Happy birthday. Excitement will build over the next two months to an epic event in November. Next month you'll solve a financial problem once and for all. October opens a new chapter in your love life. The children in your family make you proud in January. Explore new talents in April -- you're a natural.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You'll figure out your mental process and offer yourself some compassion based on what you learn. You're the one determining how you'll feel and how you'll deal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Just because someone influential pops onto the scene doesn't mean you're supposed to follow them. Try to trace which thought led to which reaction.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): If you spend the entire day in research mode, it will be worth your while in the end. The quality of your work will depend on the information you gather before you begin. This will all lead to a rather unexpected conclusion.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You'll be fishing for something. Don't cast a wide net -- it's too much trouble, and you'll have no use for all the random fish you'll catch. Use the right lure to catch the fish you want.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You believe you've been made stronger by the wounds of your past. Be careful not to let this harden your heart to those who are not as strong and are still struggling to make sense of it all. They need your compassion.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Big decisions should be made with a clear head and a good night's sleep. You'll probably decide the same thing that you would have on a tired whim, but you'll feel better about your choice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You have a childlike capacity for joy today, and you will spread it indiscriminately. Because of this, those in dire need of a lift will receive it. Your accidental heroism could save a life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Certain loved ones seem to need saving on a regular basis. You've come to the rescue before, and you don't mind doing it again, but is this a habit you should be supporting?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Where is a relationship going? Keep chasing and see. Pacing yourself will be a challenge. How fast would you go if you knew this was a marathon and not a sprint?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Solve the disabling problem at hand. Use a crutch if you have to. It's better to get assistance than to be held in thrall to free-floating angst. By the afternoon you'll have regained your bearings and reclaimed your purpose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Variety makes a relationship beautiful. Different tones and hues are needed. Take out your metaphoric set of colored pencils and fill in the bland parts.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There's a certain idea or person you can't seem to strike from your mind today. If you can't get over it, go deeper into it. Trust that your mind has a good reason for the persistent focus.
