Love has rules. But they are highly subjective. In one era, a kiss could be cause for marriage or a fair reason for execution. In another era, a kiss is given freely in a booth with a line. While the rules of love change, what endures today will be the meaning we choose to give them in the moment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Who owns a thing? The one who paid for it? Who uses it the most? The one who maintains it or loves it the most? Expect conflicting opinions, and perhaps there's some sorting to do on the matter today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remembering to read the room before you engage it in any way will be the difference that allows you to make sales, win friends or turn strangers into fans. Take your time to observe individuals and assess the collective energy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just when you think life is pretty good, it gets better. You've gotten in the habit of doubling down on your blessings. You feed your better angels and they flutter around you, dusting a bit of heaven over everything you do.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A new project is as juicy as an apple. And just like an apple, it will be better to devour it in one sitting. Whatever you leave for later will brown and be far less appealing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know what matters, and that's why you don't waste time fussing over what doesn't. Your time and attention is precious, and you'll figure out just how to apply it to the best effect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It would be boring to be good at everything right away. The learning curve is part of the ride. When you experience a bit of awkwardness, give yourself credit for having the courage and character it takes to grow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's an opening just waiting for the right person to step in: you. You're not a perfect fit. If you were, the experience would lose all appeal. You'll grow into this one after you have the boldness to claim it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today shows a self-directed side of you. You do what you want to serve the purposes of your choosing, fulfilled according to your own criteria. Outside opinions will mean very little, if anything, to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Would you rather manage something you don't understand or understand something you can't manage? Today you won't have it all, but you'll have the patience you need to handle the scene and nudge it toward a better future dynamic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're ready to make changes, and help will come from many places. Why choose one? Why not try several and see what you think? Different modalities inform your journey, including mystical, psychological, physical and financial.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are people you report to, but are they really the boss of you? Get clear about your own power and autonomy. It's not something to hand over to someone just because they have a certain title.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Achievement comes with a prize, but it's not the top prize -- not by far. You really are better off setting your mind on the learning process. It will bring you a rich array of benefits, a feeling of being in (and of) the flow of things.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 28). Welcome to your Year of the Thrilling Escape in which a fantasy becomes very much alive, offering you exciting experiences interspersed throughout your usual routines. More highlights: An educated guess pays off. Magic early days of a relationship and fruitful maturity. Work goes in a direction you weren't expecting, engaging more of your talent and serving your spirit of adventure. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 3, 7, 18 and 20.
