New Moon Open Casting Call by Holiday Mathis

hhd@get.creators.com (Holiday Mathis)

To paraphrase the Bard, all the world is a stage, and we are merely players. Shakespeare goes on to say that each of us, over time, will play many parts. The sun and moon in theatrical Leo brings role reversals and changes. Don’t wait for a director to cast you. Fortune favors those who grab the costume they want and take the stage.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do not doubt that you can go beyond your previous limits. “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” — St. Francis of Assisi

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s easier to forgive an enemy than it is to let someone close to you off the hook. Do both. No one is ever so free as they are when they are free of resentment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Inside every long-term, mutually caring relationship, a little impatience must fall. How these less-than-ideal moments get handled can be defining in the relationship. It’s an opportunity for grace and resilience.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Questions will lead you down a path. Don’t be overly eager to get to the answer. Answers may be briefly satisfying, but once they come, the journey is over.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are needed, and it’s wonderful to feel like your help makes a difference. Accept help when it is offered and you’ll allow someone else to feel this wonderful feeling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If today were an orchestration, your contribution would be along the lines of a bassoon part, which is to say essential although low-key and not in the least bit self-serious.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those who care to show you part of the world you wouldn’t otherwise know are giving you love in a very useful form. You’ll soon enjoy paying this forward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You rely on those you love, and you like that they rely on you, but if you didn’t have one another, you’d each stand up just fine on your own. The leaning you do is a dance, more artful than it is necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People have different capacities for understanding and processing one another. Be patient with this. Communication is trickier and more nuanced than usual today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Cause and effect isn’t always obvious or timely. Some of what you are experiencing today is part of a cycle that began at least a decade ago. It makes you think about what you’re starting right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s the simple decisions — the yes/no/stay/go variety — that will make the biggest difference in how things develop from here. Don’t know what you’re doing? Just say yes, then. You’ll learn as you go.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you give of yourself without pretense or agenda, your honest and pure attention is a precious gift. Pay attention to who appreciates that.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18). You’re not one to take a risk just for the thrill of it, but you’ll risk quite a lot for the results and people you deem worthy, and that’s precisely what makes this year stellar. You’ll go all in, and not only will it be enormously satisfying in the moment; you’ll look back in pride and astonishment at who you are and all that unfolds. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 10, 4, 18 and 12.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “My family is horrible at gifts. Sometimes, they cheap out. Sometimes, they buy things at the last minute that are so wrong for me that I can’t believe my eyes. Once, they got me concert tickets to a band in a genre of music I do not like and have never liked. Once my mom got me a mat to do situps on. I’ve never expressed an interest in doing situps. Baffling! Judging from the gifts they give me, they don’t know me at all. I’d rather they don’t give me anything at all. I’m a Leo, and my 30th birthday is coming up. How can I keep them from ruining it?”

At 30, you’ve been an adult nearly as long as you’ve been a child. In theory, you could travel to a remote island with a friend for your birthday and leave the kinfolk to celebrate you from a distance. Then again, you’re a Leo. You’re always a child at heart, and one who longs to be seen at that. So tell your family, in no uncertain terms, what you want. You don’t have to be engaged to register at a department store or online. This is what Amazon wish lists were made for!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Sundance Institute founder and movie star extraordinaire Robert Redford was born when the sun was in the last degrees of Leo and passionate Mars was also in this chivalrous part of the sky. The strongest force in his natal chart, though, is Virgo: The Moon, Mercury, Venus and Neptune are all stationed in that down-to-earth, detail-oriented, nurturing and hard-working sign.
