Though complaining to the right people can be the first step in changing a dynamic, the complaining itself is not what fixes things and may be totally unnecessary. The Mercury and Mars opposition suggests skipping this step altogether. Go straight to coming up with possible solutions to present to the people who have the power to implement them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The transformation you desire is possible insomuch as you are committed to making it happen and in love with the process. It's one thing to be excited about the transformation, but it's being excited about the work involved that will make the difference.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's an energy you need to shake, and multiple manners of doing this, though the simplest way will be to revisit the memory and process any stuck feelings. After you release the bothersome emotion, you will move freely forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Not long ago, someone extended a hand when you needed it most. Now, you have the chance to do the same. Offering that gesture of support is not just kind; it's a privilege that completes the circle.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People share their experiences of hardship, which can create understanding, empathy and trust. Connecting over shared struggles can build deep friendships or relationships if boundaries and respect are maintained.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In the movies, true love can start with a feisty meet-cute. In real life, to clash in the first few minutes of knowing someone should be considered a red flag, and a warm, good feeling is an excellent sign the relationship will work out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's a calm power in you, best conveyed quietly. Soft words spoken with confidence will inspire people to move. Your words will have them reconsidering what's possible and acting in ways they weren't intending to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't always showcase your talents openly, as you value humility and prefer to avoid unnecessary scrutiny. However, sharing your strengths today is favored and will ensure you're included in excellent opportunities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You've been disappointed in the past, but you still lead with hope for honest interaction, sweet connection, and the mutual recognition that keeps hearts open and communication unimpeded. Your hope will be realized.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To decide if an endeavor is worth the effort, it helps to know what prize you're going for. Winning is not, in and of itself, a good enough aim to keep you interested. You are far more interested in camaraderie than supremacy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You began with a goal and planned backward, but some steps have proven slower and costlier than expected. Now's the time to be tenacious. Ask for input. Adjust the plan.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are thoughtful and discerning. Your curiosity and ability to reflect on one interesting thing amid a swirl of information is impressive. Today provides you the tools to explore and to keep steady as you channel your energy back to work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As important as your relationships are to you, there are some things that really are best accomplished alone. Today's success will be all yours. One good friend is more than enough to make the journey delightful, and that friend is you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 23). You will wear your full potential like a crown. This year serves your spot-on priorities, nurtures your wild heart and empowers your bold choices. More highlights: a treasure hunt for the ages, the visitors imparting good fortune and a working model you can repeat to produce lucrative results beyond expectation. Virgo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 13, 25, 37 and 50.
