The Capricorn moon and Venus urge us to give our relationships a thorough audit. Where are you playing small when you know you shouldn’t be? If you’re totally honest, you might see that it’s time to give a project a rest – this boosts your energy for those neglected areas of your personal life. The Pisces sun promises us truths will be revealed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you know what you’re good at, you get off to a running start. Once you beat the competition, you can relax and take a look at your weaknesses. Romance blossoms through casual contact.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Money flows from varied sources – in fact, you just don’t know what the next one will turn out to be. This is only one reason to give excellent service/results/product to your current clients. Take any complaint you hear seriously.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Inspiration comes from the very thing you feel an overwhelming responsibility toward. So if you feel that half the time you’re complaining and the other half the time you’re living a rewarding life, it’s totally natural.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Freedom is your biggest need today. If there’s no time to express yourself by taking part in activities you love, then drop something else, and make time. When pursuing your favorite hobby, you’re relaxed, confident and sexy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just when you think you know what makes the world go ‘round, you’ll find that it’s not so obvious. Financial considerations aren’t everything. Put money in its proper perspective – it’s only money. Children feel misunderstood. Listen.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (February 26). This birthday could be called a "re-birthday" because this year represents a whole new life for you! For the next three weeks, restructure your priorities. Redecorate, reorganize and redesign your operating system! Expand your social circle in June and July. Family influences cause a positive move or change in a love relationship in August. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 17, 40, 46 and 53.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Dynamics on the work front are both complex and weighty. Take a different approach if necessary, but don’t give up! By forming an alliance or joining a group, your power increases. You’ve got special luck with games of chance.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). The feeling that you’re in over your head pervades. It’s true actually, but that’s why you took swimming lessons. On a personal note: Extra attention from a flirtatious love interest sets your heart sailing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Wait until this evening to talk money with your mate. Oddly, the two of you will agree perfectly on financial issues, even if you don’t agree on other things. Singles: What you have in common with an Aquarian makes for mutual gain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s a cheerful, high-energy day. Attention comes your way naturally; you don’t have to work hard for it. Put your requests out to the world. Even if you don’t hear what you’d hoped, you will hear what you needed to hear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s frustrating to sort through a mixed bag of responsibilities when all you want is a schedule that makes you feel at the end of the day that you’ve actually accomplished something. Act on those psychic hunches.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Returning a favor is truly gratifying. You can’t give too much to children and loved ones today either, and you’ll see them blossom under the influence of your TLC. Homeowners tip: Repairs need to be done by a professional.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The pressure is on at work. Make firm judgments. If you hesitate, you lose. A message (perhaps from a Leo) makes it even more clear what you’ve got to do. If you ask pertinent questions, you will get juicy answers.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Gemini who moved to a new city about a year ago, and being a single girl, I really wanted to make some good friends to explore the city with. I met the sweetest Leo chick, and we were fast friends. For the last nine months, we’ve been really close and then suddenly last week she blew up at me over a hairbrush! I think it was really because her boyfriend has been flirting with me (I’ve tried to get him to stop). I miss her! What should I do?"

Geminis and Leos are usually very compatible, but based on your chart, you do have a tendency to overpower Leos. If a Leo is in a superior position to you (as your girlfriend probably felt she was in regard to her boyfriend) and you don’t properly pay this proud lion homage, you are in trouble. If you really want to heal the friendship, don’t tell her directly that you think this break has to do with her boyfriend. Instead, blame it on something else. Leos like your girlfriend are more comfortable with healing their broken egos than with the truth. Wait until the inevitable breakup between your girlfriend and this flirtatious guy, and re-approach her with an offer of friendship a few weeks afterward.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Lili Taylor, of the hit series "Six Feet Under," is a Pisces with a total of four luminaries in the spiritual sign of the fish. This and other indications in her birth chart declare psychic ability, though her moon in Gemini persuades her to make light of this extrasensory knowledge. Pisces energy is conducive to acting ability because it bestows great empathy in its natives, which they can use to relate to many characters.
