The moon transiting through her native Cancer changes the mood – often and without warning. Think before you speak because loved ones are exceptionally sensitive. The Pisces sun helps out with a dose of intuition – use it to get insight about how others are feeling instead of getting deep into your own emotional state.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
. Plans are changing, but this is only proof that you’re in action. As you gather more information, you realize you must stay fluid, not stuck on having things go your way. Go to seminars, classes and presentations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
If you feel like you are toiling endlessly and nothing is changing, this is probably true. But you’ve also got the key to unlock this cycle. Brainstorm it out. Come from a place of creativity instead of panic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’re on fire with ambition but could benefit from keeping this fact to yourself. If you’re too aggressive, you’ll threaten others around you. Yes, that super-confident boss or colleague is actually scared of you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Much new and weird information is thrown at you, and not all of it is right for your situation. Sift through it. Avoid exotic answers. Success isn’t magical or mysterious. It’s a simple process – not easy but simple.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Some people are content to settle into quietly accepting their meager lot in life. You’re not one of them. Renew your commitment to expand your brainpower. Romance requires follow-through just like business does.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 8).
This is one of your luckiest years to date. That said, it’s hard to define some events as "lucky" when they happen, due to the fact that only time can tell what is good fortune and what is not. This month, surrender your ego and fear of change, and beautiful transformation begins. Love signs are Sagittarius and Taurus. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 13, 21, 47 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People who think romance is something that happens to them are missing out on the opportunity to create a beautiful relationship. For luck, be hyper-aware of the colors, sounds and harmony around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Keep current. News has a bearing on a seemingly small but important decision. Your beliefs seem sensible to you, but when challenged, you may find that you are defending indefensible positions. Lead by example.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
. If it helps you expand your mind, you’re game. You’ll feel like dreaming big, traveling or committing to a new study. It’s fun to have someone supportive by your side to help you face the world, come what may.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The contradictions of life come into sharp focus. It’s not confusing like it used to be. You come face to face with the fact that hard work alone isn’t enough to ensure success. Your love life nestles into a nice groove.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Getting along is key. It’s particularly tricky in love, where heated feelings have caused recent turbulence. Takings things in a different direction allows the other person to get a new perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Discipline is the bridge between thought and accomplishment, and you’ve got plenty of it. The same can’t be said for all the other members of your group, but that’s where you can be of great help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’ll need to push the "reset" button on your internal clock this morning. Slow down! Envision yourself handling things well and doing your best. An air of relaxation helps you accomplish what’s on your list with joy.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:
"My birthday is Feb. 22, 1946. My husband was born March 31, 1946. We have interviewed a housekeeper born April 14, 1962. How would she be as a housekeeper for us? What can you say about how she relates to me? What can you say about how she relates to my husband? Is it possible that we could be good at doing our own housework?"

Your potential housekeeper has a lot of energy and can work hard when she wants to. She can also be distracted easily, so she requires very clear directions. She’s a spiritual person, often superstitious, and will make sure that both the physical and spiritual aspects of your house are in order. Leo influences in her chart make her fiercely loyal. She does need a lot of recognition for her work, however, and will leave the job if she feels taken for granted. She is motivated more by respect than by money. You’ll both relate well to her if you give her the proper respect. As for doing your own housework, it may actually be easier for you to do than managing another person, but you’ll learn more about yourself and build your character by hiring the housekeeper.

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Pisces Erykah Badu is not merely a first-rate singer but a musical personality as well. For Pisces, connecting on a soul-to-soul level is the aim of every artistic endeavor, and this sign will go to great lengths to get that feeling of connection. Badu draws on her ancestry for inspiration and in turn inspires others. This year, Badu could make a foray into another area of art – perhaps sculpture.
