New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer

Today's New Moon Solar Eclipse at 10:34 pm EDT in hypersensitive Cancer reveals how easily our feelings can be hurt. Affectionate Venus squares austere Saturn, reminding us that it's healthy to have boundaries even in a loving relationship. Unfortunately, we can inadvertently create isolation and dissatisfaction simply by making our limits known. Luckily, the energy shifts into a more positive pattern when the Moon enters lively Leo at 11:27 pm EDT.

Aries: You may be tired of acknowledging the feelings of other people who don't even seem to notice yours. If you are angry, you may not be concerned about doing the right thing. You might overreact when taking care of your own needs, leaving a loved one sitting on the sidelines, wondering what happened. Be careful; expressing your frustration this way is not a path to happiness.

Taurus: Today's eclipse activates your 3rd House of Communication, encouraging you to share your feelings, even if doing so has negative consequences. You are driven to express yourself in no uncertain terms when you realize that you haven't been as clear as you thought. Perhaps an issue has lingered too long and now as you address it, other problems are stirred up too. Keep in mind that unseen forces are at work, so move through any conflict with extra care and flexibility.

Gemini: You may go through a period of self-doubt today as the New Moon Eclipse falls in your 2nd House of Values. Reconsider what's most important to you, but don't dismiss the needs of a partner or others in your family. Even if you aren't particularly happy right now, don't look to blame anyone else. Just make whatever adjustments you can and then move on. Things could improve rather quickly if you let them.

Cancer: Today's Solar Eclipse is in your introspective sign, signifying big changes in your life. You are at the end of one cycle, but not quite ready to start the next one yet. You may not be able to see the good news that's already coming your way. But don't push it; give yourself sufficient time to process what's happening before jumping into something new.

Leo: You may be feeling a bit on-edge as anxiety surfaces, even if you don't know the source. There may be particular issues you are currently dealing with, but your worry might be blown out of proportion. Nevertheless, don't try to deny your feelings or they will only grow stronger. Instead, watch them without resistance and let them ripple through you and float into the past. Tomorrow will surely be a new day.

Virgo: You want to be part of a larger group of like-minded people with today's eclipse falling in your 11th House of Friends. But you might not agree with everyone else now, and even if you don't share your differences you still may feel excluded. Paradoxically, you'll be more accepted if you let your peers know exactly where you stand.

Libra: You may be in for some unexpected changes at work as today's Solar Eclipse catalyzes your 10th House of Career. Tensions that have been building for a while could suddenly come out into the open and turn your life upside down. Instead of worrying about the unknown, embrace the upcoming shift. Even if there is a temporary loss, what happens now can ultimately help to put your life back into balance.

Scorpio: You can see far into your future now and are able to make adjustments that alter the course of your life. If you like what you see, just keep the current patterns going as best you can. But if you are dismayed by your vision, this is the time to set a long-term cycle into motion. Don't be afraid to shake things up if that's what it takes. If you don't act preemptively, then something will likely occur anyhow to force the issue.

Sagittarius: It's easy for you to make your life look good, yet you could be hurting deep inside where others cannot see. Today's New Moon Eclipse in your 8th House of Intimacy can be like a stroke of lighting that awakens you to the truth. Once you understand why you hide your feelings, you'll be able to share your realization with others. But don't tell everyone; pick your confidants carefully before you trust them with your precious secrets.

Capricorn: The nurturing Cancer Solar Eclipse zaps your 7th House of Partnerships, presenting you with an urgent situation that needs your immediate attention. Don't try to use logic in order to decide what to do. Follow your instincts today. If your immediate reaction is to help, then drop everything, even if it means setting aside a previous commitment, and show up where needed.

Aquarius: Your regular routine may be disrupted by the Solar Eclipse that falls in your 6th House of Habits. Instead of doing the same things you do every other day, think about why you are doing them first. Breaking out of a rut can be liberating, yet it also could makes others worry about you. Don't succumb to the peer pressure; initiate changes to improve your life instead of trying to ameliorate anyone else's guilt trip.

Pisces: Others don't know much about your inner process, so their expectations of you can be quite unrealistic. In fact, as Uranus in your 1st House of Personality trines today's Solar Eclipse, your actions may seem totally outrageous to those closest to you. Nevertheless, radical behavior may be necessary if you are trying to revitalize your creativity or energize a romance that feels stuck.

