You might not get anything done today, but you’ll be more organized than ever with your to-do list. As the moon journeys through Virgo, it’s clear that a change or two must be made for the sake of making life better. The sun is winding up her visit in Leo, and there’s a feeling in the air that life is shifting and we have to shift along with it. Stay flexible!

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being in a sensitive mood makes you feel more vulnerable than you already are. Steer clear of confrontations this afternoon. Meetings are a success if you speak your mind. A Capricorn or Taurus includes you in his or her plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Higher ups accept excuses, but they will rely on you less in the future, so do all you can to handle your responsibilities. Avoid being upstaged. It’s a good night to wish on a star or buy a lottery ticket. Don’t be too disappointed in the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be strict with guidelines and regulations at work. An argument with a friend can be resolved by approaching him or her with a thoughtful gesture. Allow yourself plenty of time to meet with those who know more than you about your career.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be especially attentive to small details and innuendo, because someone is trying to tell you something. Listen to a child’s complaint. Playing the role of a caring psychologist will do a friend a world of good. You are an amazing listener.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Win your crush over with your sense of humor. Warn a friend about doing anything that will jeopardize his or her future. Whether or not it’s any of your business, you’ll be glad you spoke up. Pay attention to your romantic partner’s mannerisms.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 15). Re-evaluating your life clarifies the past and unlocks your future. Opportunities to improve your financial standing come the first week of November. December brings a move or a chance to invest in a new home. Love encounters prove to be challenging and joyous. Family or property matters bring money in May and July. Your best sign for love is Sagittarius. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 21, 59, 32 and 11.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A voyage into uncharted territory teaches you much about yourself. Discharge debts before running -up your tabs again. It’s lucky to let a friend drag you into a new situation, even if it has the potential to be a big bore.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Friends and advisers have good news. Trust their consul, as your expertise involves making money, not investing it. Volunteer work contributes to both business success and a new attitude toward your home life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mental relaxation is as important to your health as physical fitness. A big favor asked by a friend or family member should be considered carefully; being overgenerous may benefit no one at all. Connect with a teenager.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Thinking that everything is easy only sets you up for a fall. Expect to work, and you’ll be delightfully surprised. Expertise can be gained through research and practice. Authority figures are impressed with your determination.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fantasies of escape run rampant. You may feel like getting into a car and just driving. Only ask of others what you’re willing to do yourself. Emotional wounds are opened once again so that you can learn to take your own side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Strong soul connections with others are sensational. Partners make headway as they plan their lives together. Give a nod of forgiveness for arguments that have cropped up in family relationships. Don’t hold grudges.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Set your own standards and rules to live by. Just because you connect with someone emotionally doesn’t mean this is the love of your life. Try to keep everything in perspective. A period of confusion leads to a revelation.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Do you have any advice or insights about someone with Venus in Leo like me? Please describe my personality."

First of all, your attraction quotient is totally high now, so don’t be surprised if you get a flood of romantic offers in the next few weeks. Venus in Leo promises you have endless resources when it comes to making people notice you! You understand flirting and are a master at all aspects of sexual attraction. You can probably turn your magnetic power on and off, like a light switch. You have excellent style, and might spend way too much money on maintaining it, but it’s worth it. You would do well in a business related to theater arts and glamour. The bad part about this aspect is that you have a tendency toward creating drama in relationship, and will find yourself in situations that could only have been constructed by soap opera writers. You are very generous with money, emotions and affections. You may even give more than you can afford. But you never come out the big loser in the end, because you can always use your experience to enrich your romantic assets. You see relationships as a stage supporting you in your best performance as your most evolved self. When you fall short, don’t let your ego get too bruised. Remember, the show must go on!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Michael Richards is born to act, with his sun in Leo and moon in Pisces. The Pisces moon is an aspect envied among actors because it delivers terrific empathy, and its natives can step into the shows of their characters more easily. Richards could get married to someone he met at a night class this year.
