The cosmic aspect with the most action this week is the phenomenon called a "conjunction," in which two celestial bodies appear very close together in the same sign or degree of the zodiac. The operative word is "appear." Question: If you believe you are close to a person or subject, or you feel close, does this mean you are close? Even the mere perception of closeness can create change.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No need to force things along or push in any way. The opportunity that's meant for you will unfold naturally without excessive effort. Trust the process will flow like water and the path will reveal itself with ease.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today highlights the value of your integrity, compassion and emotional intelligence. You'll commit to what you deeply believe in, and it pays you back in multiple ways, including emotionally and financially.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one ever stopped a tidal wave by holding up their hand like a traffic cop. The best way to handle a strong force isn't to fight it but to move with it strategically. You'll navigate a challenge by adapting, redirecting energy and using the momentum to your advantage.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're perceptive and quick to learn from others, picking up everything you need -- whether or not you've experienced it firsthand. This is partly because you lead with optimism, which keeps your perspective open and engaged.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While those who have been deprived may be forgiven for taking a lot, it's much more contemptible when those with privilege act out of greed, especially at the expense of others who have less. You'll stand up for fairness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Preparation is valuable, but waiting until you feel completely ready can sometimes be a form of procrastination or self-doubt. You already have enough skills, resources and instincts to start. Once in motion, you can adapt and improve. Just go!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You gladly help others in a personal setting. But when the stakes are different, so should be your strategy. In professional or competitive settings, knowledge is power. Be aware: Someone is withholding a resource, technique or insight to preserve their advantage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's an added layer of complexity when unexpected or unusual things come your way. Just because it appears in your life doesn't automatically mean it's meant for you. Use your intuition and reflection to discern what truly belongs to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fishing nets may not weigh much when you first fling them in the water, but once they start catching things, they get heavy. The same is true of safety nets. In time, they can become more of an anchor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Without productive activity, you feel restless and unfulfilled. You'd rather be occupied and adding to your resources. You love today's meaningful work, which provides structure, purpose and social connection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You previously agreed to a contract, arrangement or informal deal that may not have been ideal but seemed like the best option at the time. Now circumstances have shifted, and you have a chance to improve the terms.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Chasing love? Whatever your reasons, and however sound they may seem to you, it will still benefit you to drop them. Pull back and redirect your energy. The love that's coming to you, you won't have to chase.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 25). You shape fate with your own hands, sculpting this year into a work of art. There's no hesitation -- just bold steps that bring love, fortune and adventure in equal measure. More highlights: You'll master a skill that makes life richer; travel opens your eyes to a new way of being. You'll invest in and teach younger generations. Aries and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 14, 29, 33 and 2.
