The moon takes a trip through Cancer today, which is highly compatible with Pisces’ current solar vibes. Imagination and creativity help make our achievements fulfilling on many planes. Physical and spiritual needs must both be met for us to feel complete; walking away with an undeserved prize holds no appeal. Expect romance to be on an ebb and flow.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Several offers take you by surprise. Consider all the possibilities carefully, but don’t be afraid to be spontaneous. Your travel plans change. Ask for a first date, or plan a romantic rendezvous with someone you’ve known for a long time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Group effort makes a big difference at work, as opposed to your individual endeavors. Everyone is involved in something that’s goal-oriented, and you naturally fall into a leadership role. Give it all you’ve got, then relax.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Work and love intersect beautifully if you don’t take on responsibilities that aren’t yours. You’ll find a new role model. Contact with someone from the past helps calm your restless spirit. You easily attain something you’ve always desired.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). New changes work in your favor so go with it! People will talk about your talent, even if you don’t expose it. Go out on dates, or attend social gatherings when you start feeling the sharp pains of loneliness. You’ll find new pals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Trust your ideas. Finish romantic business with a flourish by tying up the loose ends instead of allowing them to slowly unravel. An effort to correct past errors ensures your future satisfaction. It’s lucky to get your feelings on paper.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 3). Incredible success is this year’s theme. If you can dream it, you can do it! Romantic possibilities will present themselves within the next five weeks. Travel helps make your current partner more interested in starting a family. Your new identity emerges at work, putting you in a league of your own in June. Taurus and Leo would make excellent partners. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 3, 21, 33 and 28.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do everything in your power to make new adjustments run smoothly. Set your plans in motion with practical action. It’s time to open a savings account. Keep your mind fresh by changing your focus tonight, perhaps by reading a book.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your mind dominates your heart. The changes in your llifestyle are due to your strength of character and willingness to grow. You great benefit from something that isn’t accepted as the norm. This will set you apart as an original thinker.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you delegate, you’ll be free to flirt and create an intriguing romantic adventure for yourself. You enjoy entertaining, even if it is on the brink of being dangerous! All work should be put off until you are completely done playing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Set a personal goal; you’ve been neglecting your creative side. Business deals with a family member work best. A new acquaintance has romantic potential. A friend asks to borrow money but won’t be quick to repay you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sensual excitement is featured. Know where you stand with a generous person before you accept a gift. Strive to make things excellent for everyone, but don’t ignore yourself in the process. You must find the perfect balance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you drop the ball for an in stand and lose someone’s interest, you have to wonder how deep his or her attachments really are. Changes in your romantic relationship need to be made, but not yet. Give yourself a timetable for decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Set high standards for yourself. Your enthusiasm to revitalize your "look" is something that’s noticed by everyone. Try not to be a timekeeper on the job today. A family member makes a financial request that is within your ability to deliver.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My brother and I have a business together, and our differences of opinion sometimes cause problems. I’m a Libra, and he’s an Aries."

Chances are, you are both right; and being adept of compromise, you’ll be able to show him that you can handle it his way and your way all at once. Be patient with his risk-taking. It will likely pay off! Remember, taking risks often reap beneficial rewards in the future.

"My Taurus boyfriend is easygoing and gentle most of the time. But a few times (only three times in the two years we have been seeing each other) he’s had a nasty temper and said awful things that I couldn’t even believe were coming out of his mouth. Can I trust him?"

Taurus’ nature is not unpredictable. In fact, it is quite the opposite. When you love a Taurus you learn to predict that they will be even-tempered 95 percent of the time. And the remaining five percent will be that of extreme anger – get out of the way! A self-indulgent temper is an inherent Taurus quality. Luckily, it never lasts for long. Leave when he acts up.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Pisces Glenn Close is no Cruella DeVille in real life. She’s a sensitive and compassionate Pisces with several planets stationed in this responsible sign. Exploring a mean streak is something she reserves for a make-believe set. Pisces is an expert of embracing both the darker and lighter energies of the human psyche, which could account for her convincing performances of personalities so unlike her own.
