The Aquarius moon gives a delicious upbeat feel to the day’s events. Even if you are hard at work, the jovial exchanges zinging around make it seem like a party or friendly gathering. But Aries ambition must be reckoned with, so don’t take the laidback attitude that seems to prevail as an invitation to completely blow off the task at hand.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Conversation has the effect of broadening your view of the world – and then, of course, you go about your business doing the exact thing you would have done had you gotten no opinions at all. Virgo influence helps you save.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one who changes h is or her mind all the time will finally come to a decision that sticks. This has a chain reaction. Suddenly, things that were stalled are moving around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The urge to get close to one who doesn’t want to be gotten close to is overwhelming – and destructive. Why make yourself feel bad? Resist any action that might make you seem immature – like impulsive e-mails, notes or calls.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s no good reason to run your life the way others tell you to. Take the path of the eccentric, and delight yourself at how well things turn out. Getting the home in order seems to take all of your time and energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve got that imperceptible something people are attracted to, and today, they’ll come out of the woodwork to brush elbows with you. Keep in touch with your social network – don’t let anyone fall through the cracks.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 28). This year, your life changes for the better because you deal with deep-rooted issues. Next month, unexpected travel puts money in your pocket because you bring your special service or product to a new group of people Singles make a special connection in the next four weeks (best signs for new relationships are Sagittarius and Leo). Your lucky numbers are: 6, 33, 21, 10 and 8.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel like a million bucks when you look like it. A hundred small details are all it takes to make a good impression. You’ve got 98 of them covered, so handle the other two this afternoon. Call someone you think might be hurting.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). You’ve got energy and daring ü– a lucky combo. Pressure on the job creates friction, but it’s what’s needed to get the truth out in the open. Widen the circle of business contacts by attending a social function.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An extensive effort will be necessary in order to get all completed, and you may put in late hours, but what you’ve got on the front burner has potential to add a big feather to your cap. Be thankful for blunt criticism.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You charm whomever you need to charm. Have confidence in your ability. Exciting negotiations come to a close. You can relax in the knowledge that efforts are appreciated and ideas are valued.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So much effort is required to get projects underway that you may have some trouble keeping up the rest of your life, especially the day-to-day stuff. If you don’t have an assistant, you’ll be thinking about getting one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Re-evaluate goals now. Don’t model yourself after those who are caught up in the trappings of success. Misunderstandings involving money are cleared up and dismissed. An educated someone lets you in on trade secrets.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It seems the world has conspired to keep you from your No. 1 goal. None of it is personal, but with so many people around you wanting different things, your own agenda gets lost in the stampede if you let it.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: With love planet Venus now coasting through probing, passionate, sentimental Pisces, our romantic needs seem to change on a daily basis. We want something meaningful, deep and important – but this means something different to everyone. ARIES: You’ll be running from whoever tries to pin you down, but Sunday will brig a pause as you reconsider. TAURUS: You’ll accept a proposal. GEMINI: You’re the one who ends the game playing in a relationship. CANCER: Ask direct questions, and you’ll get direct answers. LEO: Make a list of what you expect from a love, but don’t share the info. VIRGO: Go the extra mile for someone who needs this – even if you don’t know that person well. LIBRA: You might find yourself in love by Sunday afternoon. SCORPIO: Dare to let someone else lead – you’ll love where he or she takes you. SAGITTARIUS: If looking for love, you find it where people are buying and selling something. CAPRICORN: Not getting what you want is a blessing, and by Sunday, you’ll know why! AQUARIUS: Your attitude is totally sexy. Believe in yourself, and ask out that Gemini or Pisces. PISCES: A change in your appearance attracts new interest.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Pisces are two water signs with much in common, including a sixth sense about what the other finds irresistibly sexy. Both enjoy the pleasures of a respectable home, a supportive family and friends. Together they make an enviable couple, always putting up a stylish front. Behind closed doors, they may be critical of one another but can usually work out differences.
