Welcome, stargazers, to your daily horoscope! Click ahead to see what the stars have in store for you today.
Gemini
May 21 to June 20
Mission Impossible? Hardly so. Today’s moon-Mars trine gives you the fuel to tackle an ambitious project. While there’s definitely grunt work involved, who’s to say that you alone have to be the one to do it? Outsource where you can or gather a team to help you. There are people who could benefit from the experience of doing a task that’s totally “lather, rinse, repeat” for you at this point. Conversely, you could offer yourself up as an apprentice or volunteer as a means of breaking the ice with an elite group or positioning yourself for a professional leap. It's all about who you know!

Cancer
June 21 to July 22
You love them; you love them not. Today could bring a powerful moment of truth about a romantic situation. You may be flooded with feelings you didn’t realize you had, from intense affection to deep dissatisfaction — and THAT could lead to an important conversation about the future. If you’ve made too many sacrifices, save the conversation and just go reboot. Indulge in some pampering, work on an independent project or treat yourself to a decadent treasure. Once you’ve refilled your own happiness tanks, you'll have a clearer perspective on what you should and shouldn't say.

Leo
July 23 to August 22
You may be surprised by the intensity of your own emotions today, Leo, experiencing pangs of sadness, roiling anger or waves of joy, seemingly out of the blue. It would be easy to stuff these feelings down with food or busy yourself with work to avoid dealing with the sensations bubbling up — but don’t. Instead, move them out of your body with exercise. Sure, you might burst into tears on your yoga mat or do a primal scream while running through the woods), but that's certainly better than starting a fight with your boss or best friend, or getting stuck in an obsessive thought loop. Just move, Leo, and the right way to handle these feelings will emerge.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
Today’s moon-Mars angle brings electric energy to your closest partnerships. It’s a “say anything” day where you can blurt out your authentic feelings and have a productive conversation about the emotional energy you're feeling. Bring new ideas to the table too. You might have to nudge people a little or offer a deeper explanation before they can embrace a bold vision you’ve come up with. With feisty Mars in the mix, it’s fine to apply a little pressure — just not too much.

Libra
September 23 to October 22
Roll up your sleeves, Libra. Today, you can’t float by on airy-fairy notions alone. Bring some perspiration along with the inspiration and create tangible results. Go-getter Mars lends motivation and oomph, so you should have plenty of energy for this productivity burst. Finishing a project — or hewing a large dent in it — will be so satisfying. Also: Before you post any "shocking research" on social media, make sure your data is factual. This may require some deep Googling, Libra, or a few calls to the experts you know.

Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
No holding back today, Scorpio. With Mars in cahoots with the moon, you’ll trade your mysterious aura for unapologetic swag. You’re quite the influencer, so direct some of that energy towards a powerful purpose. Whether you’re illuminating your own talents or beaming the spotlight towards an important cause it won't be hard to drum up support. Style-wise, make a departure from anything too understated and low-key. While you might never be a full-on maximalist, try adding a pop color to your sea of signature black.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Off to the lab you go! Today, you could make massive strides on a creative project if you pull yourself away from the pack and develop your plans in private. Negotiate a work-from-home day or pop on the noise-cancelling headphones. Otherwise, be prepared to play office therapist. With your empathetic nature turned up to the max, you'll be a lightning rod for the troubled souls and wounded birds of the world. There’s nothing wrong with your desire to help them as long as you’ve accomplished the goals you set for today. If you let yourself get too distracted, you could wind up stressed out and resentful.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
Feeling bored? Dip into the well of inspiration before trying to produce anything else. You'll find the spark in other people — especially the thought leaders and iconoclasts who aren't afraid to color outside the lines. With fearless Mars in your communication house, you’ll have no trouble introducing yourself to new people today, especially if you see a fit with your existing social circle or have a project in mind that they'd be perfect for. Easy does it though, Capricorn. In your zeal, you could apply too much pressure to these nascent friendships. Let the connection develop organically.

Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
Stop, simplify, and systematize. Although you’re motivated about one of your outsized missions, this goal may have grown a bit too complex for its own good. Where can you scale back a bit, Aquarius — in the name of actually getting the job done? Break it down into phases so you don’t have to wait forever to celebrate results. Marking each milestone buoys you along further. What could you create in the next 24 hours that would feel like a small triumph? Maybe it's introducing yourself to someone you've been intimidated by in the past or outsourcing a task that you utterly despise.

Pisces
February 19 to March 20
Today, seek experiences that fall outside of what’s always been “normal” for you. Chat up people from different lifestyles and cultures. Seek wisdom from non-traditional sources. Remember too, that everyone is your teacher — even (or perhaps especially) the person you literally can’t stand. Take a philosophical look at your nemesis. What bugs you about them may be a quality you struggle to embrace within yourself. If you can be more accepting of your own humanity, this person won’t hold such a strong charge.

Aries
March 21 to April 19
Be the change you wish to see in your world today, Aries. Instead of complaining, critiquing, or making a huge fuss, quietly apply a new approach. Subtlety is indeed an art form and without saying a word, people will notice the powerful example you set. If you see someone struggling to make a change, step in with words of encouragement and empowering advice. You’ll get great satisfaction from being playing best supporting castmate instead of your usual role as the outspoken lead.

Taurus
April 20 to May 20
Don’t let yourself get shuffled into the friend zone, Taurus. There’s a point where too much giving can actually turn people off. Today, feisty Mars in your relationship house is in cahoots with the moon pumping up your swagger. Be the passionate firestarter instead of the sacrificial martyr or silent supporter. Confidence makes you more desirable so surround yourself with people who see your gifts and can help you shine bright like a diamond.
