Under the new moon in Pisces, the sign of spirituality, you might be more in touch with the subtleties of your mood. This extra dose of sensitivity has a different effect on different people. If you’re artistically inclined, you could create brilliant works. If you’re in charge of a group of people, you’ll be more intuitive about how to motivate them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Happiness is experiencing sensual pleasures to their fullest – morning coffee, the crisp air outside, the sound of the jazzy music that’s playing in the grocery store where you choose from a perfectly stacked display of apples.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What works and what doesn’t is simply a mater of opinion. But those opinions are what drive your projects today. Conduct a survey. You’ll be surprised at the wisdom of complete strangers. Tonight, you’ll sing grateful praises.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Variety is your key to happiness. If all you do is pick something different from the lunch menu, you’ll infuse your life with a little more energy. Socially, try and mingle with someone in a different line of work.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even with your pushing, prodding and making requests, a special project lies flat. Work up more enthusiasm, and your spark lights a fire in others. Stepchildren or parents of a new love interest like you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You might be tempted to act out of the need for others to like, promote or acknowledged you. The ones who don’t notice are not bright enough to "get" you, and ultimately, you need to surround yourself with people who do.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 03). This look like a year of surprise wins~! (Of course, your overnight sensation has taken years of hard work.) This moth, it’s clear that an oppressive boss or company will no longer suit your new sensibility, and many Pisces will be finding new jobs by the end of March. April features work-related travel and extra money to invest, perhaps in a home. Your lucky numbers are: 35, 12, 49, 7 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Assumptions about friends are hasty. Hang back, and observe before you form an opinion – and certainly before you share it. Call order relatives tonight. There’s many a good tune played on an old fiddle!

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Let any healthy opposition you’ve encountered spur you to new heights. It isn’t necessary to extend yourself financially for social reasons – you are impressive enough on your own merits. However, money is well-invested in sports.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Friends keep you in mind for a new job or romantic connection. Your reputation for delivering the goods brings profit and positive public relations your way. This evening favors figuring out where you stand financially.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t leave well enough alone. Well enough is actually not early good enough for you! Ferret out mediocrity in your work, play, relationships and home life, and the, figure out a way to change it into excellence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Mental diversions and critical thought are featured. Games and conversations with smart friends are brain expanding, so seek out these kinds of activities and sharpen up. Many will start a course of study or a good read.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are radiant, spreading happiness to even pessimistic souls. Catch up on correspondence. Investigate possible new lines of employment. Powerful people take notice of you when you try to widen your circle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The strong urge to express your feelings means it’s about time you did. I won’t way you’ve got nothing to lose, but aren’t some things worth dumping anyhow? On a brighter note, negotiations with loved ones go extremely well.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "What is my real sign? I was born on July 22, 1984. Some horoscopes say that I’m a Leo, and some say I’m a Cancer. Is this the reason I have a problem with my sexuality? When will my love life bloom?"

Since the sun moves into Leo at a different time each year, there is a slight variation in the date markers different astrologers use in their columns. In your birth year, 1984, the sun entered Leo on the 23rd, so you are officially a Cancer. However, there are many Leo influences in your chart, including Mercury and Venus. I’ll bet you have a strong interest in performing and love the attention you get while entertaining friends. Your emotional moon is in Taurus, a very sensual placement. You would make a fabulous gourmet cook and would be a fine connoisseur of wine, meat and cheese. Also, you have a lovely singing voice. Pursuing interests such as these (to the point of being masterful!) will lead you to a romantic partner who will appreciate your depth and passion for life. By the way, you don’t have a "problem" with your sexuality. You know what you are and what you like. If other people have a problem with it, that’s their problem!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Thora Birch ("American Beauty" and "Ghost World") will shun mainstream movies this year, wishing to align herself with independent directors who will be tomorrow’s bright shining stars but who are today’s strange new talents. Moves made now are crucial to setting herself up as a serious actress. She’ll continue turning down parts that she considers too conformist through December.
