People have expectations we cannot control, some of which are unreasonable, undiscussed and perhaps even secret, though we do sense something about them under these socially astute air-sign vibes. You're not obligated to do anything beyond what you said you would, and even that can be renegotiated.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could travel lighter, emotionally and physically. It's about delineating between essentials and non-essentials. Let go of what you don't need and your energy level increases, allowing you to seize what you do need. The world bends to your dynamism.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Normally, giving yourself in a certain way takes work. But giving in love is different — easier. Love cancels out the effort. You don't even feel it. You're not just doing a task, you're expressing care; you're showing your heart.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When attention rubs you the wrong way, honor the instinct. Perhaps there's something behind the attention. Maybe it's even a red flag. Are they elevating you to a pedestal that traps you? Casting you in a role that limits your autonomy?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Mysteries beckon, inspiring you to see the world differently and encounter your inner world, too. You'll let yourself be affected, knowing it's OK not to fully understand. You don't have to explain or control anything about this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Avoid theorizing or waiting for certain conditions. Words mean next to nothing now. It's action that will move this scene to the next place. Nothing will change until someone starts tearing down the old set and moving the new one to this stage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll share information, though it's not about the data; rather, it's about creating closeness, connection and mutual trust. Bonds take time to build. Do not doubt that interactions warrant the care and forethought you put into them. This is special.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's no right way to be. Choose intensity, and you'll command attention. Choose a laid-back attitude, and it leaves room for people to help you; you'll get plenty of just what you need. Whatever your style, it works for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes your rebellious streak fights for something specific, like a principle or a change that must happen. Today, the rebellion itself is the point. Stir the pot. If not for the stirring, the bottom would burn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Parts of life have devolved into disarray, which is just something that happens when we get busy. It's time for the clean-up. Tidying your material and emotional world will have excellent and preventative effects.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You wish you were playing at a higher level, and this wish is a sign that you're ready to learn and be more. Creative days are ahead as you find new ways to approach problems.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Of course you needn't earn your right to exist. You already belong. Your natural, instinctive self is enough. It desires and hungers. It needs rest, love, pleasure, connection... all available to you. You only need to give yourself permission to have it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Secrets will act like currency in relationships. Someone shares one with you, and you can be proud of the implied trust here. They're letting you into a part of themselves that isn't for everyone. Still, you're not obligated to reciprocate. Ponder first.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 10). Welcome to your Year of Flourishing, financially, physically and joyfully. You have a sensor for where to go to fill up on everything you need to thrive, and you're emboldened to follow its dictates even when it involves a challenge. You'll take care of yourself first to be the person you want to be for others. More highlights: Loved ones surprise you and make you proud, a vitality-enhancing lifestyle change and lots of gaming with a straightforward victory. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 5, 30, 12 and 14.
