Life gets emotionally intense as the moon moves into moody water sign Pisces. Though Venus in Aries is sexy, physical connections come with a lot of extra baggage. Friendships deepen through compassionate sharing. On a practical note, whatever you’ve got to get in the mail, do it today, not tomorrow when Mercury turns retrograde.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Hammer out a plan to save money for a sprig jaunt. The more people you travel with, the better. You can pull off even the trickiest events if you start preparing now. Tonight, re-evaluate how you appear to the world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Action is the word. Whatever the stimulus, your response is dynamic. Some Taurus people feel litigious and could fantasized about their day in court. Instead, just give the one who wronged you a piece of your mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When do you not feel like you’re pulled in two different directions? Embrace your personal polarity. The stars have truly blessed you this afternoon, not only with undeniable charm but with the perfect person to use it on.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The people you meet inform you of events to come. Reverse the way you have been emotionally dealing with a difficult relationship. A slight change of perspective brings on a positive series of events.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Have your toes been stepped on too many times? Voice your concern to those doing the stepping. A teacher, boss or parent who seems like he or she won’t listen will actually surprise you. Continue organization efforts to the end.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 25). You’ve got amazing willpower this year, and all around you seem to be impressed by your self-control, determination and stamina. Now through the end of May, powerful individuals are watching you. A tired, old romance of last year fizzles out permanently. Singles find love in the next three weeks through friends and fitness programs. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 8, 3, 19 and 53.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). All unhappiness is caused by comparison – and in your case, a little smugness, too. Help out those who just can’t seem to get it right. Promoting benevolence attracts good fortune. A Pisces expands your thinking.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Your interest in things foreign is piqued, but much reading, web browsing and talking should be done before you buy your ticket. A Sagittarian travel companion will guarantee an adventure-filled journey. Put the word out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a real brain today. An invention, idea or creative project could be the bonanza you’ve been seeking. A good feng shui move is to shine up your mailbox, getting it ready to receive those fat checks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The intensity level of a relationship is on the rise after tonight’s playfulness gets certain serious matters out in the open. Speaking your mind is favored, and there is a diplomatic way to do this, though you might not choose it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Understanding the way your mind works is key to understanding the way to a loved one’s mind works – which is why exploration into your own psyche is the best thin you can do for a relationship this weekend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You do all you can for your friends, which is why new people seek you out. A million errands can be finished by lunch. Wear your best wherever you are because the strangest coincidences happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Moneymaking options expand – you’re qualified to do more than you think. Economical factors affect your personal life this weekend. Plan to use creativity instead of money to have the best time possible with those you care about.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: The Taurus sun has a way of removing complications. What feels right probably is. The simple concept of mutual appreciation keeps couples together. With Mars in Aquarius, singles looking for love should concentrate energy on learning, as the mind is the sexiest thing about any attraction now. ARIES: Nostalgia makes you long for past love; luckily, you snap out of it. TAURUS: You can reclaim someone’s favor by coming clean on a small matter. GEMINI: Romantic partners propose mighty plans. CANCER: Faded romance finds a new spark. LEO: Remember details so you don’t let a sweetie down. VIRGO: You fit the bill for someone’s dream date. LIBRA: Lengthy discussions don’t help – shut up and kiss! SCORPIO: When you’re playful, you’re irresistible. SAGITTARIUS: You may be using external aid for an internal wound – start healing by examining your emotional self. CAPRICORN: When you’re playful, you’re irresistible. AQUARIUS: Join forces to accomplish something bigger than you can do alone. Anything is possible. PISCES: A love affair begun this week is very serious.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Aquarius and Virgo have more in common than you might surmise. Sure, incurable Aquarian eccentricities drive the logical Virgo nuts, but their intellectual companionship can be matchless. In addition, the inventiveness of Aquarius is aided greatly by the methodical Virgo, who can often make an Aquarius idea work after the Aquarian has lost interest and started something else.
