The Aquarius moon makes sure imagination helps us transform ordinary circumstances into extraordinary personal breakthroughs. Sparks of ingenuiaty and competition are featured – partners can experience another range of emotions when they pit their talents or wit against each other. Taking short trips for the sake of getting out could revitalize your energy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everything will roll your way in the morning because you have the gift of gab. Sweet talk your way into a peachy situation, and you might just walk away with a pot of gold. Someone who never listens will finally hear you this afternoon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can have what you want later – it’s time to relax now. Exhausting your reserves will get you nowhere. Solidify your love relationship, and raise your tolerance level. Someone close could use a helping hand. Your luck is great.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your energy is high. Give everyone a chance to add to the fun. Your reputation precedes you this week, so make the right decisions. Sharing too much information with family members may put you at a disadvantage. Hold your tongue.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). One good move builds on the last, so devise a plan today, and take action tomorrow. Take creative risks, and breakthroughs will be just around the corner. Have more faith in yourself. Someone near is tired of being "just friends."

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22). A friendship may challenge and motivate you. Although complications could raise, you’ll jump over them with ease if you take responsibility for your actions. You’ll meet like minds and decent people at a church or community function.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 7). Your personal magnetism is at an all-time high this year. Approach a longtime project from a new angle, and by August, you’ll have the desired result. Business enterprises could pay off big in May. All that’s required is your persistent effort. Mystery and intrigue will visit your relationships in July. Make a long-term commitment to someone you met last summer. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 21, 22, 30 and 42.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have the power to get rid of your own burdens. Break down a big goal into tiny ones. Your popularity with the opposite sex is incredibly high. Public speaking is exceptionally lucky. It will bring you prestige in the long-run.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will notice your cheerfulness and good nature, especially if the vibes around you are negative. Some people have a delayed response to your requests, which is nothing to take personally. Just wait; big money will be yours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Promote deep connections tonight with open communication. Express your desires, instead of holding in your feelings. Your need for independence is understandable. Tackle a big project – you’ll gain confidence in yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are charming and energetic, so make the most of any opportunity to advance yourself. Someone dear cannot complete what he or she started – this is a chance for you to shine. Hunt for bargains, and you’ll save a bundle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You deserve to be happy. Set goals you never imagined were possible. Get ahead with housework now to avoid falling behind for the rest of the week. People you meet at a social function will be vital to your career future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If people make unreasonable demands on you, just ignore them. Check your inner voice to find out what is and isn’t OK to do in business. The choice that seems to be the most fun will turn out to be the most lucrative one, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone will verbally express what you’ve been feeling privately for a long time now. It’s time to make a change. One proactive gesture will put you on the right track. Don’t look back; keep your eyes ahead of you at all times.

ASTROLOGICAL FEATURE: Spring love is in the air. So what are you going to do about it? If you are a cardinal sign, it means the sun passes through your realm during the first month of your season of birth. Your energy tends to come in exciting bursts. You’re a strong starter, and you respond to the fresh air and new birth season of spring with optimism and willingness to put yourself out there in a big way. If you’re a Capricorn or Cancer singleton, your tendency now will be to find the love of your life, bond quickly and perhaps decide to marry by the time July comes around. Giving yourself over to the wave of passion is absolutely the only way you’re going to find out if this romance is really for the long haul. Don’t pay any attention to friends who tell you, "Be careful," "Guard your heart" or "Don’t get hurt." What do they know? As for Aries and Libra singles, you feel as if you have the energy to date a lot, so why not? It seems like playing the field gives you that detached perspective, which makes it easy for you to be yourself and not put too much hope into any one relationship. Freedom feels so fabulous – you won’t want to give it up. The more you engage your autonomous side, the more attractive you’ll be to potential love partners.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Few actors are as versatile and passionate as fiery Gary Oldman. It doesn’t hurt that his sun, moon and Mercury are in fearless Aries. His chart shows he could be hired by an agency outside the realm of entertainment to do some serious "acting" work in real life, since he is a master of disguise. Will he be an international spy? Stranger things have happened in Hollywood. Don’t be surprised if this becomes a reality.