Mercury Forms SemiSquare With Venus

This is a day of obvious contradictions. The Taurus Moon reminds us that it's sensible to steer clear of unnecessary complications, nostalgically drawing us toward a simpler lifestyle. But we may not get our heart's desire today, for logical Mercury forms an uncomfortable semisquare with romantic Venus, pitting our thoughts against our emotions. Meanwhile, Mercury harmonizes with quirky Uranus, turning up the volume on our most outrageous ideas.

Aries: You may try to stay calm today, but your plans for a laid-back day fall to the wayside as you recognize an old behavior pattern of yours that resurfaces now. It's a bit disconcerting to face this problem, for you thought you were done with it. Nevertheless, the best thing you can do is to work with your current awareness. Avoiding the issue is not advised, for denial will only strengthen a bad habit.

Taurus: Managing your schedule could be a real problem now because you cannot make the additional appointments, phone calls and tasks go away. Acknowledging your limits can be the most important thing you do today, for then you'll be able to better handle your time. Once you have established what you cannot do, it's easier to say no. The sooner you set boundaries, the smoother your day will go.

Gemini: Your key planet Mercury is electrified by shocking Uranus today, lighting up your nervous system like a neon sign. You cannot contain your excitement, but you still might be afraid of being seen. You don't want to stand out as being different now, yet your ideas are good enough that they should be shared. Even if it makes you a bit uncomfortable, take a risk and show others your unorthodox side. You'll be glad you did.

Cancer: You are in touch with a higher form of intelligence today and although it may be your own, it also could be from another dimension. If you believe in angels or spirit guides, then remain open to further instruction from them. If you do not, then at least trust your intuition now. Don't try to rationalize what you seem to know; just act on it.

Leo: You need to appear to have everything under control, even if you do not. Fortunately, you'll be able to pull this off, for you perform admirably now when faced with a crisis. But you don't need to turn an insignificant event into a major drama. Just prepare the best you can, show up with a willing attitude and let the moment teach you what you need to learn.

Virgo: Your key planet Mercury is stirring up trouble today as it sends mixed signals your way. Your brain is processing faster than you can form words, which might make you appear agitated to others. But you can be absolutely brilliant now if you are able to set language aside and directly access what you instinctively know. Avoid expressing your thoughts or trying to explain yourself. You can always circle back around later and share your ideas once your nerves settle back down.

Libra: Balancing your current need for stability with your desire for excitement can prove exhausting, for every little thing that happens to you today stimulates an avalanche of memories. More thoughts rush into awareness now than usual, and it's tough to maintain your sense of perspective. Keep in mind that your system is tightly wired now and that anything you can do to calm down will be helpful. Try soothing music, meditation or a walk in the woods.

Scorpio: You crave fewer distractions today and although you may be able to manage your outer world, it's your imaginative realms that are the real challenge now. Others might not even realize how much you have going on and it's probably pointless to try to tell them. They won't understand because you have your dramas contained and well managed. Accept your complexity without attempting to change it; resisting your inner nature is an act of futility.

Sagittarius: It may seem as if others in your life have more going on than they are saying and it worries you because you think you are missing something important. But everyone else's inner worlds may be indescribable today. No one is purposefully hiding anything from you and your investigation only adds to the tension. Let the unspoken truths remain silent for now; they will take shape and be expressed when the time is right.

Capricorn: It's easy to settle into a pattern today that demonstrates your competence without too much effort on your part. But as capable as you appear to others, you don't necessarily feel that way yourself now. You know that you have your bases covered, yet you are deeply concerned that your inadequacies will soon be discovered. Realizing your vulnerabilities is humbling, yet sharing your concerns with a trusted companion can deepen a lasting friendship.

Aquarius: You may pride yourself in your rugged individualism, yet your desire to be different can get in the way of your success. Instead of attempting to prove that your ideas are better than anyone else's now, it's more useful to establish common ground. Remember, you can still be a non-conformist, even if you choose to cooperate with others today.

Pisces: It's your day to visit Fantasy Island, yet no one other than you needs to know that you're going anywhere at all. Fortunately, you are able to travel instantaneously in your mind, returning as needed for conversations with co-workers and friends. Don't bother explaining your double life today. Just come and go as needed, for you are adept enough now to be in two places at once.

