Between the Jupiter tension and the solar aspect to Mars in dramatic Leo, feelings have a way of overflowing and spilling all over the place. In the case of joy, appreciation, love and comfort, the mess is such a pleasure it's hardly worth cleaning up. Under a peaceful Libra moon, let the feeling of belonging wrap around you like a warm blanket on a snowy night.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Remember, it's human instinct to cultivate appearances to some degree. You have a feeling that some people are smiling because of their internal weather, and others are smiling despite it. Your warmth has a softening effect on all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Good questions will crack open a new world. It doesn't take many; it just takes the right ones. Your superpower is being able to sense what people want to share and backing off of what they don't. Respect is your compass.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Action creates energy. But if you think without making a move, those thoughts will use energy, and until you act, you'll be at a deficit. So, let motion lead the way. Even the smallest step can set off a powerful chain reaction.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life brings a mystery. For this one, don't waste time imagining what's behind Door No. 3; just open it. You could imagine for hours and never get it right. Open the door and you'll know everything in a few seconds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Knowing how pleasantly relaxing it is to spend your time in one place instead of rushing around to different engagements, you'll commit yourself sparingly and only to what you're reasonably sure you'll enjoy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's a reason the words "quiet" and "confidence" go together. There's also a reason insecurity is noisy. It begs to be tended to and will do anything to capture the focus. The more centered you feel, the less you'll have to say or do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's clear that someone is special to you and no one else can quite fill this person's shoes. Celebrate what makes this bond uniquely yours. As you lean into this safe place, you'll find comfort, joy and inspiration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don't always have to fill a role in another person's life. Sometimes you can write your own, carve a niche, make it up as you go along. As you acknowledge and accept more of yourself, there will be more touchpoints for connection and sharing with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will spend equal time looking outward to build connections with the world around you and reflecting to turn to what you know and deepen your inner experience. You'll walk the line, balancing both internal and external growth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Imagine being able to feel through another's heart and truly grasp the depth of their emotion for you. But it's not the feeling that holds the weight; it's the action that follows. Today, that part will be crystal clear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People trust you. It's the reason they want to work and play with you -- you show up where you say you'll be and deliver what's promised, and for this you will be rewarded in big and small ways alike.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll share a walk down memory lane with someone who's been in your life for a while. Swapping stories isn't just fun; it strengthens bonds and offers everyone a welcome perspective on how far you've come.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 24). A year of big feelings and the many gifts that come with chasing them through adventures, relationships and noble pursuits. You become a mighty leader as you take on hard problems. One exciting project sends you to distant places. More highlights: Hot tickets, team victories and a lump sum that allows for a splurge you've wanted for years. Cancer and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 5, 13 and 19.
