Time marches forward like the arms of a clock, slow, steady and ever-forward. Emotions move more like water, in drips and rushes, rising to the highest points and falling to the lowest. As the moon returns home to the water sign realm of Cancer, these styles of movement will complement one another, creating patterns like tides.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are positive and negative ways to use every quality. Even ruthlessness can be a winning quality if it’s applied well. You’ll make a determined effort. The power of Mars surges through your efforts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You put action behind what you say, and you honor your agreements. You’ll be given responsibility. Within the responsibility is power. Tonight: Residual feelings from your childhood will influence events and relationships.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll watch a problem from the sidelines deciding when and if it would be right to intervene. Do it sooner rather than later. This one has potential to escalate. Monsters are easy to manage when they are small.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a talent for lifting, supporting and teaching. Even when you’re in a position to correct someone or deliver less-than-pleasant news, you’ll do it with a light touch and a positive spin.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Get help with unfinished business. Physically you are more than capable of wrapping this up, but, unless you involve others, the process will be joyless and boring. With a partner, you’ll make quick work of it so all can move on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The sky that’s above you is also within you. In a sense, every intake of breath is a heavenly intermingling, every exhale an interpretation of the universe.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Having been on both sides of oversharing, you’re sensitive to the pitfalls of revealing information that’s not useful to the situation at hand. You’ll strive for, and attain, a healthy balance between honesty and tact.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re luckiest when you work on something that can be completed within the day. Choose a small task. Involve a friend and there will be a thrill in every stage: preparation, process and presentation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll count your blessings and weigh them against your issues, most of which are minimal on a world scale. Knowing that someone, somewhere, would relish your worst luck, you change your ideas about what’s really a problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just put one foot in front of the other and don’t worry about what blocks the path. Obstacles of the outside world are the easiest to get around. Limits you impose on yourself are more difficult, but still surmountable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Fates favor an all-or-nothing approach to projects. Even if you’re not entirely sure, act like you are. Confidence puts everyone at ease. Pretending can get everyone over the initial jitters and put important things in motion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The scenario playing out is a rerun. It matches up with a pattern that’s been with you for a long time, perhaps even since childhood. As comfortable as this cycle may be to you, does it really serve you? If not, there’s an opportunity to break it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 15). The characters, atmospheres and games that fill your year make it feel like one long, unforgettable party. You’ll establish a series of habits that give you the vitality to keep up with the fun. More highlights: A serendipitous moment sparks love. You’ll follow an inkling to a thrilling payout. You bravely offer help, which sends you to wonderful places. Capricorn and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 19, 15 and 17.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: As the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, Arianna Huffington is focused on promoting well-being and addressing the stress and burnout prevalent in modern society. Huffington’s natal chart is unusual as her sun, moon, Mercury and Uranus are all nestled in Cancer, suggesting a highly intuitive, soulful and nurturing personality. Venus in Gemini brings the sharp wit and sociability.
