ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your tendency toward idealism will be shaken up a practical earth sign in your midst (Taurus, Capricorn of Virgo) who will want all progress to be absolutely tangible. Special efforts made by loved ones should be applauded.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The big lessons of the day are patience and perseverance. Of course, you’d rather be learning lessons like how to spend all the money that seems to fall down from the sky wherever you walk.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Productivity ebbs and flows. A Mary Poppins moment this afternoon is somewhere along the lines of the spoon full of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Give that tedious task a fun new name, and attack it afresh.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it comes to judging another person’s character, or building your own, it’s consistency that counts. Financial issues arise in the afternoon, especially between partners who are still learning to trust one another.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If things are not going right, you’ve got everything you need to recognize the problem early on and do what you have to in order to reverse the trend. Romantic issues are a mix of pleasure and pain.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 07). This year, everyone wants what you’ve got – all you have to do is show your stuff and bask in the attention that follows. Extend yourself this month and next, when your personal power is high, and you’ll star incredible momentum toward your goals. Next month is filled with romance; your best signs for long-lasting love are Libra and Capricorn. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 21, 5, 39 and 6.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The popularity sector of your chart lights up with activity. Your cell phone might be clogged with messages of support, all of which will be a pleasure to return. It strikes you that kindness is a powerful force.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). The condition of your spirit and mind is tiptop. Working side by side with people you admire gives you the turbo boost you need to finish the job at hand. But what about the very personal project you promised to yourself?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A difference of opinions could come between friends, but it’s nothing serious. Helping someone take care of his or her own problem sis far more admirable than going out of your way to "fix" things.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are extremely resourceful; fid inspiration within yourself instead of asking for help when you don’t really need it. Family or company gratitude to you translates into big responsibility further down the line.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The political aspects around you become clear. Someone is protecting you behind the scenes, and you might not be aware of the support. This is a payback for your adamant support of principled people you believed in.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It might be smarter and very possible to advance your position by making no change at all. In all personal matters, actions speak louder than words (no mater how eloquent you may be after 4 p.m.).
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are magical discovering to be made in the written word. Carve out a block of time, and read, read, read. A relationship begins to fall into a comfortable groove, which should set off an alarm in your head. Avoid old patterns.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Pisces and have been involved for three years with a Cancer man who has alternately brought laughter and chaos to my life, my emotions and my finances. We are currently ending our relationships – mostly because e wants out, but my inner voice has been screaming at me to get rid of him for some time now. He is lying and manipulative, and that makes it easier. However, I feel like I’ve known him before. Should I try to make things right somehow so I don’t have to repeat this experience again (in this life or the next?)"
Many Pisces like yourself believe in past lives and are always careful to think about the possible spiritual consequences of action taken on this plane. That you might have wronged this man is an admirable consideration on your part and one that deserves an honest look. But the bigger question is how you’ve wronged yourself by giving your power to such a loser. The only way not to repeat this cycle is to figure out why you started it in the first place and then never do it again. There is no mystical reason you should continue to subject yourself to the pain he provides you.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Pisces Glenn Close has a natal chart rich in dichotomy. Pisces intensify and Aquarian intellect are featured, and it’s indicated that often her emotions belie her amazing facility for logic. When not acting, she could make leaps and bounds in studies such as quantum physics, religious science and social science. Her grasp of higher learning is so complete, she could even give lectures on these topics.
