Why does StarTribune.com look like this?

The moon in the sign of the water bearer has a philanthropic tone. We each have something to offer humanity that is unique and essential. And each individual contribution profoundly affects the evolution of the planet. The Aquarian moon reminds us that it's important to do your own thing and to be tolerant of one another's differences.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everything may be in working order, but it will still benefit you to make a pit stop for the repair and maintenance of your soul. Whatever you feel like you need to lighten your spirits, get it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll go about your activities with a light heart because you have people at home who love you and enjoy your company. Your house will feel especially cozy this evening when you return.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A new love is simply a new person awakening the feeling of love that was already inside you. It's nice to have someone unlock it for you, but not necessary. It was always there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life is not a problem to be solved; it's an experience to be savored. Balancing the sweetness of fun with the saltiness of hard work is challenge, but it can be done. One need only watch you!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will find yourself in the company of people who know you and love you in spite of your quirks. So refrain from spending your energy on improving this or that. See if you can love things as they are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The topic of conversation you choose among friends says a lot about where you and your friends are emotionally. Here's a topic to help you stay positive: What are the three best things that happened to you recently?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The secret to winning this race is knowing how to pace yourself. Pay attention to the internal signals that alert you to when you're starting out too fast or trudging along below your ability.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remember when you used to sit around and wonder what your life would be like? Well, this is it. Give it your approval rating. Things are moving fast now, too, so throw in a twist to keep it interesting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're proud to have all sorts of different kinds of friends. The rabble-rousers help you appreciate the quiet, loyal people in your life. Sunday morning pals are an essential complement to your Saturday night conspirators.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are a few worries in the back of your mind, but you may as well let them go — they are unfounded.

The clouds on the distant horizon aren't coming any closer to you. So warm your face in the sun and feel glad to be alive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A rift that arose out of nowhere needs to be mended. A simple misunderstanding can grow into an irreconcilable difference if neglected, so time is of the essence. Reach out and apologize for your part in it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you want your own fun, you'll have to seek it out consciously. Because the kind of fun that just happens to find you is actually someone else's fun — still good, but not a perfect fit.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22). Your special charisma will be amplified. It benefits you to bring more to the table in relationships and work, and your enhanced offerings will attract major love and success. March brings a whirlwind of publicity. Your stellar reputation brings financial abundance. A family-oriented event is a must-attend in August. Libra and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 21, 50, 32 and 10.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun transits the early stages of Sagittarius, whose symbol is the centaur. As legend has it, the centaurs were an unruly group. Given to wild parties and rowdy fights, the half-man, half-horse crew was the sort your mother wouldn't want you hanging around, even if they could double as fast transportation. Followers of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, the centaurs were creatures of messy excess. But one scholarly, noble centaur changed the perception of the whole species. Chiron was the kind, intelligent healer who was also wise, prescient and somewhat of a guru to the heroes of the time. During this time of year when dangerous excess is so common, a high-minded approach to life will keep us focused on what really matters during the holidays — an appreciative, caring and sharing heart. Wednesday's spiritual Pisces moon presses into Thursday, and grateful prayers will be offered up in thanksgiving. A stressed aspect between Venus and Neptune could cause some tension for women doing an unequal amount of work to make the holidays nice. Appreciation may be delayed. Stay focused on giving for its own sake, and don't expect to be praised.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scarlett Johansson has been starring in productions since she was a young girl, and her first on-screen appearance happened at the age of 10. This independent Sagittarius with her moon and Saturn in sensual Scorpio has the natal chart of a lifelong learner. She will continue to explore and develop her talents in many directions, including music and writing.
