The Aquarius moon livens up the atmosphere with technological diversions, wacky ideas and brilliant ways to cut work time and elongate "recess." So don't stand on the sidelines, get into the Aquarian spirit! Start by using Aquarian phrases, such as, "I wonder what would happen if …" and "Can I try that?" And of course, "Wow!"

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You hear the call of the wild and want to answer. Instead of labeling your impulses freakish, let them out. There's no reason to tame the beast. By expressing yourself, you encourage others to do the same.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It'll be hard to hide what you're feeling, but why would you want to? It's liberating to state it as it is. That doesn't exempt you from being compassionate with your opinions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A group field trip would be nice. Corral the gang into doing something spontaneous and fabulous! The more originality and spice you bring to the vision, the more attractive it becomes to your tribe.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're like a hot kettle in that state right before it squeals with delight. Turn up the heat, and you'll generate amazing creative output. Keep those fires steadily stoked into the evening fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A relationship introduces exciting new options, but if you question the attractiveness of the offer, you may miss it altogether. The logical path is to find out what's in it for you, but follow your gut instinct. Gut wins over logic every time.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 15). This year features the kind of self-discipline everyone else wishes they had — but be flexible, too. Switching gears on a moment's notice brings a financial bonus in April. Invest money back in yourself. Singles find fabulous prospects in June. A career boost in August is due to one innovative move. Taurus and Sagittarius people adore you. Lucky numbers are: 32, 28, 14, 10 and 37.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're like a marathon runner. Timed intervals of activity and breaks are essential. An attitude of forbearance won't help you in the final stretch, but an enthusiastic cheer from your teammates pulls you through the finish!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's not every day that you feel this frisky. And it's not every day that your worshippers are at your beck and call. Take advantage of this special kind of popularity. Credit your charm for all the attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're like an electrical appliance that sometimes shorts, causing little sparks to fly for no apparent reason. There's nothing to fix. A little friction is kind of like a reminder to "look alive!" It clears the system.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know your words pack a punch, but it's just so hard to bite your impulse to speak what you see. MLK Jr. said, "The truth shall set you free," and it will set other people free, too!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Remember Mr. and Ms. Pacman? They were classic '80s consumers, eating energy pellets as fast as possible while outrunning ghosts. Turn around and face the ghosts. It uses up less energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One of your fellow Aquarians has hosted a virtual roller-disco party from India, sending out an Evite to her global friends, asking them to meet her in cyberspace. And you'll have similar genius ideas today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The occasional mistake you make can cause you to want to hide from the world — not a bad idea. Although not always an option, solitude is the interface between mind and spirit.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Virgo, born Aug. 25, 1961. I feel as though I'm spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. I was divorced when my children were young. Since then I stayed in a 10-year relationship much longer than I should have. I had a beautiful business that I had to give up due to a troubled economy. For the past year, I've been seeing a 50-year-old Libra man, born on Oct. 12, who says he loves me. We live an hour apart. We spend almost every weekend together. He's very kind to me, and we have a great time, yet he considers us to be good friends. How far away is true happiness in love and career?"

At this stage, I liken you to Dorothy in her homeland of Kansas. You have to see Oz before you realize that there is indeed "no place like home." You've created a fabulous life for yourself, but you're overly critical of yourself at the same time, and you for some reason refuse to enjoy yourself. Of course you can have more. Up the ante in all areas of your life. Take big risks, like breaking up with your sweet man in order to make him realize what he has in you.