Moon Dives Into Pisces

The individualistic Aquarius Moon joins the second of the three superconjunctions between auspicious Jupiter, dreamy Neptune and healer Chiron. We may reconsider long-term plans that we thought about in May when these three planets first joined. However, it may take until the end of the year for our current opportunities to reach fruition. The Moon's dive into watery Pisces at 11:43 pm EDT softens the focus on our intellectual lens.

Aries: You often push the envelope when you become excited about what you are doing. But now your enthusiasm might be less about what you do than what you say. Although you could be slow to discuss your ideas for fear of rejection, once you start talking it may be tough for you to stop. Don't overplay your hand. Share what's most important and then be quiet.

Taurus: Your career goals may simultaneously seem closer than ever and yet still far away. On one hand, the most unrealistic goals are within reach. You can dream the impossible dream and set out with your legendary determination to make it real. On the other hand, you can get complacent if you fool yourself by believing your destination is close. Be smart and use some common sense when defining what success means to you.

Gemini: This could be a wise time to revisit old plans you may have had to go back to school. However, it's best if you want to study a subject that opens your mind to new ideas and expands your perspective beyond your normal view. Planning a journey is possible now, too, for this can be a learning experience, assuming you will take the time to educate yourself about your destination. Either way, no immediate action is required; give your ideas time to germinate and grow.

Cancer: It's surely much safer if you keep your desires for increased emotional intensity to yourself. Unfortunately, without taking a chance it's unlikely that you will be able to achieve the intimacy you want with someone else. Showing your vulnerability is never an easy thing to do, but now the benefits outweigh the risks.

Leo: You may try to logically create a framework in order to better understand a relationship that continues to be confusing to you. Unfortunately, it's challenging to break out of your old and familiar patterns because an analytical approach keeps bringing you around to the same unsatisfying place. Let go of your desire to know any truth other than what's in your heart.

Virgo: You have a rare opportunity to positively impact your well-being by changing your attitude now. The Moon's current visit to conceptual Aquarius and your 6th House of Health can focus your energy toward self-improvement. The power of positive thinking is not just a clever catchphrase today; it's your key to a happier and healthier life.

Libra: You could fall in love today and yet your feelings may have little to do with the people in your life. You are more open to the idea of romance, whether or not you are willing to express your desires. Since a current attraction might be the result of your daydreams, you don't really require anyone to act out your fantasy. If no one shows up, just enjoy the fruits of your imagination.

Scorpio: You may have an idea of how a scenario at home will play out over the months ahead, especially if your long-term goals have been under scrutiny recently. But it's difficult to know what to do because the specifics of your future are still elusive. Instead of trying to make up your mind now so you can get on with making plans, give yourself permission to dream without pushing to make them real.

Sagittarius: Communication can be frustrating today if you want answers. You may be required to process a lot of information now, but it could seem to lack any substance. Normally you are comfortable staying in the realm of abstract ideas, for you are a natural philosopher. Nevertheless, you have an incredible opportunity if you are willing to take what you know and set a concrete goal. Making a commitment to your own success will have positive consequences.

Capricorn: Your sense of self-esteem can be blown out of proportion now as others encourage you to reach for your dreams. Naturally, self-confidence is a great attribute to possess, but too much of it can put off those who might otherwise be your best allies. Tempering grandiose ideas with a bit of modesty can be your smartest move. Having a healthy perspective on your life is a worthy goal and can make the difference between success and failure.

Aquarius: You may need to reconsider what you can deliver today, for you might have promised someone too much. You didn't mean to mislead anyone; it's just that everything seems to take longer than you imagine. You may be tempted to just give up, but try not to overreact. Take a deep breath, reevaluate what you can accomplish and let others know what they can expect from you now.

Pisces: It's hard to control your dreams, for they seem to overflow right into your waking life, making things even more confusing than they already are. But don't try to justify yourself to anyone today. If you aren't sure how to handle a situation, pull back a bit until you know what to do. Temporarily retreating is wiser now than pretending that you can tell where your fantasies end and reality begins.

