Everything around has the potential to stimulate imagination if you're a dreamer. These are the final hours of the Pisces 2012 sun, and tomorrow will bring a new season. You can take advantage of the spiritually charged atmosphere by remembering to say your prayers or by living as though life itself is a prayer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You like to know that you're improving, and you'll see the tangible evidence of that today. You also welcome the chance to go back and correct yourself — an open attitude that sets you apart from your competition.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be given new assignments and problems to solve. You can feel proud of the trust others put in you. There also is movement in your personal life involving an intriguing love interest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Cookies or fruit? Walk or drive? Say "hi" or avoid contact? The little choices may not seem so important, and yet they add up to how you think, look and feel — not to mention whom you know.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll stand out, and you'll be appreciated. You're popular for one reason now. You actually couldn't care less about what others think of you, and this somehow draws them to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While outside noise is tiring to your mind and body, inside noise is tiring to your soul. Quiet the internal cacophony through meditation, physical exertion or being in nature.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Needing to know everything about how things work could be stunting your progress. Let the experts handle what they are experts at handling. See the big picture. Be the big picture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your desire for yourself doesn't seem to be matching up with the universe's desire for you. But don't take a few instances of difficulty as evidence that you should give up. Step back instead to get a better perspective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may find that you have come to resent something you used to enjoy doing. The energy has simply run its course. Pressing on may do more harm than good. Take a break to avoid total burnout.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll have a daring impulse to pitch an idea or extend an offer. Reach and risk. If you don't get the answer you want, chalk it up to a brilliant experiment in spontaneous living.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are riding the wave that happens when creativity and inspired action come together. Surfing in the flow of life, you'll enjoy a particularly focused form of concentration. You'll act intelligently without thinking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are determined not to make the same mistake you made in the past, and yet you feel yourself drawn inexplicably to a certain habit. Relax and get your head together so you can act from a more centered place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Possessions are still bogging you down. If you had to fit your life into one closet, what would you keep? The answer to that question will help you liberate some dead weight.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 19). The thing that will happen over and over is that you'll keep meeting the right person at the right time. In April, you'll make money because you pay attention to details and keep your eyes peeled and your palms outstretched. Seize an opportunity and believe that you deserve it. In June, you'll join forces with someone who has similar goals. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 25, 31, 27 and 15.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: Dear Holiday: Does psychic work run in your family? Is your mother a psychic?

No, psychic work does not run in my family, and my mother is not a psychic by trade, nor would she claim to have psychic ability. I respectfully disagree with her. For starters, I don't believe I've ever met a mother who wasn't psychically tethered to her child to some degree. And there have been many instances in which my mother demonstrated great insight and had an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time and in possession of information she could not possibly have gathered from the evidence at hand. Is your mother like that, too?

My mother is not a follower of astrology and is not a fan of anything to do with the occult, even if it's in a movie. She shows her great sophistication of mind in supporting me in whatever endeavor I choose, even if it doesn't interest her or she doesn't agree with it. And that is as remarkable a demonstration of a mother's love as any daughter could hope for! Thank you, mommy!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In order to get the independent film "Albert Nobbs" made, Glenn Close chased her passion for playing the character for many years. Having first played the role in the theater in 1982, the Pisces actress wouldn't rest until her goal to see the piece on the big screen came to fruition. Close was born when the sun, Mercury and Mars were in the sensitive, imaginative sign of Pisces.
