The Pisces moon begins our day with emotions tender as a flower bud; serenity and reflection nurture our souls. As the moon shifts into Aries, it’s by processing subtle nuances of feeling that we quite suddenly arrive in a position of emotional strength. Even if we don’t know how we got there, by the end of the day, we find the courage to bloom.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be walking down memory lane, perhaps pointing out the marks that you still wear. Be proud of your scars, both physical and emotional. The wound has healed, and you are tougher and more interesting for the wear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).  Presentations and interviews go off brilliantly. You could hit the jackpot through sales commissions. The chunky awkwardness of new romance is featured tonight. It’s the imperfection that makes it sweet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It makes you feel warm and fuzzy when others notice subtle improvements you’ve made to your appearance. Each compliment fans the flames, inspiring you to reach your goal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it comes to friendships, today you’re as fickle as a fourth grader. It’s suddenly important to fill your social roster with only the hippest activities. In the end, you’ll be happiest with your tried-and-true buddies, though.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A perfect stranger can hook you up with exactly what you’re looking for. New friendships are ignited in the most unassuming of circumstances – standing in line for coffee or sharing an elevator ride.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY  (Feb. 23). You make big goals – only because you have a sneaking suspicion that you’ll achieve them, and you’re right. New friends met in the next three weeks keep you on track. Fabulous travels are featured in September. October is about reviving your sensuality and reigniting the spark of romance. You have a strong connection with Cancer and Leo. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 12, 44, 39 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Give better than the benefit of the doubt – forget about the doubt entirely, and just give the benefit. There’s not a single thing to be gained from skepticism now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Set aside a few moments of meditation – nothing fancy, just sitting and breathing peacefully for 10 minutes. To assist the process, here is a star mantra: “I heal myself and others.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anyone who is a real success has overcome big obstacles. Remember that fact when you‘re looking at the mountain of work that seems to be ahead of you… and this is supposed to be a day off!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may still think about when you were wronged in the past, but you have a choice now about how to proceed. Revenge is like burning down your house to get rid of a rat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Are you still trying to figure out why you don’t have more willpower, discipline or motivation? Consider that you may be aiming for the wrong goal. A worthy goal will pull you toward it like a magnet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A lucky happening may be disguised as a minor misfortune. Be on the lookout for the opportunity in every problem. Tonight, you’re a fountain of gladness. Animals gather around you, and children want to play with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If it’s a weird scene, it invites you to join it. The weirder the better. You could find your next love, a true friend or an employee among a peculiar mix of people. Sagittarius is one of your eccentric lucky charms.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:    “Born on Aug. 7, 1957, I recently crossed a line with a friend born on May 15, 1963. It’s a permanent break, but I may have to interact with this person professionally in the future. I wonder if I should share what I’ve done with a colleague in anticipation of having this situation come out anyway or if I should just let the situation unfold since I’ve already managed to “ruin” things. I’m not proud of myself, and I see the pattern that brings me to this spot. I hope this is the last time I do something  like this. Should I just keep it to myself or say something about it before the other person says something?“

If you’re relatively certain that withholding information about this situation will negatively impact your professional credibility, by all means, tell your colleagues, but only if he or she has an investment in helping you. Otherwise, why empower others with information about your personal life, and the life of this Taurus? Sharing with the wrong person could do more damage than good. And whether or not decide to share, consider keeping Taurus’s best interest in the front of your mind.
