The new moon resets the lunar cycle, making the days that follow feel like the first days of astral school. We sharpen our pencils, look around for potential friends and quietly decide who we might become this semester of the soul. Today gives extra credit for raising your hand with both questions and answers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're comfortable making choices that might seem unusual to other people because being true to yourself matters more to you than fitting in. Other people's opinions change, and people drift in and out of your life, but you're the one who has to live with yourself every day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Talking with the people you love will feel especially enjoyable. You reply quickly because you care. Like a pro, you keep conversations light, comfortable and positive and avoid topics that could create tension.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your timing is good even when it seems like it's not. Delays protect you while fortunate coincidences speed everything else along. Go forward in full belief that everything is occurring in perfect synchronicity, and you will stop chasing and start attracting.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It seems efficient to hand off the mundane work to someone else while you follow your whim, but that would only slow down your productivity and block your creativity. The daily tasks move your imagination. Your genius is hands-on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). So many items live in your brain, waiting to be born into writing. When you get them down on paper, they start to take on a life of their own. Through writing you will not only get clear, but you will also learn yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're especially persuasive right now. Today shows you reading people with great accuracy, working rooms and leading situations toward the outcome you want. You never push because you don't have to. Charm and emotional intelligence do the work for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You hit a wall between you and where you want to go. But keep looking into it, pushing on it and believing there may be something more here. Seek the hidden door. Curiosity opens social, financial and creative passageways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll find yourself in a caregiving role. It is not possible to give care in one universal way because everyone's needs are different. Also, a person's needs can change by the day or the hour. Read the small signals and anticipate problems.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Is the insect a pest, or is the insect another magnificent earthling? You could go either way, or both ways at once. You appreciate all, but if your territory is invaded, your perception and reactions change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is information you're willing to work for -- to make it your business to know, your quest to discover. Then there's the simple and inconvenient truth that's right in the middle of the path, needing only to be faced.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll tap those puzzle-solving skills today. You may try the same solution repeatedly, just to verify the results. But if it doesn't work after a few tries, you do it differently until you find what clicks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're aware of what's going on, and you think you ought to react, though you may not be sure quite when or how. The takeaway isn't clear. Let feelings settle. You have time on this one.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 15). It's your Year of the Threshold Test, in which the seeker must prove sincerity before entering the sacred realms. Sometimes you'll be the one pursuing with persistence, and sometimes you'll be the gatekeeper. Both scenarios bring powerful and lasting transformation. More highlights: A talent turns commercially viable. Applause and money for your confident performances. All the love you need. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 3, 14 and 41.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Among a multitude of upcoming projects, Neil Patrick Harris will lend his voice to the TV series "The Pigeon Show! Starring the Pigeon." Like a Gemini, the multi-hyphenate star is the biological father of one of his fraternal twin children, and his partner David Burtka is the biological father of the other. Gemini is known for brilliance, wit and versatility, which Harris has shown as a child star, scuba diver, author, magician, advocate for LGBTQ rights and so much more.
