The moon approaches Venus, Jupiter and Mars, greeting each in a different mood: The love goddess receives a bouquet, lucky Jupiter a challenge, and Mars the warrior a peace treaty. The stars pose the question: How far would you go to keep harmony alive? Would you trade personal gain to further the cause of peace?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your niche interest is more relatable than you think, but people just don’t totally know about it or understand it yet. You’ll build the bridge in the way you approach the conversation — informative and passionate. People will want to know more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Here comes a wave of confidence. It’s not because someone makes you feel like a star. No, your confidence is born of simply knowing yourself, what you do best, what you need and what you can deliver like no one else.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll swing like a pendulum between two good options. And if you don’t grab one or the other, you’ll end up in a solitary middle zone, which is not a bad place to be either, so you really can’t lose today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Relationships teach you what no formal training ever could. An experience with someone shifts how you see yourself and the world, unlocking instincts and wisdom that change how you move through everything that follows.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll accept a responsibility, and it will feel like coming home — no awkwardness, just following your natural inclinations and getting things done. It’s almost like you’ve been in this role before.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A simple favor snowballs into something more delightful than you planned. Helping opens a window, and in comes a rush of fresh energy, new introductions and a sense that life really is conspiring on your behalf.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s purpose in going off-purpose today, or perhaps not having one at all. To be guided by instinct is to have the best guide there is today, and you’ll follow your whimsy to exactly what you most need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Love is accompanying someone through their personal metamorphoses — honoring each version without trying to drag them back to a past self. You will continually meet your love where they are, not where they used to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Instead of imagining what could go wrong, your brain starts paying attention to what’s happening right now. You’ll break work into microtasks, and ticking off the first one can make you feel calmer and more in control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can like who you are and still want to change, maybe just for the adventure of it. You needn’t feel like you’re stuck in being any certain way. Identity is a city you can redesign and rebuild to your heart’s content.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing,” advised Ben Franklin. Today you’ll do both. You’ll make stories happen, whether with daring action or a turn of phrase.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re sharp and playful today, and the ones who are game will notice the gleam in your eye and lean in, ready for whatever you say next. The moment to pitch, persuade or plant an idea is right now.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 9). Welcome to a Year of Golden Exchange. You’ll be paid well for exactly the kind of care you’re most inclined to give. You’ll encourage the discouraged, see the unseen, energize the inert, and reclaim the appreciation you so generously give. More highlights: A long-delayed personal wish comes true. Physical vitality grows through a new practice. You find time for a trip that feeds your spirit. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 30, 28, 15 and 6.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Adam Sandler is born in the sign of the ever young and continues to deliver proof in projects that show him hardly aged between, say “Happy Gilmore” and “Happy Gilmore 2.” Sandler has the sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Pluto all in this diligent, perfectionistic Virgo, and career-oriented Mars is in Leo, the sign of entertainment. Look for him in the upcoming Noah Baumbach film, “Jay Kelly,” with costars George Clooney, Laura Dern and Greta Gerwig.
