The Libra moon offers another chance for getting it right in relationships. The sun and moon come into close alignment, and so will people trying to connect with one another. This isn’t just a moment of softness, a forgiving heart, a willingness to look the other way. It’s something even better. It’s, “Let’s pretend it never happened.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While you’d be uncomfortable if you had to boast of your success, you do realize that people need to know what you’re good at, otherwise they will try to utilize you in all the wrong ways.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Start something new and you’ll find that there’s plenty of fun to be had in the world of amateurs and novices. In fact, the phase where you know you’re not good at it but you love it anyway is most wonderful in so many ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s counterintuitive but sometimes niceties are a turn-off because they set unspoken standards. The nicer a thing (or person) is, the more work it is to keep up. You may opt for the low-fi, no-frills comfortable route because of this.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re comfortable with a certain amount of attention on the things you want observed. Too much attention, or attention on the wrong things, will have you changing how you show up, or whom you’re showing up to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In this introverted mood, the slightest social gestures can feel like a real chore. It’s a big effort just to get up to say hi, or send the email, or make the call. Do it anyway though. You’ll be happier for it

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Like most people, you have been known to fantasize about being the winner overall. And yet, you’re really out to better your last outcome, as being the winner over yourself is the most satisfying victory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The people who are blocked off from their creativity may hit you up for inspiration, perhaps not directly, though you can feel that you’re being watched and emulated — flattering, also it keeps you on your toes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you want to improve, make it a point to fail a few more times. If you want to be a champion, go harder. Double up on those failures (also known as your best teachers).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You shouldn’t have to set every expectation yourself. Work in a team. Send someone before you to smooth the way and get the others ready to trust you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re feeling free and a little rebellious. You inspire people to try and encourage them to make mistakes. Eventually, they’ll come up with something good. You will be a channel of creative energy for those who are blocked.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). How do you know if you’ve made a difference? It should not even be a matter of debate. Things are different because you’re here. Now, is this the difference you want to make? You’ll get clearer about that part today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve made too many appointments. It wasn’t supposed to be torturous. Reschedule to lift some of the stress off. People will be willing to work with you on timing.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 16). You’re finishing old things and onto the new with a truer kind of support. You’ll bring more of yourself to work and play because of the people who get you, have similar journeys and can appreciate the quirks and the genius that comes with your package. You’ll apply yourself and level up time and again. Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 35, 4, 33 and 34.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Make plans but then be willing to throw them out the window in favor of riding out the moment. TAURUS: Sometimes, love is just not turning away from the work of tolerating the less-than-ideal parts of being with another person. GEMINI: Even though you really want to determine how much the other person loves you, for now, it’s better just to focus on your side of it. CANCER: Love does not give another person a right to all of your intimate details. LEO: There are things you’ve simply outgrown though you may be hanging on a little longer because of the others involved. VIRGO: How a person fits into your voids and vice versa is a harder thing to figure out when you’re strong or weak in the same areas. LIBRA: Trying to impress someone teaches you about who you want to be. SCORPIO: You think you know how you want to be loved, but you might be surprised how you like it when it actually happens. SAGITTARIUS: Prioritize one side of a relationship to get clear about how to proceed. So, will it be friendship or passion? CAPRICORN: You’ll each get a sense of how the other sees the relationship and find that you’re not exactly on the same page in every regard with this, though you’re also not that far off. AQUARIUS: Switch off with the leadership position, if only to keep things interesting. PISCES: How people talk about the people they have loved in the past is how they will someday talk about the people they love now.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: But a small slice of the Libra sun will reflect off the Scorpio moon, yet these signs have an unobstructed view of one another. Their mirroring technique will be remarkable because the very nature of infatuation is a distorted estimation due to the projection of high hopes, ideal assumptions and unreasonable expectations. Nope. Not these two, not now. They will be, in fact, clear-eyed even as they go all-in.
