Your mindset — which includes your clarity, confidence, readiness and belief — is what determines whether you start, whether you keep going and whether you finish. In a sense, your headspace is the engine. The action you take is the wheels. Mars' final message from Sagittarius: Head in the game, eyes on the road, because wheels need steering.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's fine to daydream, but it's even better when the dream has feet. There's one little step you can take today to start bringing the vision to reality. Just do that, and you'll be on your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some mistakes happen because you're pushing into new territory, and that's a good thing! Don't waste time regretting what you can learn from. Pay attention, adjust and you'll get better fast. An earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) wants to mentor you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're coming to the final moments of a project or phase, and it's something worth savoring. Don't rush the ending; let it unfold in its own sweetness. Sometimes the last page holds the best line.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may find yourself wishing you were like the main character in an adventure drama, organizing your life around a quest. While such a thing seems impractical, isn't there some version of the quest that would be the right fit for your life?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can connect with your inner world anywhere, but the right setting makes it easier. A beautiful space is calling to you today, possibly a park, a cozy corner or a room that feels sacred. Reflection inspires a shift in you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not only have you survived enormously stressful circumstances, but sometimes you've chosen them on purpose. It was out of duty, or to answer a calling — but now it's because the hard things have taught you that you can do anything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll grow faster because you've stopped worrying what will happen if you make a mistake. To wobble, fumble and fall is all just part of learning. Every misstep is data. Every slip hones your skill. Every recovery proves your resilience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Like browsing Zillow for fun, window shopping or hanging out with someone attractive without trying to make it something, you will let yourself want things without forcing yourself to act — pleasure without the pressure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your body may register fear with a quick pulse and electric flutter. But your spirit knows better. It recognizes the moment as destiny, not danger. This is the courage that rises as you step into something thrilling and meant for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can't control how others react to you, but at least you care enough to try to create an enjoyable, interesting experience for them. Many don't think past their own wants, so any selfless effort at all lends you an advantage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The obstacle isn't always a big, scary force pushing against you. More often, it's something gentle and enjoyable that quietly steals your focus. Pay attention to the things that feel good now but keep you from what you really want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Yes, you've been hurt. But you keep the love flowing anyway. You love openly, bravely, sometimes recklessly. Why? Because you know love is worth the risk. Something magical and meaningful will happen to prove you right.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 14). Welcome to your Year of Delicious Momentum on key projects. Some of your moves are intuitive, others strategic, and all brilliant. Your bank account reflects the follow-through on intention. More highlights: You'll find yourself saying yes to invitations that once intimidated you, and each one opens another door. A spontaneous trip becomes legendary. Romance makes you laugh at your own skepticism. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 17, 29, 33 and 42.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Like a Sagittarius, Barbie Ferreira's breakout as a model featured body-positivity messaging and boldness speaking a wider truth. She left HBO's popular series "Euphoria" to pursue roles and representation in alignment with her quest for authenticity and freedom. Look for Ferreira in the comedy "Mile End Kicks," where she plays a music critic who gets romantically involved with members of the indie band she writes about.
