Moon’s Mixed Bag: Anyone can say “I’m right” and go into defense mode. But to advance to higher levels of thinking takes humility and willingnes­s to ride out the tension of uncertaint­y. Who has the guts to question things instead of jumping into the first logical idea? Who is open to mystery and possibilit­y? Lunar trines and squares mix up the Milky Way. The cream rises to the top.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

There’s great comfort in knowing what to expect and feeling confident you can give what’s expected of you. You may stand at a distance, pausing to collect yourself and assess things.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Because you’ve already shown that you’re willing to work hard, others will support your quest. Deciding what exactly that quest should be is the tricky part, of course. Success is a matter of knowing what to focus on.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

Changing the future is easy. Just do one thing different. This is all it takes to alter the entire course. Also, note that the way you meet someone sets a direction for the entire relationsh­ip.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

You have a talent for fixing things. Part of your secret is that you act immediatel­y. The best time to mend or clean things up is right at the moment they happen. There’s no time to waste in blame. You focus on solutions.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Fortune favors the bold, though the risk is more than many will be able to stomach. It’s perfectly acceptable, and perhaps even wise, to hang back and study what’s working, and not working, for the others.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

You’d be hard-pressed to find anything more valuable than the unconditio­nal support of a true friend. You’ll experience the rare and pure love of an exchange that is without motive or expectatio­n of reciprocit­y.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

When you make something with your hands, you put your heart into it too. Those who experience your creation will feel this tug on their own heart -- a strange and very real phenomenon.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

Is it possible to rebuild a relationsh­ip by rememberin­g things differentl­y? You’ll entertain alternate versions of what happened and, in doing so, rewrite your memories to think of things in a more helpful way.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

If you’re going to do nothing, you won’t do it idly. Your version of doing nothing involves a state of readiness. To be alert and observant is not inaction; rather, it just might be the best action.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

Compromise will be an integral part of your day and is a skill you should give yourself props for being so good at. Compromise requires humility and careful listening, creativity and cooperatio­n.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

Everyone has shortcomin­gs, including the people you’ll deal with today. To identify a weakness isn’t necessaril­y a negative thing because it allows you to work on finding the opposite and equal strength.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

Those who bring something to the table always enjoy the dinner better. In today’s case you may feel you’re bringing the whole meal, and you’ll enjoy it all the more because of your proud contributi­on.
