Do not doubt that your brain is similar to the brains of other humans, and yet your mind is wired up so uniquely that it would be impossible for another person to have the exact sequence of thoughts and impressions that you experienced in the last hour. In this moment before the new moon, let your appreciation of your own unique thought processes bolster your esteem.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's no need to pursue your next adventure. You're better off to let it sneak up on you when you're not looking. In a quiet moment where nothing happens, everything changes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your body is your temple, and your soul is jealous, as it craves care and worshipful moments, too. Nurture the intangible by making time for the people and activities that stimulate and inspire you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don't always want to be observed. There is great benefit from going under the radar now. In fact, you do some of your best work when you're able to be the observer and quietly learn from the masters who walk among us.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's not helpful to think of the current scenario as a balancing act. There are too many disparate elements of various weight that won't balance each other out; however, you'll still exhibit grace as you find a way to dance with them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be figuring out who deserves your trust, and don't give it until you know for sure. Take your time. Anyone who pressures you to rush your decision is likely the least trustworthy of all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The theater of your life will be filled with a mixed audience, some biased to love you and some who never will. It's the diverse group that grounds your experience in a reality many can relate to, which in turn adds to your popularity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever your reasons were for sticking with an unsatisfying status quo, they will no longer apply. Make your move. You'll soon be doing work you love in an aesthetically pleasing environment and thriving all the way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anyone who made you feel like you weren't in control was conjuring an illusion in hopes of making a power grab. All you have to do is steer and you'll realize that the wheel has been in your hands the entire time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone shares your core values and will make decisions that harmonize with yours. It's so effortless to cultivate this meaningful relationship that you're not always aware it's what you're doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). An affordable suit with perfect tailoring cuts a sharper silhouette than an ill-fitting luxury get-up. The principle applies to other areas. Fit will be one of the most crucial elements of the situation. It's worth it to wait for (or create) an exceptional match.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you aren't sure which direction to go, follow the person with the most confident stride. Passion will create momentum. First you're swept up in someone else's, and before you know it you'll be making your own way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). New situations are inherently awkward, so don't take a fumble here and there as a bad sign. When you're patient and open minded, even if things don't work out, you'll be able to look back with pride on the grace you exhibited.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 1). You discover a new way of working, which creates success with a tidy efficiency. You'll enjoy the astonishment of those who underestimated you and the admiration of a whole new crew. More highlights: romantic scenery, and the sweet affection that make it sparkle; a financial break that allows you to apply your hard-earned money toward a dream. The rising of those you taught will be a pride and joy. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 28, 33, 10 and 50.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The latest installment of "Bridgerton" features none other than the legendary Julie Andrews as Lady Whistledown. From Mary Poppins to Maria von Trapp and beyond, the lovely Libra doesn't just play roles; she creates iconic and beloved characters for the ages. Andrews has natal moon, Mercury and Jupiter in Scorpio, a sign of emotional depth and soulfulness helpful in portraying too-good-to-be-true characters realistically.
