The Pisces sun and the Pisces moon are urging us toward showing more compassion. Doing what doesn’t feel natural may be what’s necessary to get the ball rolling toward healing a relationship. It’s easy to stubbornly refuse to make the first gesture, but that does nothing to further your goal of being a more loving person.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Friends have exciting news! Keep it quiet, though. You can feel safe in the knowledge that loved ones adore you and miss you as much as you miss them. Pisces and Virgo have special significance to your love life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s lucky to take a trip down memory lane – Sagittarius and Pisces are wonderful memory ticklers. You could sit for hours together just laughing about everything that happened. Dog owners: Your pet needs exercise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re even more stimulated by your environment than usual, sensitized to its subtle changes. A drive in nature or a walk along a quaint road restores your balance. There’s joy in the glorious details.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Dysfunctional habits no longer serve the purpose they used to. Lose them! Artistic impulses are whimsical, nonsensical and totally delightful. Bold choices may be met with resistance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Plans are quickly disassembled and recreated. Your flexible attitude attracts all kinds of positive energy. After all, if you can be comfortable in a number of different situations, it means that you are ultimately comfortable with you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 25). You have an astounding sense of cosmic direction this year – you’re certain of what you want, and you get it. The help of family in April results in a windfall. Take on more responsibility than you dole out, and you’ll soon be a major player at work. Why would you settle for less? Lucky love signs are Scorpio and Leo. Marriage in August is favored. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 45, 36 and 31.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your terrific intuition will continue to point your energy in the right direction. Start creating a team around you so that you can get more work accomplished. A Pisces will help you formulate a winning strategy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Building your collection is lucky. You delight in pulling together a motley group. Something that doesn’t look like much on its own suddenly takes on new vitality when assembled with the others – sort of like human beings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your vision for your life is something you don’t think about every day, yet every day, it has an impact on your life. Indulge yourself in a nice, long daydream. It motivates you to be very productive all afternoon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). At work, you’ll get sincere compliments. Be gutsy, and ask for criticism, too. It’s the only way you can get better. Meet a financial obligation this afternoon to avoid late fees. Contribute to friendship with a distant pal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s all about perspective today. When Joni Mitchell wrote, "We are stardust, we are golden…" she wasn’t kidding. Scientists agree that we are made from matter that was forged in the heart of a distant star.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll realize how many abundant resources are available to you. Utilizing relationships is the fastest way to get from Point A to Point B. New ties are created with careful attention to communication.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll find it a challenge to think as big as you should. This is because survival instincts are going strong today. Forget what you need, and think only about what you aspire to. Desire is the key ingredient to attaining results!

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m an Aquarius who was passed over for a promotion. How can I tell if I’m in the right career that will bring me happiness, respect and financial rewards?"

Many Aquarius natives have been let down by employers who promised something that they either can’t really do or don’t really want to do. It’s possible that you’ve let your health deteriorate because of work pressures or time constraints. If you can deal with these issues by the end of the spring, new confidence and self-esteem will be evident to current and potential employers. Additionally, look at a former hobby or interest that you’ve let fall by the wayside as one of the clues to a satisfying career.

"I’m a Virgo who has lately gone unrecognized at work. I deserve much more respect, but I’m not going to beg for it. When is the firm going to notice all I’ve done?"

Although uncomfortable seeking attention, sometimes proud Virgos like you expect others to offer rewards without prompting. Don’t be afraid to blow your own horn. You do it so infrequently that when you do, people listen.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: It’s good to be queen. Queen Latifah, that is. The first lady of rap and now a movie star as well, she appeared in the smash sequel "Barbershop 2: Back in Business" earlier this year. She also has plans to produce several films. Piscean energy goes where intuition leads. This sign is expert at exploring success in one area at a time while waiting for the right moment to bring everything together.
