Venus slips into Pisces like a sunbeam through the bedroom window, bathing the eyelids of the hope of a new day. The psychic eye flutters open along with our more earthly optics, ready to take in views beyond what the physical world can show or words can describe. When you know something but you don't know how you know it, you might think of the information as a wink from Venus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A paradox: the ones who need the most tenderness are unlikely to have the capacity to return tenderness right away, if ever. However, time transforms in unpredictable ways. And luckily, giving tenderness is its own reward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you'd gladly sacrifice for another, it would be a waste of resources to do so unnecessarily. Find out what the actual problem is, and don't take other people's word for it either. Step back for the wide view. What is it that everyone is not yet seeing?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The complexity lies in the fact that what you owe and what you are owed may come in two different currencies. You'll be listening to others with your whole being, opening yourself to connection and any understanding to help you even the balance.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Compromise and collaboration will be necessary. Even more necessary? Making sure that everyone feels heard. Invite all concerned parties into a creative huddle and set the tone for maximum empathetic listening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Victory isn't always about winning the battle; it's about playing with purpose and handling the struggle with grace. In the end, you may not even remember who won or what the prize was because how you navigate the fight is what shines in the mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are answerable questions; then there are questions akin to opening Pandora's box and unleashing chaos upon the world that cannot be put back. If you wish to know more, start with understanding all the answers that exist outside the box.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What causes your mental and emotional vitality to surge is not at all what you might expect. Interactions get interesting. You're catching messages and meanings you weren't before, and that's part of the fun, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pace yourself. Go easy on yourself! Be satisfied that whatever you're doing at any given time, you have your reasons. What you give is enough. What you are is more than enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Routines, locations, time frames, cost — all logistics that may seem to have nothing to do with love but actually have everything to do with love. While emotions and connections often feel intangible, love is deeply intertwined with the tangible aspects of life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Go ahead and assume a higher level of responsibility than is comfortable. It's a hermit-crab situation. The new shell will be roomy and clunky and rub in all the wrong places until it doesn't. You'll grow to fit it perfectly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You might be surprised at the difference you make doing the regular old routine. But when you're not showing up with your smile and your style, people notice. In short, it wouldn't be the same without you. Let that information energize your journey.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You give your all to the work that matters. That which is done in the name of love, loyalty or friendship will top your list of priorities. Service has a way of energizing you, turning up your personal power and your mood.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 2). Your charms are augmented, and the year is abundant with encounters, sweet, enchanting, lucrative and lucky. Clarity of vision makes you tenacious, and your ability to paint the picture for others makes you a respected leader. More highlights: Lively reunions, daring excursions and multiple kinds of delciousness — psychological, gastronomical and aesthetic. Taurus and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 30, 33, 13 and 36.
