Cat Scratch Moon by Holiday Mathis

hhd@get.creators.com (Holiday Mathis)

This Leo moon gets notice as it passes through the zodiac with claws out, stinging Mercury, Uranus and the sun with its swipe. As it goes with playful kittens and big lions alike, it’s hard to judge the intention. What goes as play can hurt a lot, and if there’s something actually intended to wound, it rarely lands wrong with cats.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There comes a point in every commitment when the newness has worn off and the grind begins. Stop and take a walk up the proverbial mountain so you can look down on this with the benefit of a sky-high perspective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve been through challenges that other people can relate to. You’ll notice a recurring theme here. You’ve dared to want more for yourself than was offered. Keep believing you can have that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Ask a direct question, and then let silence be your friend. When you don’t prejudge or put words in the other person’s mouth, you’ll learn something surprising and useful.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Nothing works with all of the people all of the time. But you’ll learn a few techniques for dealing with people that work with most, especially with traffic. Try something over and over until it becomes natural.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When we believe a thing, it seems like a fact, and when we disbelieve, we assume it’s a theory or an opinion. Your golden move today will be in being slow to decide what you believe. Let all the ideas entertain you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want to be very aware of your feelings, especially when you’re having a good time. So you prefer to keep a clear head, free of distraction or anything that might dull your senses to the full effect of life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve an unconventional approach to a very conventional activity. This will be a fun thing to share with others, and you could even become very well-known for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll give of yourself, and your kindness will elevate anything you add it to. Add it to words to make confidence. Add it to moments to make profound memories.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes knowing the theory behind a thing can help you learn it more or less completely. But mostly, experience is the best teacher. It puts things not only into your mind but also into your being.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll show up today in a way you can be proud of later when you’re telling the story. These are, after all, notable times. The way you play it will go down in the history books.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Real-life situations can echo digital ones in that a login is often required to get to the good offerings. In today’s case, setting up an account is more a matter of checking all the boxes that tend to the other person’s needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no point to interacting on autopilot. Fresh topics, interesting questions and receptive, curious interactions will cause the spark that leads to exciting relationships.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 30). There’s no reason to fret about the right move, because it’s the right reason that matters most. As long as your intention is clear and pure, you’re brilliant. Common-sense moves will be lucrative. Resist spending until and unless you’re sure. Someone falls in love with you when you’re unaware and not self-conscious. Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 47, 9, 13 and 22.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: Here is more on yesterday’s question from a Capricorn reader concerned with how and what to reveal in early dates. “I haven’t settled on a good pattern for letting people get to know me,” the reader said. “I don’t know which version of my story to tell.”

In the very early stages of getting to know a person, the vibes matter more than the actual facts. Since you’re looking for a confluence of interests, it’s more important to talk about where you are in life and what you’re interested in than where you’ve been. One easy story to master about yourself is simply the one about what you like.

For instance: “The first time I heard an electric guitar, it was in the garage of my sister’s boyfriend. The sound blew my mind. From then on, mastering different sounds on the guitar has been one of my favorite things to do. Also, I go to a lot of concerts.”

“My dad worked in a bakery when I was kid, and I loved when he’d bring the fresh bread home. It’s just something that brings me comfort now, and I love to try new recipes. Do you cook?”

These breezy stories tell a lot without saying much. But the most important part is how the other person reacts and whether you feel acknowledged and engaged by the reaction. More on Saturday!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Kirsten Dunst entered show business at age 3 and developed a lifelong mutual love affair with film. Whether she’s playing a vampire, a princess or a superhero’s love interest, this Venus-ruled beauty captivates with a commanding presence. Dunst will star in “The Power of the Dog,” based on the novel by Thomas Savage. She was born with the sun and Mercury in Taurus, and a moon in Leo, the sign of show business.
