Pulitzer Prize-winner Herbert Agar suggested, "The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." Not always though, right? After the moon squares Uranus this afternoon and before it hits Leo in the wee hours of the morning, the honest sentence you're waiting to hear or utter will unlock a part of your soul.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your imagination will stretch into visual and musical directions. You'll explain the world in artistic, interesting and colorful ways — even the mundane parts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Write the goal that is in your heart down on paper. It's better if your destination is committed in this way. Without a set destination and estimated time of arrival, there is no flight plan.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are smart ones. Ask the question that wants to be asked and the answer will ring out like a marvelous celebration of church bells.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could face and overcome your opposition, but it would take an awful lot of energy. It's probable that this battle is not important in the scheme of things. Conserve your personal power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The opinion you voice may turn out to be wildly unpopular. In fact, you may stand alone in your views. But what if you're the only one who's right? Time will tell, but until then you'll certainly make the others think differently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today, when someone tells you the truth, but not the whole truth, it's a test to see how well you're listening. If you listen well enough, you can, and really should, tease the whole truth out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It takes someone special to appreciate the beauty in and/or take advantage of today's precious opportunity. You are aesthetically in tune and in a position to touch a one-of-a-kind item or gain access to a rare commodity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Join the group. What's good for others will be good for you. You'll love the feeling of belonging and be very pleased with what you're able to accomplish by contributing to the larger picture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll radiate warmth and charisma, though in a quiet way that will most suit today's conservative surroundings. The size of your gesture may be subliminally small and everyone will feel it anyway.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If the first answer doesn't satisfy you, get another without hesitation ... and another still. You'll be rewarded for your persistence and your high standards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Speak up about your preferences. Let yourself have one of the indulgences you so enjoy. Take your leisure time more seriously and it will reward you more richly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll make your way around the obstacles by applying what you're so good at. You've a talent for finding easy compromises and executing fast adjustments.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (JUNE 7). You'll attract big love and appreciate the care of one who watches over you this year. Your gentle lifestyle changes will stick. Little by little, you'll find your way to a better level of vitality. A new teacher will come into your life in August — someone younger. October offers the means to travel in style. January is your lucky break. Libra and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 44, 39 and 16.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am a Gemini, Cancer rising, Libra moon who tends to be drawn to Libras. I was under the impression that this is completely normal since we share a 5-9 sun sign combination. However, on a regular basis these people have managed to ruin my happy comfortable life (and not in a "learning experience" kind of way, but rather in a "horrible destruction" kind of way). I always vow that I will never speak to their kind again and then they charm me so I do and I think it will be different. Yet it never is. What is this karmic circle I seem to have gotten myself into, and why can't I even have a simple conversation with a Libra without my house burning down or someone dying or worlds colliding?"

When you have a relationship with someone of your moon sign, this person has access to your emotional buttons. Depending on how you conduct yourself, your moon-sign buddy may use or abuse this privilege. You must be extra vigilant not to play the role of the victim around Libra people or they will be drawn to find a way to victimize you.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The shocking loss of pop music's reigning Prince reverberates through this day of his solar return. The master of many musical styles was born when the moon was in eclectic Aquarius, a sign known for innovation, augmented powers of imagination and a special talent for bringing people together for higher causes, such as celebration, rebellion and spiritual expression.
