Life has a way of slipping by unless you’re willing to seize your magic moments when they come. The Sagittarius moon urges us to take this one step further. Why wait? Create a life of mythic proportions. Be a legend in your own mind1 worrying about appearing foolish to others should be the last thing on your list.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are plenty of reasons you shouldn’t cut anyone out of your group, your work or your life – just yet. Try not to focus on the negative. Someone young could make a play for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your world could be turned upside down today, illuminating ways to do it better, faster and cheaper. Cut ties, and drop habits that don’t serve you. Past friends may not even recognize you, as you adopt a new attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At work, you’re reminded that self-esteem is more important than the esteem of others. Loving what you do and doing what you love are the way to do both. You have important plans or decisions to make now about commitment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Good vibes are in store for your family. The right amount of attention to this sector of life makes you feel balanced, healthy and creative. Anyone who snakes out of an agreement with you now deserves pity!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ideas about gender come into play. Should the guy watch the kind while the girl goes to work? Whether you go the traditional route or take on something new, there will always be people in your environment who support you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (February 24). Filled with confidence this year, you know you’re enough. Take extra good care of yourself, and the rest takes care of itself. Give money situation the attention it needs by next month. Show off your talent in June, and you could be "discovered." Exciting romance with a Sagittarius or Cancer lights up every other sector of your life, too! Your lucky numbers are: 1, 26, 19, 37 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even when it seems like you’re on top of the world, there’s that one problem lurking in the back of your mind. Instead of doing your best to keep this monster at bay, invite it in for tea. Confrontation can clear the way to peace.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Regarding your team at work: Perfection may be impossible, but don’t put up with less than you deserve. Far-out business ideas are met with approval, so be bold. If you have fresh, bright ideas, you’ll be invited back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Looking for work? You’ll notice that the prospects you come across today are not quite what they were on paper. However, make sure that you are! Resume facts will be checked, so be sure they’re accurate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your personal life is flying high when social responsibility steps in and shakes a finger – some people in the world are really suffering! Peace begins at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pragmatists come over and sit in your section of the world because they need advice they don’t have a filter through their sensibility-o-meter. A loved one needs a direct answer? You’ll get the call.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually, you can handle the hectic times, and your comprehension doesn’t required that everything be in order. Today, you’ll need to drop systems that aren’t working for you. You’ll be treated like royalty tonight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being caught off guard isn’t such a bad thing. The adrenaline rush gives you fuel to kick-start this week into high gear. If you’re responsible for others, they’re really studying you now.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am a Pisces born March 6, 1964. I am ready to move forward following a divorce a year ago after two years of separation. I recently started a new job and wonder what’s in store for me both career wise and romantically."

Looking at your chart, I’m willing to bet you had a big wedding and the support of lots of family and friends. You are not one to give up easily, so saying you’re ready to move on is a big deal. There are two parts of you in constant battle with one another. One is your incredible sensitivity, and the other is your huge thirst for adventure what an interesting personality you are, always throwing yourself into new, strange situations even though you’re scared to death! You’ve have a tendency to go to extremes and for this reason should make sure you’ve got some stabilizing forces always around you. Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo friends are a must! This new job will teach you about a more specific area of expertise that you’re well suited for. You may have to relocate for your next position, which will not only pay better but put your unique talents to use. Love is found in this new city within three months of your move.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Cindy Crawford is a Pisces born under the bright intellectual Aquarian moon. Astrologically, it’s not surprising at all that before she became a model, she earned an academic scholarship to Northwestern University to study chemical engineering. I predict she’ll return to those early interests this year (as many Aquarian women born in ’66 will return to subjects that appealed to them in high school).
