When the Sun and Moon are square, forming the only major aspect of the day, the problem becomes obvious. The positive side is that the answer to one problem can also be the solution to ten others. The right attitude can lead to excellent solutions. In some cases, the right attitude (SET ITAL) (END ITAL) is the solution. Apply it across the board with excellent effect!
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Understanding another perspective can be a kind gesture, but it is not always. Some seek understanding so they can use it to their advantage. Watch out for those who act from the heart and those who act from a strategy.
BULL (April 20 – May 20) It’s natural to give more when you have more to give. But since you don’t have control over what you get, the really good give regardless of what they get. This is a step in the right direction.
TWINS (May 21-June 21) Don’t let fear of conflict stop you from getting close to people. Friction is not the norm for most people. And when there is conflict, it’s the quickest way to learn about people, which is also a gift.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22) You have so much on your plate right now that you can easily become overwhelmed. But you are also unusually calm. You focus on the task at hand and get the work done.
LION (July 23 – August 22). You’ve been waiting to be paid or repaid, and the wait is over. What’s due to you will manifest in miraculous ways. Take some of it for good luck and invest it in the next round of goodwill.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Intrinsic motivation is so high today that you may not even notice extrinsic rewards. When they arrive, they are a blessing, a surprise, a reward – like a wad of found money you forgot about.
SCALE (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are attracted to people who care about others, especially emotionally. You are like that and certainly deserve the same social attitude and tenderness. People who look out for you will be among your favorites.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 21). You will change your reactions to certain people and your relationships will reflect this. Being aware of your reactions, keeping them present and controlling them powerfully is a milestone in your development that will take you far.
PROTECT (November 22-December 21). You will be called to serve, which is an honor. Although the work involved is a lot of work, you will realize how special it is to be trusted and chosen. You will also be surrounded by people who make the challenge a pleasure.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19). You will again be re-examining the deeper reasons for your desire for change. It is helpful to establish these reasons right at the beginning, perhaps before you even take the first step of the journey – so that they are there for you when the initial rush subsides.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18). You’re not yet sure if a venture is right for you. Does the effort make you feel better? Does it sharpen you? These are reasons to keep going, even if the actual experience isn’t what you’d call enjoyable.
FISH (February 19 – March 20). Feelings change and so do all other circumstances of a relationship. Your values are more permanent. Whether a relationship is good for you and should be part of your life is something only you can decide.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 26) Your cosmic birthday gift is a sense of belonging to yourself, wherever you are in the wide world. Before 2024 is over, you will find a lost treasure and invest it where it will grow. Other highlights: You will sort out a messy situation and subsequently be appointed and promoted for your skills. Also: travel, wild stories and the promise of true love that comes true. Taurus and Virgo love you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 33, 13, 28 and 47.

Whether she’s playing the heroine or the sea witch who ruins everything, McCarthy brings her trademark humor and compassion to the role.
