This lunar square to Neptune brings up a good point: A feeling can run through you, but it is not you. Identifying yourself as the feeling is as unempowering and absurd as identifying yourself as your lunch. “I am sad” is like saying “I am a turkey sandwich.” “There is sadness” or “I am processing sadness” would be more accurate.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll discover that a belief you held was wrong or incomplete — oh, sweet liberation! This levels the mental ground where you’ll be building something sturdier and more beautiful to dwell inside.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re divine, quite literally from heaven, assembled from the glitter of a distant exploded star. When you grant someone more warmth than they deserve today, it’s a nod to your heavenly origins.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You keep your heart open and continue to take risks in love. Why? You believe there’s something wondrous at stake — and that love, whatever form it takes, is its own reward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do you get the feeling that self-fulfilling prophecies are not the exception but the rule? It’s true today, for sure, so dwell on what you want, not on what you fear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). For you to be happy, no one else needs to change besides you. Your happiness will come with an internal adjustment, nothing too big, no giant leap, just a step into the sunshine.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The interaction of opposing forces in your mind creates friction, hot moods and frustrating mental traffic jams. Alignment changes everything. Thoughts flowing in the same direction create momentous forward movement.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The cause of stress is thinking, “This should be something other than what it is.” Stress relief is a matter of adjustment. Either you can control the circumstances better, or you can manage your expectations of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The work worth doing centers around your energy, perception and ability. Focus there, and so much else will naturally come together. Focusing elsewhere will be ineffective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you look around, you’ll notice how very few people seem to possess the thing you want. Don’t let the numbers scare you! They don’t attain the thing because they don’t seek the thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll realize that a certain line of reason no longer holds water. Put a line through it and replace it with something new. Don’t know what yet? Just try anything then and see how it feels.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The helpless, quite simply, aren’t. Don’t buy into lies that keep you working on someone else’s agenda. What about your plans? Get back to them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Heavy topics and serious matters just don’t have appeal to you now, though you’re quite excited by novelty and the lighter side of life. This mood is perfect for building rapport with others.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14). The amount of love flowing through your world will grow exponentially. The outcome of a project will earn glowing reviews. It will feel wonderful to know how proud your people are of you, and you’ll get to find that out three significant times over the next solar journey. Broken things get fixed in August. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 4, 44, 20 and 38.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: It’s the most memorable accounting of events — not the truest one — that will stand the test of time. TAURUS: Whatever happens to you in the name of love will catapult you into a future that is brighter and more fabulous than you could have ever imagined. GEMINI: This person is actually very powerful and needs to be shown how to do things autonomously. CANCER: You’ll expertly choose what to share with people and what to leave out. LEO: Someone finds your independence mightily attractive. VIRGO: You flirt judiciously because no one feels special with the person who flirts with everyone. LIBRA: You’re a good sport, and you’re well-matched with equally emotionally mature individuals. SCORPIO: When it comes to happy relationships, choosing the right subject for your affection is half the battle. SAGITTARIUS: Your turnoffs include being made to feel controlled or pressured. Offenders get two warnings. CAPRICORN: The best relationship to establish is neutral and friendly because you can take it any direction from there. AQUARIUS: Though modesty is a virtue, people who get a taste of your confidence will be duly impressed. Don’t be too humble to let people know about your connections and successes. PISCES: Everyone lacks something. People who can make up for the deficiency are most attractive.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: What Taurus and Cancer build together will have the qualities of remarkable beauty and sturdiness. This is true whether they are building a rapport, home, business, game or family. Their way of working together is a dance of eloquent communication. This earth and water combo has all the magic of primordial mud and much creativity will spring from their alliance.
