At the Starting Line of the Strawberry Moon
Between two planets in the early degrees of the sign of domesticity and tomorrow's full moon in Sagittarius, there's a sense of getting into position at a race's starting line. There may be stillness, but it's not settled. Our spirits are taut with anticipation like a rubber band stretched full of potential energy, ready for the pop of the full moon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a mental ledger. You remember who you've helped, who you still owe and who you want to show up for. Let others keep their own scores and standards. The ones who matter are self-monitoring just like you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can live in your truth without bringing anyone else into it. You respect the mental and emotional space others live in. It's part of the reason you won't waste time pointing out the wrongheadedness of others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your whole way of being is infused with creative energy today, not just in art or work but in how you live and how you put things together: a look, a lunch, a line of conversation. It all reflects your unique flair.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being around a certain person brings that extra surge of vitality to your world, and you'll find yourself prioritizing the relationship because of this. Let your heart be in charge and see what happens.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Self-reflection is called for. Correcting a mistake is how you become who you're trying to be. Though a bit uncomfortable, today's events create momentum. Whether the outcome is good, bad or a mix, pause to ask, "What was my part in this?"
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll notice how scarcity and longing cast an illusory glow. For instance, "the one that got away" is idealized, not because they were truly perfect but because they're gone and therefore no longer complicated by unflattering truths of reality.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The only thing separating you from what you want is consistent effort -- not shortcuts, not luck, not waiting, just practice. The path to mastery or achievement isn't mysterious. The gap is crossed by showing up, trying, refining and repeating.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Challenge the idea that everything you do has to be on purpose. The seemingly pointless game, joke or spontaneous detour will create the most value. Human connection is forged in lightness and somehow becomes substantial in memory and influence.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're inherently original, so you really don't have to try in that regard. Instead, lean on structure. You'll still be making it your own, just not at the expense of progress. Efficiency over ego. Bonus: It pays well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Be skeptical of advice that benefits the person giving it even if it sounds wise. For instance, the phrase "You have to spend money to make money" is a classic phrase often used by people who want you to "spend" money on them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don't whisper in a stadium. You have something important to communicate today. Dramatic choices will do the heavy lifting if you let them, so step boldly forward. Take a risk. Be memorable. The world will reward your daring.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it noble to be so sensitive? Maybe. Is it useful? Definitely -- at least in today's case. Your discernment is an asset because you're dealing with details, decisions and delicate dynamics.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 10). This trip around the sun, you finally feel like you're living the story you wrote for yourself -- the plot twists, the grit, the grace and even the punchlines. People count on you, and you count on yourself, too, because you prioritize and fulfill your own standards and preferences. More highlights: dreamy travel, a fascinating mentor and the reunion of a dream with its ideal circumstances. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 11, 40, 20 and 6.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Through the many recent tributes to Judy Garland, which include shows, festivals, a new book and a performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at the 2025 Oscars, the tender talent of this iconic Gemini rings true. Garland's ability to convey deep emotions through her performances touched the hearts of audiences everywhere. Born under a Gemini sun with natal Mercury and Venus in soulful Cancer, Garland's Neptune, the planet of dreams, sparkled from the realm of Leo.
