The lunar squares emphasize the need to lead with integrity. That means doing it the same alone as you would when people are watching. Also, even when it feels like no one's noticing, they are. In fact, someone's watching you to figure out how to behave, so whatever you do, they will also do. Does that change your agenda?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's senseless to ask for permission in situations where no one is in charge. That would be like riding into the Wild West and asking to see the town ordinances. You'll magnetize opportunity by acting as if you already belong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If something excites you, claim it. Don't try to impress -- try to connect. If you can make someone feel like the most important person in the world while you're with them, you're operating at a high level of humanity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Feelings, when accepted, tend to pass. When repressed or argued with, they linger and distort. Let it move through. Acknowledge it without judgment. Let the feeling exist and it won't bother you for long.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll thrive in the thrust of the challenge because you love the game. You're good at it. You have range. You can play with tone, break the rules, depart, fly and stick the landing. You're magnetic when you're in your zone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're more emotionally fluent than most today. You'll sense the feeling under the conversation -- the thing no one's naming. What should you do with the information? Let it guide your tone, not your agenda, and the rest will come to you along the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've seen enough to know that weird can be wonderful. Something that doesn't make sense at first will turn out to be exactly right. Trust your fascination. It comes from a part of you that is guided by forces beyond logic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are those who want you to do things the same way they would, but that's not going to work. Be polite, be blithe and be moving right along. Even if you're not sure where you're going, you'll get there in your own way. Keep walking.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who act nice because they have excellent manners, or because it's the most expedient way to carry out business. You act nice because you are nice. Everyone feels it and wants to be around you because of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your emotional frequency -- your style of thinking, feeling, creating -- isn't common, but there are still plenty of others out there on a similar wavelength. Hold out for the kind of belonging that doesn't require shrinking or explaining, just recognizing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). An urge to declutter is about more than the stuff. You're clearing space to think, breathe, feel -- and be bored for a second, too, which is part of it. Boredom can be fertile. In a wide-open moment, new ideas will float in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Dealing with anxiety head-on probably won't make it go away. You're well-aware that the internal dialogue is just thoughts, but they live in your body and can be released through movement. Today, you can effectively walk/run/hug/dance it off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). "Let's proceed with mischief," said an anonymous fairy in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Today, it might mean doing one thing out loud that you'd usually keep private. A bold compliment. A strange idea. A confession. Pick someone fun to deliver it to.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 2). Purposefulness and effectiveness will be your hallmarks this year. You'll tackle whatever task life tosses you. Your style of work and care will take on just the shape that's most needed, be it solid, tender, impressive, comforting, tender or instructive. More highlights: You'll get to choose your company. Reciprocation and mutuality are the vibes you most often get. You'll be swept into a quest. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 1, 15, 20 and 50.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Larry David recently wrapped the final season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and the show's legendary run of 24 years. The Cancer moonchild expresses a "crabby" side as a cultural icon of discomfort and hyperawareness. David was born when the sun and Mercury were in Cancer, and he has the hard-shell humor deflector to prove it. He was born when the moon was in Capricorn, the sign of moguls.
