As Saturn dials into the boundless Pisces-sun frequency, today it might feel good to simply focus on what’s in front of us. Even if it’s to the exclusion or something else, by virtue of focusing our attention on one thing, we affect everything. Don’t be too quick to judge a roadblock as an obstacle; limits help us define precisely where we are.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The love you find is unique. You’ll never find another one like it. So consider carefully the person who keeps calling you back to his or her heart. Love comes in many forms, and this is one of them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You ask for a second chance, and that’s what you get. Everyone deserves to be redeemed for missteps, and yours is not as massive as you’re built it up to be in your mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re the recipient of lovely attention. Pull your shoulders back, and give them a dose of who you really are. This afternoon, get aggressive about learning. You’re the student who will soon be a teacher.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Go after that thing that makes you want to hide. The more ambitious and brave you are, the more support you’ll gather. Friends you make tonight keep you in mind for future opportunities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s fabulous to see and be seen, but it’s now time to forgo social niceties, buckle down, get to work and make back some of that money you’ve been spending. Earth signs like Capricorn are inspiring mentors.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (February 24). Your faith in what’s good and right is strengthened through the year. Because of your intense belief, a long shot comes through, a miracle materializes and life takes a new trajectory. March is spontaneous and action packed. Changes at work give you the chance to use and develop your talents. Gemini and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 42, 2, 26 and 4.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The urge to act impulsively will be strong but not necessarily wise. Write down your thoughts before acting on them. A Leo or an Aquarius will be a fine sounding board to your inspirations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whether you like it or not, you are very appealing to the opposite sex now. Dare to ask out the one you’ve been flirting with. Tonight, someone is keeping score, country to what this person might say.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Love has a way of bringing out the best and the worst in you now. Romantic hopefuls make a play for your attention. Do the sweet, selfless thing, even though it will probably seem terribly inconvenient.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). On a day as lucky as this one is, it’s a crime to let a dream linger in the ether. Act! Ask for help. Others are not only receptive, they seem to care as much as you do about moving your vision forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t let conflict drag on – it should be easy to solve. Chance is on your side. So the best solution to a problem could very well be a flip of the coin.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It feels so good to contribute to others that you’re not even keeping track of how much you are giving. Be sure to receive graciously, too, or you rob the giver of the wonderful benefits of generosity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Clear you head. Get some distance from stressful scenarios so you can sort through them with greater ease. Humor heals. A movie ticket to the latest comedy is just what the doctor, and the financial adviser, ordered.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun, now passing through mystical Pisces, meets with Saturn in Virgo this week, bringing Piscean flow into focus. Do our lives include spirituality? Where can we best focus our creativity? Because Pisces consciousness encompasses all other 11 signs, we’re cast our nets wide and may end up picking up more information, garbage and people than we know what to do with. Hmmm, did we really need that? To avoid a strange paralysis of will born of overwhelm and TMI, we can enlist the discernment of Virgo, the opposite sign of Pisces, which possesses what the other doesn’t: a more focused net. We may decide to eliminate things in our life that keep up too much space or time, to make room for what’s important. Whereas Pisces, tripping on stars, wonders, “Who needs shoes when we have fairy wings?” Virgo offers, “We all need shoes. Here. They’ll help you walk to work and back.” As the sun’s passage through Pisces renews our souls with spiritual nectar, the music of the spheres, ambrosia from the gods, this week, you can count on Saturn in Virgo’s sage advice, if only to bring you back down to Earth.
