Welcome, stargazers, to your daily horoscope! Click ahead to see what the stars have in store for you today.
Taurus
April 20 to May 20
Forget about following fads or worrying about what other people will think about "live out loud" Taurus. Today, let the trailblazing side of your personality shine. With the sun and Jupiter in a bold and auspicious trine, you could leave quite an impression on people. A creative project could also come to life with minimal effort, so give yourself permission to color outside the lines. If you've worked hard on an endeavor, this is one 2016's best days to strategically promote. If you're worried about sounding narcissistic by tooting your own horn, ask your influential friends to start a buzz on your behalf.

Gemini
May 21 to June 20
Waking up is hard to do, at least under today’s sleepy stars. Halfway through the day, you may still feel like you just rolled out of bed. Surrender, Gemini! No, this won’t be the most productive day you’ve had all week....not on the surface, at least. When it comes to internal work — like reclaiming your serenity, tuning in to your emotions, and processing a confusing situation — you’ll make great strides. Let yourself reflect, journal, or spend a little time in meditative contemplation. A compassionate woman can help you put words to your feelings if you're struggling to distill what's been bugging you.

Cancer
June 21 to July 22
When you're in the mood, you can be a bona fide “people person,” Cancer. Good thing, since today’s sun-Jupiter trine helps you magnetize a dazzling crowd of collaborators. While you might be a pro at making small talk, it’s hardly your preference. Find your way to an intellectual gathering or steer conversations into deeper waters. Who knows? You could wind up forming an electrifying brain trust with the other great minds in your midst. You could also inspire a group of coworkers to connect in more heartfelt ways. After all, who says there has to be SUCH a stark line between business and personal?

Leo
July 23 to August 22
Your purr may be powerful, but it's no match for your roar. Today's sun-Jupiter trine in your career sectors awakens your fierce competitive streak. You’re in it to win it, no apologies. But that’s no excuse for stepping on people’s turf in your climb to the top. Politics may seem ridiculous to you, but if you alienate a well-connected person, the doors could close to you permanently. Be bold, but not brash. People will happily hand you the crown or give you a seat at the table if you show them respect.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
Bigger, stronger, faster! Today’s flowing trine between the Taurus sun and bountiful Jupiter in Virgo could bring rapid expansion for one of your projects. Summon that Virgo verve and take the initiative to get things off the ground. While you're at it, appoint yourself leader of the tribe. People won’t mind you occupying the captain’s chair — especially if you show up with a solid game plan that’s also fun and adventurous. Remember: There's no reason work can't also feel like play.

Libra
September 23 to October 22
How low can you go, Libra? Today’s sun-Jupiter trine helps you descend to some seriously soulful depths. Your every conversation, even with mere strangers, may feel charged with synergy and a sense of karmic familiarity. And while you're an optimist at heart, no one can be "up" or "on" 24/7. Today is about exploring the shadows and tuning in to feelings that you may have swept under the rug. Don’t be surprised if you wind up playing therapist for a few of your colleagues or friends in return. Keep your office door open and the tissues handy. Bonding time!

Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
Today’s sun-Jupiter trine helps you color outside the lines in your relationships. While you’re a traditional romantic in many ways, you don’t like being bound by convention. If an unusual arrangement, like living in separate residences or having your own rooms, appeals to you, why not try it? Of course, you may be craving MORE closeness, not less. If that’s the case, loop your honey in as your partner-in-exploration and check out one of your more offbeat interests. Single? Today, you could meet someone, possibly online or through mutual friends, who shares one of your quirkier fascinations.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Keep your simmering feelings submerged and put on your game face. It’s a “never let them see you sweat” kind of day, Sagittarius, and if you play your cards right (read: calm, cool, and collected), you’ll quickly gain the upper hand. But more than playing a round of mental chess, you are in the mood for progress. If you see a better way of handling things, don’t be shy about making suggestions. This could spell money in the bank or a nudge up the ladder to a more prominent position — one with greater decision-making powers, even.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
The Capricorn wild child makes a rare cameo under the influence of today’s sun-Jupiter trine. Consider yourself the pack leader today. People will follow your daring antics, but you’ll have to step out in order to get the party started. In love, you’re willing to shoot from the hip today, even if that means totally missing the target. It’s doubtful that you’ll be anything but a turn-on under today’s glowing stars. While you’ll surely stoke some passionate embers, careful you don’t burn yourself by playing with fire.

Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
You’re not the jealous type by nature, Aquarius, but when a twinge of envy bubbles up today, don’t brush it off. Use this data proactively. What prompted you to covet thy neighbor, so to speak? The old green-eyed monster may be illuminating an untapped desire. Rather than holding a grudge, just create your own remix of what this person has done. Don’t hide your admiration, either! Genuine acknowledgement is always endearing. Who knows? You could end the day with a a future mentor or guide.

Pisces
February 19 to March 20
Great minds think alike. Today, you could encounter a fascinating fellow iconoclast. Since you’re kind of a unicorn to begin with, this is no easy feat. See what you can do to ignite this rare spark. Today’s auspicious angle between the radiant sun and free-flowing Jupiter will fan the flames. Don’t try to control the outcome, though. Just share your ideas and get to know a little more about this person. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship — and maybe more.

Aries
March 21 to April 19
Just the facts, Aries. It’s easy for a hot-blooded soul like you to be swayed by emotion, but fight against that tendency today. Ground yourself in simple logic and make your plans as uncomplicated as you possibly can. When it comes to starting a new project, strengthen the foundation before you pour the concrete. And if you have to backtrack a little, don’t stress. You’ll get back into the progress zone soon — but you'll also have the confidence that you’re building your empire on solid ground.
