People want to connect but don't know how. By knowing and expressing your joy -- whether it's through preferences, passions, humor or stories -- you make connection easier, more authentic, and more joyful for everyone involved. By understanding what delights you, you're not only deepening your relationship with yourself, you're also giving others a map.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You love smart people and sharp conversations, but even brilliance can wear thin when it never comes up for air. Shift gears. A little informality can elevate the moment. Real connection happens when minds relax and hearts engage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A weight lifts, and with it comes a rush of relief, like a door swinging open to let in a cascade of good fortune. Work feels purposeful and deep, maybe even altruistic. You'll live your values out loud, turning principles into impact.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll cross paths with some highly predictable people today -- so if their usual patterns don't align with your needs, steer clear. If the road ahead looks blocked, don't charge forward. Choose another path before you even begin the journey.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If the setup you're looking for doesn't exist yet, that's your cue to create it. You have everything it takes to build it -- or, if need be, to imagine something entirely new into being. Your vision is the blueprint.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're building something magnificent. No one builds a cathedral freehand. You're allowed to lean, to plan, to design your support structure. Seek the kind of people who will be a reassuring presence in any situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The one who gets your humor and makes you laugh likely shares more with you than you realize -- but you won't truly know them until you've traveled together, when every shared joke meets the test of real-world miles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't want to be the one driving the bus, but the moment the person at the wheel seems unsteady, you won't hesitate to take control. Leadership isn't always about desire -- it's about instinct, responsibility and timing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll look at things from many angles, with the intent of making an informed decision, but wind up doing what "uninformed you" wanted to do in the first place. Just because an instinct is illogical doesn't make it a bad idea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your body is your vehicle, and like other modes of transport, it needs care and maintenance to do its job of getting you around this world in the style you prefer. Tending to it will bring its own kind of joy today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone will ask, "How did you pull this off?" -- and you'll smile because they didn't see the grind. Meanwhile, today, you'll be hard at it. You'll scale, streamline and start thinking like an owner -- not just a doer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll stop chasing closure and begin opening new doors, one small step at a time. The wins may start modest but they build quickly -- momentum gathers, confidence rises, and soon you're in a place you never thought you'd reach.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Change isn't just possible -- it's probable. The child who once screamed over a toy grows into an adult who finds joy in generosity. Transformation keeps happening, again and again. What once shattered you will now shape you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 4). Leadership is a theme this trip around the sun, and it all starts with a personal habit you establish that proves you can do the ultimate leadership task: leading yourself. More highlights: Your ability to listen -- deeply, beyond words -- is your superpower. People open up to you, bringing about beautiful outcomes for all. Heart connections sing. You'll turn knowledge into currency and ideas into assets. Aquarius and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 18, 7, 44 and 13.
