The water-on-water Scorpio moon and Pisces sun combination is like a trip to the cosmic day spa, rejuvenating and cleansing. Feeling the full force of our feelings nurtures our creativity and our spirits. If you’re undergoing emotional exfoliation one moment and are in transcendent bliss the next, you’ve experienced the healing power of water.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s not always so comfortable to be reminded of your good qualities. Receiving compliments with grace takes practice, and you’ll get several chances to hone the social skill this afternoon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re like time – you wait for no man. You’re too busy marching forward and forging opportunities where there previously were none. Your colleagues benefit from the trail you blaze. March on!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your opinions (and you have many of them now) can help others – but only certain very receptive people. Give when it’s asked of you, and if it’s not asked, hold back until people are ready to listen.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To have discerning tastes is to understand what puts the “lux” in “luxury.” There is happiness in seeking what is beautiful to the nose, tasty on the lips and delicate to the touch.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Got pets? If not, today’s compassionate stars could prompt you to open your home to someone from another species. If you’re already a pet owner, the critters will rule your schedule now.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 25). You’re prolific and will fill the world with your works this year. Who you align yourself with is the single most contributing factor to what you experience through the next 10 weeks. So stand with the big winners. Travel in June is thrilling. Career goals are met in September. Your heart is full of love in the new year. Sagittarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 20, 15, 17 and 28.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If the task set before you is one you’ve repeated dozens of times before, your boredom factor hits a new high. So change it up. A Sagittarius has fabulous ideas to contribute.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You usually live by the rule, “If you can’t say something nice, don‘t say anything at all.” However, today, what your friends really want from you is the truth without the pretty gloss.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The omens urge you to follow the music of your gypsy soul, especially if it moves you to cross a border or two. When you do, you put yourself in the path of romance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No more fussing over meaningless details – people’s feelings are what you put first. And when you do, suddenly, anything that was confusing or tedious is effortless.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Show a supportive someone your recent work or share an idea you’ve been mulling over lately. You’ll be validated if you needed to be (and really, who doesn’t?).

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s time to get tough on yourself and knock down an obstacle invented by you. This kind of obstacle is the hardest to knock down, but it won’t hurt when you crash into it since it is only an illusion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Put off a decision until you’re feeling more sure of it. Chances are, you’re the only one putting pressure on yourself. Free yourself. Maybe it’s OK if you never come to a conclusion on this one.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:    “I was born on March 21, 1979. I am a doctor (general physician), and these past few months, I’ve been having a problem deciding my next step: Should I go into residency training here in the Philippines, or go abroad? I feel like there‘s a wall in front of me, and I’m not sure where to go. Do the movements of the planets have anything to do with this?“

You’re having your Saturn return, explaining that up-against-the-wall feeling, though also symbolizing a new choice to be made and a new beginning. Making a decision about where to go next is never easy, and this time in your life is a true rite of passage, one in which you’ll earn your place in the world by choosing a direction with full knowledge that you will need to take responsibility for your choice. Sound big? It is! But even what appears to be the most permanent decision can be undone. The trick of mastering Saturn is not freezing in fear. Keep moving. Make a choice, and if that doesn’t work out, make a new one. That’s all any of us ever do!
