March 27, 2004

Welcome to spring 2004. This is an extremely lucky day of renewal. Throughout history, the four days a year that signify the change of the season have been honored by many cultures. This year, this special time of new birth is made even more significant by the new moon in Aries! Dare to redefine yourself from this moment forward.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a chance to correct mistakes. Tonight shows you absolutely enchanting everyone around – provided you think through what you want to say in advance. Couples make it official, and singles hook up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Friends you’ve fallen out of touch with may be able to help your career. Make some phone calls. They’ll be happy to hear from you. Warning to those playing the romantic field: Dual love relationships sap your energy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your agenda is carried out pretty much as planned, but events that occur while you’re at a party or on a date will be surprising! Dress right, and be ready to meet interesting people. A Scorpio metaphorically leads you to water – drink!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Political happenings are featured. You’re adept at playing situations to your favor. Cheerfulness and pleasant manners will be just the tonic that heals a strained relationship. An Aquarius reminds you that the best is yet to come.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You start out with a strict schedule, but it all gets messed up. Perhaps guests drop by and it’s impossible not to accommodate them. It winds up being a pretty good day anyhow. Your life is colorful and full, just the way you like it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 27). The success you experience this year will be transforming – or more likely, the diligent work you put in to get there is the reason. You’re admired, and knowing this keeps you to your own high standards. Romance shifts in June. You want the mushy stuff and get it. The month ends with committed love. Cancer and Virgo are stellar partners. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 43, 25, 39 and 30.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Compromise is key. If you are part of a couple, avoid issuing ultimatums. The more you can roll with things, the better your reputation becomes. Tonight, choose what is health over what is cheap.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This day is great if you take time planning it out. Before you walk into a room, think of what your purpose is. Don’t blow time in small talk while you could be selling an idea or inspiring the team to greater productivity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve got standards to uphold. Refuse to submit work of inferior quality. You know you’re in love when you voluntarily take up a partner’s fight that really has nothing to do with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you’ve carefully built your schedule so that you can do everything on your list, the unexpected will interrupt your flow. There’s an internal battle featured tonight. Sagittarius, it’s futile to fight yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When resources are tight, you get resourceful. After all, your mind reels with ideas all the time. Put it to the task of figuring out how to solve the shortage. You can count on Cancer to tell you the truth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll run into a situation where someone who is "just doing his job" has an impact on your life. Singles: Brushing up on musical or artistic talents is very lucky for your love life. Couples: Less structure is more fun this weekend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Read up! In books and magazines, you’ll find expert opinions backed by countless hours of research at your fingertips! It’s like you’re channeling ideas from the best and brightest to help make your life interesting.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a male, born March 16, 1943. She was born Feb. 26, 1960. The first nine months for me were blissful. After that, it was downhill. She met my Taurus friend through me, and the two of them developed a relationship and left me out in the cold. I still love this woman and guess I will always love her. I just need to move on, and I am having trouble doing so. Help!"

I think you’re infatuated with her because your friend stole her away. I’d be willing to bet that you "love" your Pisces woman much more now than you did when you were together. I don’t think you mistreated her – in fact, quite the opposite. She’s on the bossy side, always striving to get ahead in life, and you took good care of her needs. You’re better off without her, and your friend is the one you should feel sorry for. She’s a wise Pisces like you, yes, but other aspects in her chart show that she still has much to learn about sharing instead of using people. Give her up right now. The spring equinox and the lucky new moon in Aries today will end this cycle of puppy love, and you can find something more mature and fulfilling.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Though the sun is in Aries today, in 1958, it was still in Pisces on the 20th of March, so Holly Hunter is a Pisces. After turning down the lead role in the Coen brothers’ movie "Blood Simple," Hunter introduced Joel and Ethan to her then-roommate, Frances McDormand. Pisces intuition is sharp in distinguishing between a good opportunity for oneself and a great opportunity for someone else.
