If each of the 4.6 billion years of Earth’s existence were represented as a second, it would take 145 years for the second hand to render that timeline, of which the totality of modern human existence would take up about five minutes. Today’s lunar omen imparts this: Problems that seem to take forever to work out will be but a blip in the story.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When it’s important, you act fast. Something you care about hangs in the balance. You’ll rush forward and handle the issue, right the wrong and get the odds stacked back in your favor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Because you’re sensitive and soulful, you’ll quickly figure out what kind of attention someone needs. Whether you are the right one to give it, now, that’s another story.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your tendency toward levity will be today’s superpower. You’ll make your point and make someone laugh at the same time. This is the beginning of a building attraction.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In following the laws of inertia, some amount of force is needed to start, stop or change the direction of an object, you included today. After that initial push to get in motion, in motion you will stay.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re willing to read the signs, people always give them to you. A million minute gestures will tell you what a person is about. You’ll quickly discern whom you should be working with from the ones who will waste your time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is not inherently serious, sweet, profound or funny… but if you look for any quality, you will find it. They are all out there waiting for you. Whatever tone you most want to see will be represented.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It happens more often than not that the remedy for the problem becomes the new problem. And yet, in today’s case, a new problem isn’t such a bad thing to have, as it keeps you sharp and vital.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Who you are is always in a state of flux but usually not quite as obvious and evidential as your current transition. Keep an open mind, as this is a fun house full of illusions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will devote yourself to a pursuit because it brings you a sense of rising above the ordinary world, and indeed, you were meant for such transcendence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ice melts. Water boils. Ash falls. Trees grow. Nature unfolds in soft and exciting ways all around you as well as inside the chambers of your heart, where a new landscape is being born.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If life is a test, sometimes you feel like you’re cramming for it the night before, hoping to be able to retain what you need just long enough to do well. This is a temporary stress. Muscle through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There will be fine examples and mentors to copy. Fix your attention on what you want to be, collecting nuances so you can model your behavior the way an actor would trying to play a part.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 13). The limits of your talent have yet to be determined, and you will not find them this year, though you’ll stretch and power through many an obstacle. You’re not doing it for the applause, though the applause will come anyway. You’ll get more organized, which allows you to place your efforts where they are most likely to be appreciated. Taurus and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 13, 37, 41 and 26.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I feel as though I am on the verge of beginning to live but wonder if I will be greeted with more delays. I am an Aries born March 31 about to graduate law school and take the bar. I have never been married and have wasted too many years on a Pisces born on March 6. I worry that my faith that all will work out with my career, love, marriage and children is an unrealistic expectation. After wishing on many a star, can you tell me if they have any good news to report about future career success? And, if you happen to see a Cinderella type ending in sight for marriage, I’ll treasure any good news!”

Oh, Aries! You’re forgetting a valuable step in your road to attaining your goals. That step is to CELEBRATE! You’re so busy worrying about what will happen next that you’re utterly missing the point. Stop being on the verge of life, and celebrate this enormous success. Invite the Pisces. Your relationship is not wasted time; it’s learning, just like your schooling. It’s your life. The best way to make sure it will be wonderful is to claim it as wonderful right now.

CELEBRITY PROFILES. He may play tough guys, but Harrison Ford’s natal chart shows a different character. With four major luminaries in sensitive, caring Cancer, Ford has tremendous heart and is extremely in tune to those around him. According to his chart, he would prefer staying in for a cozy meal to adventuring the wild jungles in search of mystical treasure. Mars in Leo indicates megawatt charisma.
