Daydreams and fantasies can provide a hit of dopamine that feels productive, making us believe we're making progress when, in reality, we might just be running in place in the landscape of our mind. The position of Venus to Neptune warns us to make sure we're building a bridge to the life we want, not an escape hatch from the life we're in.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll look at relationships with clarity and nuance and come to a realization. What you're processing is deeply personal and layered with both admiration and disappointment. Give yourself some grace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Life grows you in its own ways, but it's always satisfying to grow yourself in the ways that matter to you. It will be fun to follow in the steps of someone you admire, aligning yourself and thinking of yourself in the same light.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a superhero get-up — the equivalent to a costume and cape. You'll be glad you suited up because it affects how you interact. You make confident choices and attract stellar opportunities.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Say no more than yes. You'll avoid problems by keeping things in a manageable scale. Bigger isn't better today, so don't expand for expansion's sake.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Recognizing that your parents did the best they could, even though it wasn't enough, creates space for you to focus on what you can give yourself now. Acknowledging the injustice of that without getting stuck in blame creates forward momentum.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those who ask for advice may really want something else — attention, to make a sale, to have an excuse to talk to you or other. So don't knock yourself out to deliver the advice, but instead listen to the need under the need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Curious and receptive people will influence one another. In conversation, we are explorers and mapmakers, shaping and reshaping the world through dialogue. The discussion leaves all transformed, each carrying something new from the other.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The strength of the king or queen isn't in being served; it's in deciding what they value most and acting accordingly. Ask yourself what you need most today. If you can't get it for yourself, you'll have willing helpers at your call.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've shown everyone (intentionally or not) that you can handle things, that you'll fix what's broken, but this doesn't mean you're stuck forever in the role. You're allowed to change how you show up — and it doesn't make you less kind, loving or strong to say no.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Decisions move things forward. Don't worry about the direction now, though, because that will correct itself once you have a bit of momentum on your side. In other words, it doesn't matter what you choose; it only matters that you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because you are creative, you won't be content to take things to a level of competence and take the win, the pay or the position. You are driven to build on competence and make things unmistakably your own — an aim you will achieve today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Abraham Lincoln suggested that "Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." Surround yourself with symbols, reminders and rewards that will help you stick to your own rules.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). The charisma you radiate draws orbits and creates its own swirling mini-universe around you. With copious support for your vision and for the work you want to do, you'll achieve great progress for aims that lift many. More highlights: An ideal format inviting the expression of dormant talents, a windfall occurring under unusual circumstances, and relationships that invite and celebrate your star qualities. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 4, 40, 11 and 19.