Cancerian Cruise, Tyler, Hanks

Sign of the month, Cancer, the Crab, a feminine sign in the zodiac. The Sun in astrology stands for the inner nature, person's essential character. The fourth sign of the Zodiac, Cancer is ruled by the restless Moon. A cardinal (creative and original) sign, Cancer governs home life, matters to do with women (especially the mother), as well as sensitivity and emotional intensity. It is a water sign, so Cancerian people are emotionally intense and deeper than they appear on the surface, while quite sensitive and understanding once you get through that tough exterior.

The Sun, ruler of our inner nature, is somewhat dimmed in Cancer, the home of the Moon. Creative and romantic, with a strong love of home, family and tradition, a good communicator and a strong provider. Cancerians' deep sensitivity presents them with valuable and illuminating intuitions, especially regarding those they care for.

Paradoxically combining a love of travel with a deep need for security, Cancerians surround themselves with sentimental objects from the past, including souvenirs, hand-me-downs and keepsakes. Cancerians are remarkably good at accumulating things; indeed, they can be unwilling to throw anything out, even relationships that have passed their use-by date.

Cancerians make good business people, combining artistry, originality and drive with an understanding of financial matters, marketing and the needs of the public. They can trust their intuitions, but they do need to generate a faith in themselves which will not be dampened by gloom or depression over what, in retrospect, may appear to be relatively insignificant problems. Cancerians have the natural ability to be diplomatic and to speak out when necessary or keep their mouth shut. Home and family ties will be significant in Cancer's life and developing a secure, comfortable home environment will be a boon to Cancer's state of mind, irrespective of her/his marital state.

Cancerians are creative. Even those among them who may not have any particular talent can use some involvement with art, music, or writing as another method of emotional release, rather than indulging in eating binges or other destructive habits. Living or spending time near the water is a relaxing, as well as creatively stimulating environment for Cancerians.

Cancerian Tom Cruise
Born on July 3, 1962, Syracuse, New York, USA. The road to stardom wasnt an easy one for Tom Cruise, despite his disarming good looks and megawatt smile. When a knee injury dashed his hopes of competitive wrestling (yes, really!), he turned to acting. After bouncing around between the stages of New York and L.A., Cruise finally got hot with his winning portrayal of the oversexed teen in Risky Business. More roles followed, with action flicks like Top Gun and Days of Thunder paving the way for bigger paydays ahead. As one of Hollywoods most bankable leading men, Cruise has turned heads in films such as Rain Man, Jerry McGuire and the Mission: Impossible series. Cruises ten-plus-year marriage to lovely actress Nicole Kidman (his costar in the Stanley Kubrick thriller Eyes Wide Shut) finally came to an end, and rumors certainly fly surrounding his love life. Whats up next for this brightest of stars? Lets see what the stars have to say!

Born with his Sun in Cancer, Cruise is a charming mix of sentimentality and good instincts; hes sure to remember birthdays and anniversaries and always shows up with just the right gift. The actor also likely carries the flag as a true patriot. Born on the Fourth of July probably really hit home for Cruise. On the flip side, Cruises emotionally sensitive Cancer Sun casts him as a man who is easily hurt and prone to brooding. With his Moon in Leo, Cruise has a real flair for the dramatic. This placement pegs him as a larger-than-life guy who is quite at home on the big screen. The combination of a Cancer Sun and Leo Moon signals someone who isnt afraid to show his emotions. In general, though, Cruise is likely to embrace a sunny disposition and feels most at ease around family and close friends. Since the actors Moon is making a wide Opposition to Saturn, the Planet of Hard Work, its easy to see where he gets his considerable determination. Although he is warm and loving at home, its someone else who shows up at the office: a focused, disciplined individual who lives for achievement and success.

With his Mercury in Gemini, Cruise is articulate and quick-witted. Expect him to learn his lines quickly and to have a lot to say about a production in general. His agile mind also craves knowledge and learning, which is likely to influence his choices of film roles. He is likely to bore quickly and cant risk being typecast, preferring instead to play a wide range of roles in a similarly wide range of genres. Cruises Venus in Leo is the real reason behind his raw sexual magnetism. This Lion presence makes him especially attractive and charismatic; hes likely to be a true romantic and a demonstrative lover who showers his partner with gifts. Cruise is not only ardent in love, he worships his lover, but he also wants to be the dominant partner in the bedroom.

Cancerian Liv Tyler
Born Liv Rundgren, on July 1, 1977 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, New York) is an American actress most famous for her roles of Grace Stamper in Armageddon and Arwen in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy trilogy (2001–2003).

