The final days of Venus in Gemini offer a chance to connect, flirt, explore and express without the weight of definition. In this airy phase, the heart gathers impressions, tries on possibilities, flits from thought to feeling like a butterfly choosing its bloom. If something matters, name it now -- before the current turns inward and tides roll home.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Attraction is the theme, and it will be played out in unpredictable, arbitrary, personal and contextual ways. Keep in mind that each person is magnetized uniquely, perhaps irrationally and certainly uncontrollably. We can't help what we like.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's someone who lights you up for reasons words can't explain -- but your body, your energy and your instincts already know. Follow that spark. What matters most is how you feel when you're with them, and how you shine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are trying to be kind, generous and honest in an ecosystem that punishes those very things. When your tactics don't work, leave and try them somewhere else. A thriving person is often a well-placed one.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life isn't always yes or no, right or wrong. You're working with shades, tones, in-betweens. New categories are useful now -- what drains you, what feeds you, what helps things move. Let that guide your next call.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day has a glittering sense of possibility. The excellent part about this is that it won't be nearly as hard to clean up as real glitter is. Let a delicious idea sweep you into new territory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A royal play is unfolding. Someone will re-enter your chambers, not to conquer but to be conquered. And you will never even lift your scepter. The force of your presence, the power in what you've already commanded, the scent of your power will do the rest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You read people in ways they don't expect. You pick up the rhythm of their needs and respond before they ask. This is love in action -- and the reason you're earning loyalty, trust and lasting bonds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're not in the same place you were. What used to feel hard now fits like muscle memory. You'll find yourself looking around again today, though, and noticing there's so much more room to stretch and dream bigger.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're catching signals today -- a glance, a shift, the energy changing ... You're wired for this. Use it to navigate. There's a move you've been waiting to make, and you'll finally get all the signs that it's time to make it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being "on" all the time is exhausting. It also takes quite a lot of skill. It's like doing mental acrobatics while trying not to drop your heart. You're building the muscles that let you balance without draining yourself entirely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can finally present the heartfelt token you've been holding on to. Make a moment of it. The thoughtfulness in the delivery will mean even more than the item itself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The day brings a familiar feeling, a restless stirring of sorts. Take it as a signal that whatever you did last time, it wasn't quite the answer, as this business is still unfinished. This time around, try a different solution.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 27). Much of the year drives toward a crowning achievement -- one that fulfills you on many levels. You'll explore the edges of your talent with those of complementary gifts. Relationships are formed in a variety of ways, through challenge, through coziness, practicality and irrational desire, too. More highlights: You'll go on a treasure hunt. There's romance in unexpected corners. Scorpio and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 40, 2 and 33.
