A good system works in the calm and protects in the storm. Get organized now so when life becomes demanding, emotional or unpredictable, you're golden. The Mercury square to Saturn is a reminder to use stable moments to build the structures that will continue supporting you. Prevent small problems from multiplying into what would require much more energy to resolve.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What some call luck is really the result of sensible choices, steady work and the willingness to act when opportunity appears. You have shown up time after time. Now opportunity comes knocking and you're so prepared.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Other people are experiencing something wonderful about you. Challenge yourself to see what they see. It's not in the mirror so much as in your deeds and how you show up time after time, ready to work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your good taste is indisputable. Sometimes your style is unserious, playful or niche, and still it's stellar. You know what you like and you keep seeking it out, learning about it, perfecting it. Study can be a kind of worship.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Oscar Wilde said, "Morality is simply the attitude we adopt toward people we personally dislike." You challenge that idea by remaining fair even when emotions run hot. Anger would be easier and far more satisfying. But you choose integrity instead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People are impressionable today. Moods, attitudes and behaviors are contagious. Your conduct affects others more than usual. When you behave thoughtfully and graciously, that's the tone that will spread.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Because the same sentence that comforts one person might provoke another, you're mindful of the unique needs of each person you interact with. Your growing awareness leads you to communicate with more precision, warmth, timing and discernment each day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Many encounter openings they never take. Not you. You see it and strike while the iron is hot, forming the opportunity to your specifications. That's what makes it a good fit -- knowing yourself and your needs enough to shape it that way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Competition weakens each side. Connection strengthens the team. People who stop trying to win and start trying to understand create connection instead of competition. Connection gives you more energy to complete the task at hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You handle crises with skill and endurance. But that shouldn't define your life. Please, more pleasure. Buy the flowers, learn the recipe, frame the photograph, take the scenic route. Acts of devotion toward your joy are restorative.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your environment trains your nervous system to expect chaos or harmony. That's why a room can change your thinking. Clearing clutter, repairing broken things and placing beauty where your eyes rest each day creates concentration and ease.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're becoming known for something specific. A signature look, favorite meal, trusted ritual or recognizable style helps people form a strong memory of you and keeps them coming back. So don't try to fit in. There's power in distinction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Opportunities will be disguised as extra work. Hosting dinners, tending gardens, mentoring or mastering skills may exhaust your schedule for a season, though these commitments are also among the richest parts of your life and strong sources of belonging.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 10). It's your Year of Uncanny Companionship. Love appears in whimsical forms. A stranger understands you and offers lucky opportunity. Non-human companionship such as pets, immersive hobbies and mystic protectors and muses are sources of joy, fun, solace and protection. More highlights: You'll be lauded for your intelligent observations. You'll influence, invest and make a difference. Scorpio and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 30, 12 and 15.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: More than five decades after her ascension over the rainbow, the celebration of the iconic Judy Garland still occurs daily through movies, shows, festivals, books and performances to honor what American Film Institute lauds as one of the top 10 greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. Garland's ability to convey deep emotions through her performances touched the hearts of audiences everywhere. Born under a Gemini sun with natal Mercury and Venus in soulful Cancer, Garland's Neptune, the planet of dreams, sparkled from the realm of Leo.
