The pre-show to the full moon echoes the importance of framing. The way we talk about our lives is an act of framing. A choice of frame can either harmonize with the overall picture, enhancing its beauty, or clash with it, detracting from its appeal.

The alignment of the sun and Mercury in presentational Leo points out how a fitting and well-placed frame can elevate the beautiful aspects of our lives to the status of art. ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are two paths -- one bathed in sunlight, promising warmth and familiarity, and the other shrouded in the mysterious light of the moon, beckoning with the allure of the unknown.

Can’t think what the next step should be? Don’t worry -- your feet know. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a heightened energy to your interactions with a certain someone because you like them.

Affectionate vibes always raise the stakes so there’s more of a risk, but the risk is also more worthwhile. Your playfulness wins out. GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Avoid taking things too literally as it will limit your understanding as well as your capacity for emotional connection. Before you consider the words someone is saying, you’re wise to get an overall feel for the intent and go from there. CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The time to look back is when you’re free to make a different kind of decision going forward. If you’re stuck, key into the present. Figure out where you’re pinned and what you might be able to jiggle and leverage to get free.
