Once upon a Norse Myth, Loki, the trickster god, crashed a feast where 12 other gods were feasting, which caused such chaos and disaster that the number 13 became unlucky forever after. But not to Taylor Swift, who was born on the 13th, turned 13 on Friday the 13th and, along with legions of others, claims 13 as her lucky number. What about you?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Remember when you dodged a bad situation? You saw the cracks and the inevitability of being pulled under, and you went the other way. Now you're lighter, clearer and free to focus on what fits your vision. So walk forward -- no guilt, no second-guessing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Because you're aiming high, it's important to be flexible with the timing; big or meaningful things don't always happen on schedule, and expecting them to unfold exactly when you want can lead to disappointment. Give your vision room to arrive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Since your enjoyment will count as much as you make it count, you may as well be daring and have what you want. When you're slightly selfish today, you'll end up contributing a lot to the world, laughing and loving in a way that lifts all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It takes courage to let yourself enjoy something fully, even if no one else joins in. Make no mistake, your delight counts toward the delight of the world. Your happiness moves the needle; it's valid, it's real, even if it's not universal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Spontaneous emotion is evidence that you're not fully in control. Today brings moments that feel alive because they weren't planned. They surge. They connect you to an elemental part of yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The way a cat brings out the most canine traits in a dog, you bring out specific traits in people -- playfulness, protectiveness, ambition, honesty... your presence influences the room in a way specific to you. Notice how.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your mind keeps looping to someone from the past because they represent something larger -- like a part of yourself you're trying to outgrow, a dynamic you don't want to repeat or even a fear about how others see you. The way through this will be action, not thought.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you lack enthusiasm for the proposal on the table, it's only because you know the heavy lifting involved (and you might be the one expected to do it). When the work itself feels worthwhile, you'll agree, but not until then.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone you know can hold a grudge like it's their profession. That's dangerous energy to stand near. Move on through, lightly as possible, engaging only where necessary. There's no need to take offense.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Jumping to conclusions will only create mix-ups and mistakes. The first answer that pops to mind could be correct, but don't assume it is, and certainly don't act on it until all the evidence is in. Take a "wait and see" attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When will the dream come true? It's not about being "ready" or "gifted"; it's about doing the work. This comes as good news to you. You don't need a new plan; you just need more repetitions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your heightened senses can feel like both a gift and a burden. It's reminiscent of the story of the princess and the pea -- a level of perception that has you noticing the tiniest shifts, details, inconsistencies. In a moment that requires precision, it's powerful.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 13). You're a glorious fit for a role of guardian and guide. Your care for others strengthens your own roots, too, creating a foundation that supports work and home. Steady financial growth helps and comes in handy for the weeks of adventuring peppered through the season ahead. More highlights: a creative project finds an eager audience, new relationships found, feelings deepen. Leo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 20, 21, 13 and 18.