Liv is the first born daughter of Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith; and Bebe Buell, a model and singer. Having grown up with the understanding that rock star Todd Rundgren was her biological father, she only found out the truth about her parentage at age 9, after noticing that Steven Tyler's daughter Mia Tyler looked like her twin. She then changed her name from Liv Rundgren to Liv Tyler but kept Rundgren as a middle name. Liv's mother named her after Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann.

After starting a career as a model (with a height of 5' 10"), she quickly moved into acting. She first became known to TV audiences when she starred alongside Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith music video "Crazy" in 1993. Later, she was cast almost simultaneously for Silent Fall and Heavy; the filming of Heavy was delayed until she became available. By the age of 20, she had already starred in several successful movies, including Stealing Beauty, That Thing You Do! and Inventing the Abbotts.

Although it was her appearance in Armageddon (which was released on her 21st birthday, and included the song "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by her father's band) that made her known to a very wide public, she has proven herself in more sophisticated acting challenges such as Onegin (based on the 19th century Russian novel by Alexander Pushkin), in which she convincingly portrayed the character of Tatyana Larina, and two movies directed by Robert Altman: Cookie's Fortune and Dr. T & the Women. Her most successful role came in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, in which she played Arwen Undómiel. Tyler was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World in 1997. She was also voted the 6th Sexiest Female Movie Star in the Australian Empire Magazine in September 2002, and #2 in TheAge.com's Top 100: Natural Beauties of all time in 2004.

On March 25, 2003, she married British musician Royston Langdon of the band Spacehog. On December 14, 2004, she gave birth to a son, Milo William Langdon, in a New York hospital. Tyler's ancestry is a combination of Italian, German, Russian and Cherokee Indian on her father's side. She dated actor Joaquin Phoenix from 1995 to November 1998. The couple met on the set of Inventing the Abbotts.

Birth time: 6:08 am. With her sun sign in Cancer, Liv Tyler has her moon sign in Capricorn. While her sun and moon signs are in Cancer and Capricorn, Tyler's ascendant sign is Cancer.

Cancerian Tom Hanks
Born on July 9, 1956, Concord, California
With his earnest nature, non-threateningly handsome physique and almost goofy sensibility, its almost impossible for women or men to dislike Tom Hanks. Hes smart, too, he turned a middling acting career into a singular success thanks to a few well-chosen roles. While starring opposite Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle endeared him to many, its his Academy Award-winning turns in Big (directed by Penny Marshall), Philadelphia and Forrest Gump that put him over the top. After Saving Private Ryan during the summer of 1998, Hanks moved on to new romantic-comic adventures with Ms. Ryan in Youve Got Mail. Cast Away proved another break-away hit and garnered the actor another Best Actor nomination, and Road to Perdition featured him in a gorgeously filmed period piece. What do the stars have in store for this sweet, smart and funny guy?

For Hanks, family is the most important thing in his life. Born under a Cancer Sun, its no wonder this sweetie pie cant stop gushing about his lovely wife, actress Rita Wilson. Hanks is likely to have a good grasp on his past and what hes all about. He may be a bit moody at times but in general is an emotionally attuned partner who loves staying in with the fam far more than going out on the town like most of his Hollywood-insider counterparts.

With a Leo Moon, Hanks has plenty of presence and the dramatic flair it takes to be a great actor. He knows how to make other people laugh and feel entertained. In terms of life with Rita, Hanks is a dramatic and romantic partner who likes to take the dominant role in his relationship, showering his wife with gifts and other sweet indulgences to make her happy and adoringly appreciative of his efforts.
His Mercury, the Planet of Communication, lies in sensitive Cancer as well; this may mean Hanks simply loves to talk about his family, but more likely it points to his way of appealing to others emotions. This may be the Planetary placement that explains his choices of such sweet, homespun characters in films that appeal to peoples sense of family, of love and duty and honor.

His Venus in Gemini signals that Hanks needs a relationship that challenges him intellectually. It took him two marriages to get it right, but with Rita, Hanks seems to have found relationship bliss. Though they tend to conduct their relationship outside the periphery of paparazzi and rumor, its safe to assume Rita is as quick-witted as Hanks is. His Mars in Pisces indicates that Hanks has the makings of a creative, compassionate and caring soul. With a confluence of Water Signs (Cancer, Pisces) in his chart, the Oscar-winning actor is highly intuitive and emotive as well. With the dramatics of his Leo Moon and the intuition of his Mars in Pisces, Hanks has great actor written all over his chart!

