What you do once is a moment. What you do twice is a pattern forming. What you do over and over is who you become. The first full week of Taurus season is an opportunity to set a tone. Respect the powerful force that is repetition. It creates, transforms and shapes outcomes in ways we don't always notice. Habits build neural pathways, words shape perception, and repeated actions create momentum — for better or worse. Stay intentional.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people sit in their comfort zones forever. You don't. You wrestle with things, you evolve, and you reinvent. Do you tire of the constant striving? You're certainly entitled to a rest from this, and you'll be inclined to give yourself but the briefest one because your life is energy. It's movement; it's refusing to stagnate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your secret to attraction? Living in the moment. In the way adorable children can get just about anything they want because they are full of life and wonder, your open mind and heart contribute to your irresistible draw. The energy you bring to the present is magnetic, making others want to be near you and share in your glow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There's little to gain from keeping up any kind of front. The important thing isn't what people think of you but how they feel around you. Knock yourself out so others feel at ease and well tended around you. In a related story, you'll find yourself surrounded by warmth, appreciation and connection that lasts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Work feels a little harder when there's something else on your mind, or a proverbial bandage around your heart. This week, focus on powering through the tasks. It doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to be done. And once you knock it out, you'll have a rush of relief, a dopamine hit of accomplishment and a wave of unexpected good fortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love is messy and unpredictable. Trying to control it too much can make you miss out on its beauty. That said, it doesn't mean throwing yourself into situations that repeatedly hurt you. It means embracing love with openness, not fear — trusting yourself to handle whatever comes, knowing you'll survive and thrive regardless.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know how we always remember the one time we broke down in the rain but forget all those other nights that went perfectly? Well, you'll flip the script this week. You'll find it easy to hold onto the good things that happen and all that goes smooth and right. As a result, you'll feel lighter, laugh more and find yourself in better company.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone has opportunities to contribute and serve in some way. Many rise to the occasion in key moments, but few remain steadfast and truly committed through thick and thin. You don't just take on responsibility — you embody it. Because of this, you'll reach a place of peace, fulfillment or even transformation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To stay present and fully engaged with whatever challenge, emotion or task you're experiencing may not seem like a remarkable act of courage, but it really is. Your ability to face your inner world directly, without distraction, is a demonstration of personal growth and resilience. You prove your advancement by handling what's in front of you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). This week's themes circle around the balance between passion and responsibility in your personal life. Passion often pulls you beyond logic and duty, leading to intense, sometimes unpredictable energy. Your personal life flourishes when that exciting passion is tempered by more stable, grounded energies such as loyalty and duty.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Pursuing ambitious dreams can actually shorten the distance between you and success. This week is about the thrill of going for something big and uncertain. A challenging, exciting goal gives you way more energy than working toward the safe but unfulfilling aim. The effort and progress you put into going after that long shot make it an attainable goal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). We can become so accustomed to certain people, places or routines that we stop noticing the details or changes in them. This week, you'll actively keep your mind from glossing over the familiar and missing what's new. You'll step outside your usual environment to gain experience. You'll refresh your view on life so you can know more of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are usually put off by boastful or pretentious behavior, but you find yourself intrigued or even flattered by it this week, perhaps because it's aimed at impressing you. When something you typically resist is a form of admiration — well, it's a different story entirely. You're due for special attention. You deserve these compliments and more.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Courage is the norm for you, only what looks brave to others doesn't feel brave to you because it's simply the right thing to do. Doing the right thing again and again makes it easier. This practice of doing hard things until they are easy will expand your life in wonderful ways. More highlights: You'll be financially taken care of, but you'll never put money before people. New and dear relationships are featured, and ties of all kinds thrive. You'll entertain, and fabulously so. Meaningful gatherings will be fun and germane to your success.
