Soul Sore Lunar Opposition to Neptune

It’s a unique ache to possess a talent that others appreciate while feeling that the essence of who you are remains unseen. You’re not alone in your wish that someone would recognize and desire the real you. Of course, who you are is a constantly evolving concept. Seeking a deeper understanding of others will help us draw closer to accepting and revealing what is essential within ourselves.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Appreciation gives value to life’s small, overlooked gifts. As you pause to notice the way light falls, a stranger’s smile, the warmth of a favorite spot, gratitude fills your heart and attracts a premium of ordinary beauty to your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll get practice meeting situations as they are. Once you recognize just how much of this is out of your hands, you can detach, observe and relax into the peace and clarity there is to be found in what you can’t control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Generosity of small acts is the theme. A word of encouragement, a little extra attention, an unspoken kindness; you’ll give freely and brighten paths wherever you see the opportunity, and you’ll see them everywhere.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Maybe independence isn’t trying to be whole in yourself but in recognizing that interdependence is human nature. A paradox: It’s good relationships that make you stronger and more self-sufficient.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Patience doesn’t mean waiting passively; it’s an active force. By cultivating calm amidst uncertainty, you become more resilient. Slow down today, trusting that some things need time to ripen before they reveal their full value.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No interaction is ever truly neutral. However subtle someone’s energy, you’ll always leave their presence with a little more or less than you arrived with. Choose your company carefully, mindful of each person’s potential to drain or energize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Plans change, stances shift, the unexpected rolls in. Flexibility isn’t giving up on goals; it’s dancing with whatever comes. You’re the pro whose first instinct is to adapt rather than resist, so you’ll snatch up opportunities the rigid will miss.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have charismatic power to wield, if so inclined, but what is the point in mesmerizing your subjects if you don’t even know what you want? So as not to waste your powers, think about what you’d really like to experience.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). For a lifelong learner like you, learning isn’t limited to books or classrooms; it’s woven into every experience. Today brings another example of the good that happens because you stay curious and open. You’ll be touched by a balmy breeze of insight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The truth is not one thing. Today, the truth will land like a messy blob — many truths blended together, sticky and indiscernible. Leave it alone awhile. Come back later to see how it all settles and what emerges from the slime.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Grace is a flexible kind of strength, an intelligent balance that knows when to push and when to rest. Honor your ambitions but also take the pressure off. No need to race to the end when the journey is open-ended.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even when you’re not actively searching for love, you’re always open to welcoming more of it into your life. Today, love will be searching for you — and before long, you’ll be calling yourself found.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 24). The universe seems to know what you long to hear, and the stars hum those promises that delight your ear — sweet, plausible and, because you believe them, you work with the forces that be to make it all happen. More highlights: a financial investment teaches you skills of management and beyond, an old friendship rekindles, and celebrations twist the plot. Taurus and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 11, 13, 39 and 42.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Actress and pop star Sarah Hyland recently starred in the stage revival of “Little Shop of Horrors,” a performance that earned critical praise and highlighted the vulnerability and charm her sun sign is known for. A show business pro since she was 4 years old, Hyland had dozens of credits before she landed the role of Haley Dunphy on “Modern Family,” and her fun-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius moon and natal Jupiter in Leo suggest the hits will keep coming.
