As the moon transits through Sagittarius, a little bit of energy will go a long way. Suddenly, everyone wants to travel in the name of spontaneity and adventure. A far-fetched idea could become a reality, so be especially careful what you wish for. Appreciate what you have. The grass is not greener on the other side, though it certainly appears to be.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Compromise is key; you’ll have to give up on doing things your way and depend on others’ talents. It won’t be so hard to do. Shopping is lucky for the good of your companions. But high-quality originals; don’t settle for cheap imitations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If it’s too much trouble to undertake a certain task, it’s probably not the right one to tackle. There’s nothing wrong with taking the easy route. You’ll finally find the money you lost. Take the lead at a meeting, since you are most qualified.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make some pretty rebellious decisions. It’s all part of the way you have fun. As a project reaches completion, your energy level will skyrocket. Your brilliant logic leaves your opponent or significant other with no room to argue.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be tempted to take many different directions, but stay on the path that leads directly to your goal. Attribute a recent victory to solid preparation. Don’t slack off now, when it matters most. Your sweetie will support and admire your choices.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Get a clear perspective, and align your priorities with what really matters – it’s much easier said than done. Take nothing personally, and try not to read too much into what your boss says. You’ll be plenty of food and laughs tonight.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 5). It’s a year when you focus your talents on one goal and receive fantastic results. An old flame will return, and family reunions will be filled with luck in May. A whirlwind romance in the middle of June may make you feel irresistible. Run, don’t walk, to spend money on equipment that could change your life. Costly professional help and advice will pay for itself immediately. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 22 , 6 and 38,

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Concentrate some energy on community services. You can contribute something to the world in your own small way. Besides, money and possessions do you no good unless you have love in your heart. Stay positive

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take full advantage of your public popularity today. The time you spend on a moneymaking idea will move it along considerably. Try not to put limits on yourself. You’re blessed with luck. Be creative – life lets you do what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s OK to be the center of attention. It’s your turn to be in the spotlight anyway. Practical duties may seem more important than they really are. Just be as economical as you can about purchases. It’s impossible to retrieve wasted time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t take someone’s decision to be alone personally – everyone needs space now and then. Friends may ask you to spend money, but you don’t need to prove yourself in that way. Keep a date casual this evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Concentrate on organization. A little planning will go a long way. Profits might arrive in the form of reimbursements or notification of false charges. The solutions to your love problems will be easy to find. They are right in front of you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). With a healthy body and mind, you can accomplish anything. You’re better off not speculating on a risky deal. Friends may introduce you to that elite social circle. Impress others by remembering their names. They’ll remember yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Bad decisions will be reversed in time. You deserve unconditional love, so remind yourself of that. Your home needs attention; beautiful surroundings offer peace of mind. Show respect if you want to get it at the same time.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I was born on Jan. 21, 1963, and I haven’t found someone to love and marry yet. I thought I was close, but found out my engagement was off when I received his marriage announcement in the email. He married someone else! I’ve been unlucky my whole life. I live at home with my elderly, sick parents, and I am trying to get a horse business off the ground. My chances for having children of my own diminishes each month, and I’m faced with going through life alone. Will my luck change soon?"

Yes, dear Aquarius. All you need is patience and perseverance. No wonder you are so frustrated and discouraged. Your chart suggests a strong need for adventure and friends – to areas of life that you’ve been deprived of one way or another. This has stunted your personal growth. Get an objective party to help you figure out a way to fix your current situation. Even if you only leave home for three days at a time for mini-adventures, you need to get away and explore new surroundings. Change your living condition, and move out if possible. Your future looks bright: It includes a fresh start with an old friend, freedom from family guilt, and yes, love. Good luck, and start making changes now!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Pisceans like Tony Randall could win a Tony award next year. If he does exactly what producers beg him to do, which is a Broadway play, he might just earn that Tony. Pisces is a lucky sign for actors, and Randall is as fine a thespian as they come. With lucky Jupiter in Leo, the more he craves attention, the more he’ll get it.
