The Leo moon, fueled by fiery skies, helps passions reach record levels. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make the first move, today is definitely the day. Your romantic instincts are right on the mark, so get set and go. Take time out for a Taurus who could use your sage advice. Your newest contacts are also your best ones in business.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your opinion is more valuable because you see the big picture. Help a depressed friend, and the effort will bring you happiness. Tonight, your romantic partner will challenge you to think quickly: Don’t stumble and fall.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Big progress is made by taking one tiny steps toward a new direction. The next few days will have you contemplating your role in the work scene. Pontificating is only helpful if it spurs you to give more to yourself than to others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something about your point of view attracts an exciting new challenge. Take an Aquarius along for the ride. You must be the one to actually close a deal if you want to be the one who benefits from it. Sweet notions will win your heart.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Romantic interludes will end up costing you plenty of money if you’re not a good planner. Though there are many perks about an investment, keep your eye on the bottom line. There is a simply way to express complicated emotions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The best solutions are at your fingertips. Pisces and Scorpio are kindred spirits, and they make perfect party companions. If you want to bring immediate abundance into you realm, you’ve got to take time to meditate on your desires.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 3). This year’s rich with pleasure. Your luck in the next three weeks is uncanny, and you can attract the money you’ve wanted and the love you serve. Next month, strategy counts, as well as your ability to pick your shots. July features a terrific new relationship. In August, your leadership potential will emerge. Your lucky love signs are Gemini and Pisces. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 25, 39, 11 and 34.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Behind-the-scenes information will come to light, producing a startling revelation. Keep controversial information as secret, and you’ll win the alliance of a new friend. Romance is golden when you play hard to get.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Business negotiations may be fast and furious, but don’t let anyone pressure you to sign on the dotted line. There is more time available than you think. Confirm reservations to avoid confusion. Don’t dwell on the past. Look to the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like and trust someone new right off the bat and will be learning plenty from this person. It is not difficult to figure out how to trigger your mate’s insecurities. Be sensitive, or expect an outburst. Everyone wants to share with you tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your confidence before this afternoon will surprise even you. Negotiations will go well, though a romantic sizzle could distract you. Be careful because the boss is watching closely. Love with a Scorpio is not without fireworks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Employers pursue you. Sort out romantic entanglements once and for all. You no longer have the energy to be halfhearted in love. Your earning power is increased when you team up with a business partner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are especially resourceful now, so win people over with your latest ideas. Connecting people with mutually supportive goals will be great for you down the line, even if you can’t see it now. Relieve stress through yoga.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). New alliances and happy times are just around the corner. Someone you respect has excellent advice! Teenagers will inspire adults and vice versa. You’ll meet an individual who’ll have an enormous impact on your life later this year.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a personal trainer born on March 3, 1961. I am going through a slow period. I want things to pick up. What do you advise?"

As a Pisces with your moon in Virgo, your natal sun is opposite Pluto in Virgo. You can be obsessive about work, perhaps exhausting yourself with long-term goals without consciously realizing it. You give, give and give; and yet you isolate yourself when you are hurting. Your Venus in Aries, unfriendly to both Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn, indicates fears about money, which may not be based on your real earning potentials. As shown in your overall chart, you have superior earning ability. You most likely have enough money to live on for a year or so, even if you had no clients for a number of months. Although your load of clients is low for the time being, this is only a test of your faith. It shows the need to slow down enough so you can physically and emotionally regenerate yourself. When your energy comes up again, so will your load of clients. People can sense when you’re burned out or depleted, even from a distance (everyone is connected through the power of the subconscious mind). In the meantime, you might ask yourself when you took your last vacation or did something for the sheer joy of it. You’d be wonderful working with children or giving workshops. By May, you will be back up to speed.

Her take-no-prisoners style is a hallmark of Aries’ self-confidence. A television appearance on a popular late night talk show will turn into an all-out debate between Paglia and the host.
