The unrestrained Aries moon comes tearing in with all kinds of wild impulses. Aries thinks anything is possible, and so the world starts to look that way. Those who thought they’d never love again fall right in. Cynics buy improbable news, children spout wisdom, and broke folks get paid. Pluto continues through his important transition.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Take a break from all twosomes, and do things on your own. You expect to be instantly good at everything, but creative talent must be nurtured and challenged. Improving skills adds to financial power.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Brilliant strategy will impress everyone and land you exactly where you want to be. Join or apply for club membership, where you will certainly find true love. Clear up bill paying before a shopping trip.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be riding high on the spirit of adventure. Bonding with other people who aren’t afraid of the unknown is lucky. Greater determination is needed in order to succeed at an athletic or mental competition.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You lead the way, but others come through with incredible additions. Be sure to acknowledge everyone who contributes to your cause. You have major influence and could be a real heartbreaker if you are not careful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Put financial and business affairs on automatic pilot today, and concentrate instead of the personal. Getting fit is one way to acquire super-confidence. You’ll motivate those around you with your high energy.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 31). Very special love and togetherness are featured for you this year. Work on building trust. May brings the enjoyment of new opportunity. June is profitable because you finally ask for what you are due. Unexpected windfalls appear in July, when an entrepreneurial spirit follows your every move. Best signs for romance are Gemini and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 23, 27, 41 and 30.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Reordering your priorities is necessary. You don’t need to ask – just do things your way. Challenge yourself to adhere to a budget; you can do it and still be satisfied with your purchases. You’ll soon see an improvement in cash flow.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Saving is serious business, true, but you can loosen the reins a bit when it comes to buying special-occasion gifts. Keep your wits about you with a loved one who likes to see you off balance; there is much to gain.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You could uncover profound truths by giving dreams and waking consciousness equal footing. Finish current projects before committing to new ones. Tonight, you’ll regain lost energy and positive outlook.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the spotlight swings to you (and it will!), share with a normally shy friend. You have no idea the impact of your generous moves, and besides, there’s plenty of room for all. Reach out to the wisdom of a wiser mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You expertly draw from obscure resources to pull plans together. That’s how you get a reputation for being a genius. Avoid love triangles at all costs. A romantic night is enhanced by fine food and witty friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Dump tiresome obligations, and go off in a new direction. Self-confidence convinces everyone around you that your ideas are winning ones. Consider going into business for yourself before accepting a new position at work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A family project requires even more organization than a work project. Resist the temptation to play this morning – finish an assignment, and then live it up in style. A loved one makes changes to please you.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Libra with an Aries moon born Oct. 17, 1948. My Aura Splash is blue, green, orange, brown and yellow. With such a good birth date and color layout, why is everything in such a mess? Someone has plagiarized and come out with a copycat version of my book. My favorite Siamese cat (and best friend) passed away. I thought I really had a good thing going according to the stars.

So what you’re telling me is that you believe some people are immune to the hard knocks of life? That for some lucky people, cats never die and ideas never get stolen? Would you really wish those impervious stars on anyone when you think about it? Our pain defines us, our limitations challenge us to go on anyway, and our losses remind us what we have left to live for. What kind of life would it be and what kind of person would you be if nothing bad ever happened? As far as your book goes, I don’t recommend suing anyone. Enroll in a writing class that will provide a supportive environment, and get started on your next book. You could make your own big sale in July of 2004. Get busy!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Steven Tyler couldn’t fulfill a requests to be the King of Orpheus for Mardi Gras this year due to other contractual obligations, but he could make it up to fans next year by not only doing the appearance but agreeing to be set up on a blind date with one lucky admirer. Tyler is a playful Aries whose fiery passion both on stage and off is legendary. He could follow his daughter’s lead and do a small film role.
