Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Under the Aquarian moon, the luck of the Irish will center around socializing, being zany and sharing germs of ideas. During the last few days of the Pisces sun, intuitive urges are strong and may point you toward developing a relationship with someone new. Friendly connections made now could turn to love later.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). That light inside you has turned up the wattage, so expect some attention. Sure, you don’t look like you used to, but being comfortable with who you are now will make you the most attractive you have ever been in your whole life!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ask for an outside view of your performance at work so that you know exactly what you are doing. One opinion isn’t necessarily correct, so get two. Tonight, a mellow attitude makes someone wonder what you’re thinking. Don’t tell!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Give your instincts a workout. When you don’t know which way to go, come up with an intuitive opinion, whether you feel that you genuinely have one or not. Tonight, you’re in for flirty fun tonight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Language barriers are not only between people who come from different parts of the world. Emotions sometimes don’t translate into words as nicely as one would like. Use your compassion to decode a message.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a way of bringing the whole room up with your energy. Work your magic in the boardroom, at the job site or in the cafeteria. The everyday locations deserve your best just as much as the special places you go.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 24). Explore your unique style this year. Knowing yourself well will help you win people over in April. June brings money and travel – even a road trip will satisfy your hefty need for adventure. Educational endeavors are lucky in the summer, especially if you are sure to include some seemingly frivolous studies. Gemini and Scorpio love suits you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 22, 54 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Distraction is the enemy. Anything you do to numb yourself is best avoided. Pay attention to your inklings. They lead you in business, help you interact successfully with family and show you how you can feel the most fulfilled.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). New and improved regimens bear a striking resemblance to the old ones. That’s because you’re cycling ideas you explored before. If you can adopt someone else’s thinking for a minute, you’re wiser for the consideration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is no easy way to win – but if there were, you wouldn’t get that fabulous rush you get from winning! Advice for a troubled work situation: Just let go of your need to figure everything out. Travel improves a love relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You might consider someone a bully at first, but if you get to know him or her, you’ll find simply a person who is doing the best he or she can under the given circumstances. You’ve been through emotional thunderstorms.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is a flurry of activity, and none of it seems to be about you. Giving of yourself feels so good, you might get caught in a habit of never receiving – and that’s bad. Practice loving what you get, as well as loving what you give.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you’ve had enough, you can feel it in every fiber of your being. So why is it that you keep getting in over your head? It could be an addiction to adrenaline! Tonight, the desire to get in front of the group is strong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In love, easier is not necessarily better; challenge is satisfying. You find out what you are made of when pressed to the limit. Don’t back down too fast. Business that has the family touch is lucky. Call your mom.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My date of birth is Jan. 10, 1941. I was widowed eight years ago. I’m not afraid of being alone, but gosh, is it too late and impossible to find companionship again? I miss the sweetness of love. What and whom should I be seeking? Is that Virgo who is younger than me the handsomest man walking the Earth?"

Don’t be ridiculous! Of course it’s not too late nor is it impossible to find sweet love again! And Capricorn women are famous for keeping their good looks as the years tick on – just look at one of your sign mates, Faye Dunaway. Being two earth signs, you and your Virgo prospect are very compatible, and your age won’t be an issue – IF you’re taking fantastic care of yourself. Virgo is extremely visual and very health conscious. A healthy 60-year-old would be much sexier to him than, for instance, a 45-year-old woman who smokes too much or doesn’t eat right. Give yourself a good pampering, and start thinking of yourself as a sensual creature again! I predict you’ll be dating three different men over the next two years until you settle on a handsome, longtime mate.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: After leaving "The West Wing" last year, Rob Lowe has taken some time to try out other TV options. This year, he’ll appear in the TV version of Stephen King’s vampire thriller "Salem’s Lot." When Pisces are working on a master plan, especially career-oriented ones, they can be disheartened by small setbacks and want to throw it all away. The big picture works for Pisces only as much as they have faith in it.
