For the second time this year Venus and Uranus form a lucky angle to one another, welcoming good energy and positive change to the realm of relationships. You may not think something needs to change, and yet the way things naturally and effortlessly shift to accommodate life's little surprises will enhance the experience of all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). "Love me, love my dog," the saying goes. And yet the two, from different species, have different love requirements and it's very possible that a person is capable of one love and not the other. The metaphor applies today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Make no assumptions about what people can do just because they have done a thing before. The strength (or beauty or intent) exhibited in one area may not match abilities in another area.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You already know what you're going to do. All the back and forth deliberation is a waste of energy. The real question is, "Why must you pretend not to want what you want?"

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're in the mood to take a risk, but you also have a healthy respect for the danger involved. Much will be accomplished here through deference and reverence, which seems like sublimation but is actually action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Well, it turns out that people are much more complicated and mysterious than you thought. You're a "people," too, and your mysteries aren't just for them to figure out; they are also for you to figure out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Loved ones will need assurance of your loyalty. Loyalty is a hard thing to give, actually. Loyalty is always built on what stands before. Make sure what stands before is rock solid.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Jokes don't come out of nowhere. There's a basis and it's worth looking into. Poke around at your humor as though it's a clue to your deeper beliefs. It is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dominant forces are alive in your realm; they're best observed as a fighter would observe the boxing ring of his future opponent. Sit back and learn about what you'll deal with in the future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mood shifts don't necessarily mean you're moody. In today's case, you're emotionally intelligent and processing what's happening instead of pretending you feel some way other than the way you feel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though people may profess to prefer to be shown love in certain ways, they also might not know themselves as much as they think they do. Give love the way you want to instead of worrying about catering your attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The supermarket line with the fewest number of people isn't always the shortest wait time. Complications can ensue and those take time to sort out. The best route today isn't the shortest one, but the least complicated one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A better system will make you stronger. You'll no longer waste your energy on the parts of a job that don't pay you back. You'll spend time on the right things and build them up.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 26). You'll host as many people as you possibly can this year, as you're the one people want to visit, be around, go places with and celebrate with. You'll root for a winning team. There's a move in February, and you'll be a part of an important project after that. The world will be better for your involvement in this. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 24, 9, 30 and 50.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: "Holiday, how do you feel about space aliens? Do they have astrological signs, too? Do you know any? Have you met any personally? If not, do you think they have come to earth already? Do you believe in them at all? Just wondering. Signed, Curious Aquarius."

I feel great about space aliens and make a habit about sending good energy to all species and dimensions. Not that I think space aliens are particularly friendly, but if they are aggressive, maybe the positive vibes will soften their stance. I have not been made aware that anyone I know is an actual space alien nor have I, to my knowledge, ever met anyone from outer space. As for the astrological sign of space aliens, it would probably be based different constellations. Your signmate Ellen DeGeneres said this about space aliens: "The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray that we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble."

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Among Chris Pine's upcoming projects is "Wonder Woman 1984," a sequel to the 2017 film, and the thriller "Violence of Action." Pine was born when four luminaries were in hardworking Virgo, indicating a lifelong commitment to health and personal improvement. Pine's moon is placed Pisces, in the realm of sensitivity and artistic brilliance — an ideal lunar position for actors.
