There's a solar conjunction to Mercury in the sign of immediacy. We hold on to hope that life will get better later, but then again, when "later" comes, it will be "now." Everything flows back to that moment, which happens to be the only one where change can happen, the only moment where fate is formed, arguably the only moment that really exists.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be reminded of how hospitality is sacred to you. You approach your role as a host with thoughtfulness, creativity and intuition, sensing how others would like to be cared for, and you give the same level of attention to your role as a guest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll get what you want and need because you're willing to let go of certain positions and ideas about yourself. This flexibility allows you to adapt, evolve and move toward what truly matters, rather than staying stuck in an outdated version of who you thought you had to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There's a change you want, and it feels big -- like a complete shift. But in reality, it's more of a pivot than a full transformation. Becoming someone different is a simple adjustment of perspective.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may not realize how much weight your opinions carry with others. The way you express your support will have a lasting impact, offering clarity and reassurance. You'll choose your words with care and they'll linger, guiding and uplifting long after the conversation ends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do you stick with what's working well, or reach for what you truly want? The good news -- it's not a choice between the two. You can appreciate where you are while actively building your bridge to something greater.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If someone knew what was going on inside your head at all times, would they still love you? Well, you're that someone today, so hopefully your answer is yes. Offer yourself compassion. Thoughts pass like clouds. They are not who you are. You are the sky.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Pay attention to the sacrifices required to bring something into being, and consider who is bearing that cost. Is someone else paying the price because they have no choice while others reap the benefits without the same burden?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though you may share the same values as another, your rules may vary widely, and your personal systems for living a moral life may also be quite different. "To each his own" is the way of graciousness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today brings a challenge and the surge of adrenaline to handle it. The problem is a bit unusual, but the solution is not. Simple fixes are the answer. Go back to the basics and make sure all your foundational elements are stable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Protecting your space is an act of self-respect. It's a declaration that your time, energy and peace are worth safeguarding. Set a boundary and you release everything outside of it. The more you release, the more space you create for new possibilities to emerge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Working things out with a partner who's at odds with you will spark creativity in ways you didn't expect. The tension between differing viewpoints can serve as a catalyst, pushing both of you to think more critically and outside the box.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The urge to be secretive signals that you have something within you that you value deeply. The instinct to keep things hidden is one of protection. Explore and discover what that "thing" really is. Pay attention to this instinct and pursue a deeper understanding.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 24). You'll have the serenity of being you've craved and a deep knowing that your every thought, feeling and action is a brushstroke in the masterpiece that is uniquely yours. More highlights: good relationships, people showing up for one another, and winning at fitness and sports. Funding for your fondest projects and the progression of your big dream will come. Sagittarius and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 2, 22, 10 and 30.
