The big astrological news centers around Ms. Romance herself, Lady Venus. When she flits out of the friendly realm of Aquarius and into serous Pisces, we go for the heavy stuff. We’ll choose tearjerkers and "important" films, and on a personal level, the quest to deepen our commitment to one another’s well-being is featured.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Small talk interests you not at all. But mastering it is a must if you’re to make the impression you’d like to make on anew circle of friends. Sexy vibes are in the air between you and a person you’re not supposed to be attracted to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Work on salesmanship – this could be the key to drumming up interest in other areas of your life, since you are always having to sell yourself in every endeavor. Try not to judge others harshly tonight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The astro-power is present for pumping up your planning skills and reminding yourself of all those ideas you have tucked away for the right time. Working with a Libra or Pisces can move you from daydream to reality.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is a "go for it" kind of day. Get on the phone – your channel to making money. Being relaxed and certain about your pitch makes a huge difference in your numbers at the end of the day. Extra willpower is featured.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The only way to avoid the drama is to turn off the phone and give your attention to work. If you keep pulling your energy back, by tomorrow night, you’ll have the attitude shift you wanted from your passionate partner.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 27). This year, your passion soars as you enjoy life, using all your senses to the fullest extent. Excitement on the career horizon next month forces you to let go of old fears and reach for knowledge. You’re a magnet for romance in June and will have especially good luck for long-term relationships with a Taurus or Gemini. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 3, 19, 22 and 10.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When the effort you put out just isn’t commensurate with the results, you could decide that being consistent is overrated. Important meetings may be featured: A new hairstyle or odd jewelry piece is a lucky charm.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). You are impulsive and undecided. Don’t talk much about relationships until you feel more certain about your feelings. Getting it off your chest it not a good thing when the things on your chest might be a passing mood.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The vibe between you and an interesting new acquaintance would be hard for most people to read but not you, sensitive Scorpio! Use the information you pick up wit your super-sensors to further your goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Multiple romantic opportunities might be your lucky problem – choosing may not be as fun as you thought it would be. Continue to uphold high standards at work, and you’ll attract help that’s the best and brightest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You feel like promising the world to the one you love, but play it cool, making no commitments. Feeling driven to give all of the time may be a signal that your self-esteem is low. Tonight, loved ones share feelings with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When pals need help, you are able not only to score friendship points but to learn something valuable. Sensual ways to relax are featured tonight. Get those tired muscles some relief, and you’ll ward off sickness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The name of your loved one is whispered in the wind – all you can do is think of this person. There’s fabulous energy for giving yourself to others and appreciating what you get back. Use technology to help your business.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I was born on Sept. 12, 1979. I went to school for broadcast journalism, only to find that whatever I know doesn’t matter because I have no contracts. I don’t know what it is that makes me happy, and I am forcing myself to go to law school only because I have the talent for it and because it puts food on the table. I’m in a sea of confusion. I am intelligent and very hard working, but for some reason, luck has never been on my side. I am broke, unemployed and depressed. What should I do?"

Virgo and Gemini influences in your chart tell me that you are even smarter than you say you are. Jupiter in Leo says you’re also charismatic enough to make it as a broadcast journalism, but your shy personality makes it harder for you to really go for it in that field. Law is definitely better and wide enough a study to encompass what will be your specific niche. Keep an open mind, and don’t go for the most popular ways to apply this degree. Yours will be a very specific area of expertise. Much more than putting bread on the table, it will give you a sense of mastery, contribution and self-esteem.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Feminist movement leader Gloria Steinem founded Ms. Magazine and wrote the best seller "Revolution From Within: A Book of Self-Esteem among numerous other works. (Aries energy is the energy of warriors, and Steinem’s weapon of choice is the written world.) This year, she could do an enlightening work on political and social implication of the current state of female pop stars.