Moon Enters Sagittarius

It's tough to manage our feelings when the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 10:10 am EDT. We need to express ourselves in a big way without regard for the consequences, yet in our haste to be heard we could miss something important. We may believe that we are running out of time as clever Mercury ends his visit to witty Gemini and enters the kinder and gentler world of Cancer the Crab today. However, a speedy response doesn't make it the right one.

Aries: You are still not receiving the mandatory memo of self-restraint and the fiery Sagittarius Moon won't likely help you out today. In fact, you may feel as if the signs are encouraging you to do it all when you really don't have the energy to sustain so much activity. Do yourself a favor and just say no, rather than spreading yourself too thin and disappointing everyone involved.

Taurus: It's tempting for you to overspend on something today and then regret it. You might feel like you'll lose your chance if you don't make your purchase right away. But this is an illusion; the sense of urgency you feel is more self-imposed than based on real circumstances. You will make a better decision if you take more time to consider your options before buying anything now.

Gemini: Your key planet Mercury has been dancing in your interactive sign for the past few weeks, encouraging you to be even more sociable than usual. But now, even if another party sounds like fun, you don't have as much to say with the communication planet in quiet Cancer. Friends or family may urge you to get back in the game, but you don't need to succumb to their pressure. Follow the guidance of your inner voice.

Cancer: You may have big ideas today about what you intend to do at work, but even your best-laid plans could be set aside if you get distracted by something else. It's not that your energy is scattered; it's just that you can grow bored of doing what's on your list. Give yourself permission to draw outside of the lines today, but make sure you follow through on whatever you start.

Leo: You are of two minds today. On one hand, you're enthusiastic about playing with your friends. Fun and games are high on your list of things to do. But you are also weary of always being the one who makes things happen. You need some downtime and the idea of going off by yourself for a while sounds delightful. Fortunately, it's not an either/or situation, so schedule some time for both.

Virgo: You may be at odds with yourself today because you cannot find a comfortable position between too much and not enough. Although you are usually skilled at handling details, your current optimism makes it easy for you to take on more than you can deliver because you are missing crucial pieces of information. It's okay to let your mind run away with the possibilities, but keep reminding yourself that common sense is your biggest asset.

Libra: The way you seek balance today may seem strange to others. For the first part of the day, you tend toward expansive and opportunistic thinking. Everything appears better than it actually is. But then you become concerned that you took something too far and may overcompensate by seeing potential problems everywhere you look. Naturally, the truth is somewhere in the middle, and it may be healthier in the long run to temper both extremes from the start.

Scorpio: Although you may be more positive about where things are going in your life, you aren't ready to let go of all your concerns. You know that your success depends upon moving carefully now; if you proceed too fast, you could jeopardize what you have already gained. Keep your attention focused on the ultimate goal, but watch where you walk as you take one cautious step after another.

Sagittarius: The Moon's return to your sign today reminds you how important your feelings are, even if you sometimes override them when they get in the way of your excitement. Now, however, you cannot avoid your emotions by simply choosing to ignore them. The volatility of your mood swings are a vital indicator of your emotional well-being. Your greatest strength is a deep connection to your heart.

Capricorn: You may feel quite talkative today, yet still want to be left alone. You aren't up for the noise of too much social interaction and would do well to avoid parties and other gatherings of large groups of people. You would do better now in a meaningful one-on-one conversation with someone who seeks you out, rather than trying to be accepted by a club or a clique.

Aquarius: You are buzzing again today, but for different reasons than yesterday. Instead of being drawn to do something new, now you want to be among your peers. You need the support and feedback of your friends and will do what's necessary to feel connected to your tribe. In the meantime, don't forget about your obligations; you don't have to make a bunch of noise or receive tons of attention to get the job done right.

Pisces: Your vision seems to capture the imagination of others now, which can lead you into a position of authority. You aren't necessarily yearning to be the boss, yet you may be among the few who actually know what's going on. So, as a member of the community you cannot say no when asked to assume a leadership role. Step up to the plate and play out your part as the person in charge.
