You may find yourself saying what you didn’t think you had the courage to say when Mercury (communication) makes a dynamic shift in angle with Saturn (hard lessons) today. Once you’ve expressed your true feelings, you’ll be tempted to worry about the effect this confrontation will have. Instead, detach yourself from its consequences. The truth comes out.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The more reasonable risks you take, the more options you’ll have. You’ll have luck with networks, groups and organizations. You may be giving a "stressful" matter more significant than it deserves. Talk about life with a wise friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll receive money from big sales commissions. You are most productive when you work alone. Romance will heat up with one-on-one time. Confrontations can be healthy if it will help the truth come out. Let your sibling win this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An intellectual challenge will help you strengthen your powers of concentration. Take your time with an important decision. Correct actions/answers will get rave reviews and fast responses. Your individuality is attractive to the opposite sex.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You communicate with more clarity now that you are sure about what you want. Resolve any discrepancies in paperwork. Bargains won’t be bargains if you are buying what you don’t need. Get rid of junk in your home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s productive to read, surf the Net and watch TV. If you are not well-informed, you’ll lose money. You may have to become the "squeaky wheel" because your superiors an/or relatives will be too busy to be sensitive.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 26). It’s a record year for good fortune. Beware of the mind-body connection this spring; focusing on physical fitness and your spiritual well-being. Cash from a family member will generate even more cash when you go with your instincts in financial matters. Your passion is what attracts a romance, but your dedication to family is what keeps this love interesting. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 11, 34, 35 and 39.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You could uncover profound truths by giving dreams and waking consciousness equal footing. Finish current projects before committing to new ones. Tonight, you’ll regain lost energy and a positive outlook. Don’t dwell on your mistakes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Challenge yourself to adhere to a budget; you can do it and still be satisfied with your purchases. Reorganizing your priorities is necessary. Don’t be flattered by someone’s compliments. He or she is actually scheming against you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A new love potential is trying to get your attention, but you may be too involved involving a misunderstanding in business matters. Important new associations do come first! Save the flirting for later. Save money and quit worrying.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Get the to-do list over with, and eat right, too. Tomorrow will be the day when you’ll meet destiny in the form of a new project. Money tip: Reconstruct a tired concept, and make it better than it’s ever been before.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t need to ask, just do things your way. Saving money is serious business, true, but you can loosen the reigns a bit when it comes to buying special-occasion gifts. You’ll soon see an improvement in your cash flow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Special moments of solitude will put you back in touch with your highest ideals and deepest attachments. If you don’t have time, make time. Allow for plenty of sleep, took, because dreams, daydreams and idle notions will bring luck.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Getting fit is one way to acquire superconfidence. Motivate those around you with your good humor and high energy. Team projects and an environment full of camaraderie will bring out the best in you through the weeks ahead.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My sister, a Libra, told me that I can’t be fully trusted because I am a Gemini, and all of the ‘dual signs’ are two-faced. Is that true?"

Your sister might be surprised to know that Libra is also considered a "dual sign," as well as Gemini, Pisces and Cancer. But being a dual sign doesn’t mean you are two-faced or a liar. It simply means that your sign is known to have two distinct personality facet, or can be more ambiguous than most when it comes to decision-making. This is not a negative quality. Imagine mild-mannered Clark Kent leaping from the telephone booth as Superman. That is the essence of these signs. They are sometimes called "twin signs" and are symbolized by symmetrical but opposite forces. Gemini is the most obvious: two human twins. The Pisces symbol is two fish swimming in opposite directions. Libra is the two-sided scale, each side equidistant and perfectly balanced. Cancer is often considered a twin sign because the crab, being almost perfectly symmetrical, can scurry in any direction with the same agility. Twin signs are usual pensive, careful decision-makers. They are known for spontaneity in relationships and love to keep their partners guessing their real identity.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Holly Hunter is another Pisces actor who displays the brilliant gifts of her sign: empathy and compassion. Mercury in Aries promises she doesn’t have a problem saying exactly what’s on her mind, which is what will make her not only a fabulous actor but an astounding director in years to come. Mercury in Aries is the consummate risk-taker, and Hunter will go all out when she makes her directorial debut.
