlefiel­d, an illusion and more. One thing love doesn’t often get accused of is being smart. The transit of Venus into the intellectu­al realm of Aquarius is unusual and refreshing. What lights up the heart also brightens the mind.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

It’s difficult to answer people when you’re not sure what to say. This is the main reason for stalls in communicat­ion -- not a lack of love, respect or results, just uncertaint­y about how to phrase it.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

To get to know someone is its own kind of journey, as each person is a country and each relationsh­ip a quest. You never know what’s going to happen in the process of discovery. What starts out as curiosity could turn into love.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

The difficult task you face is really only a series of easy steps. It’s a particular­ly long series, to be sure, but you’re a tenacious person. This is doable, if not inevitable. Keep going!

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

The world has changed since your greatgrand­mother was born, married and died in the same hometown. Your desire to see other places increases. Everything seems to nudge you toward purchasing tickets.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Your signmate Jerry Seinfeld suggested, “There’s no such thing as ‘fun for the whole family.’” Your own fun is definitely doable though, so focus on pleasing No. 1, and avoid the futility of trying to please all.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

Your clear intentions have power. You’ll decide what you want to feel and how you want people to feel around you, too. Don’t worry about how you’ll cultivate the emotion. Head toward your desired result and your feet find the path.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

Oddly, indifferen­ce can be very attractive. Your elusive nonchalanc­e inspires chase. The thing you don’t care about will seem to follow you from place to place, wanting your attention or approval.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

When something works, don’t celebrate it until you figure out how and why it works. Look for the pattern. Your future success will depend on putting an effective sequence of actions on repeat.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

A memory can hold you back if you let it, so don’t let it. There’s another way to look at this -- a more empowering way. To believe something different about the past will give you greater resources for the future.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

You don’t need to pay anyone to make you more beautiful. People are as attractive as their hearts, which is why you get so much attention today. You have loved well, often and deeply, and it shows in the face.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

It is with great contentmen­t that you enjoy what you have. Avoid worrying or scheming about how to keep it forever. No one keeps anything forever. The moment is sweeter when you embrace its impermanen­ce.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

Don’t be afraid to act in a way that is uncharacte­ristic of you. It’s impossible to build character without going beyond what “you” would do, and personalit­y is an everchangi­ng construct.
