Last Day for Venus in Aries

This is your last chance to take advantage of the fiery energy of Venus in Aries, the sign of initiation, newness and beginner's luck. If there's someone you want to know better, ask now while the energy is impulsive, passionate and assertive. Tomorrow, a new cycle in the realm of romance begins: cooler, measured and grounded.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's an important interaction happening — at least it's important to you. You have ideas about what may come of this. You'd be wise to narrow your focus ahead of time by choosing one goal for your conversation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be inspired by those who carry large burdens and still choose to reach beyond themselves and focus on a bigger picture. What you might not see is that their strength comes from getting involved with people like you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You've seen this dynamic before. The powers that be are dead wrong, and the village idiot is actually the wisest person in town. Today, there's something deeply satisfying about the turnaround.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You unfold daily in new and surprising ways. It's a fact. The one who sees it this way is living in the truth and is your love. The one who doesn't is, in short, not for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whatever your age, the other ages you have been are still inside of you. That's what gives you compassion and patience for those who are irritatingly younger than you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This is the right time for a navigational check. Can you find your current position on the map of your life? Knowing where you are in relation to your goals will renew your sense of purpose.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The rule of the cool is: Never hurry. This sometimes goes against the primal fight-or-flight instinct, which you may notice today. Stay super-cool. Resist the immediate urge to run.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The principles other generations used to get through life remain relevant, and yet you will find today that you need a completely different set of tools in order to tackle modern problems.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Is the world ready for your brand-new solution? Or do they even notice the problems like you do? There is only one good way to predict what happens next: Make it happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The gifts of the day satisfy your curiosity and bring unexpected amusements.

In the evening, you'll be inspired to pay it forward, delighting others with all you've learned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are up to something. There are many variables that will play into this, so it is wise to take small steps and pause to evaluate after each one along the way. You'll slowly build on what you learn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Certain things will seem harder or take longer to accomplish than you would like now. This is exactly the kind of thing you need in order to develop patience and a generally easy-going attitude.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 14). Challenging things look easy to you because you are filled with boldness. And while you accomplish big feats in the next six weeks, you must be careful not to take on so much at once that life becomes joyless. June's support, friendship and fun will keep you motivated. Financial backing comes in August. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 12, 4 and 23.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The Aries rule comes to a close this week, as the sun's rays extend to Taurus on Friday. Ladies first, though. Venus slips into Taurus on Monday, making certain that the bullish accommodations are fit for the solar king.

After traveling in Aries these past few weeks, Venus was used to being bold, impulsive and sometimes too feisty for her own good. If you had trouble getting along with loved ones while Venus was in Aries, the sign of the warrior, this week's change should be a welcome shift that adds reasonableness and a sensual and grounded energy to the love scene.

Taurus also introduces a factor into the cosmic conversation that Venus in Aries liked to gloss over, and that is the financial balance of relationships. Efforts that you might not have thought of in financial terms seem to come with obvious price tags. Everything has a cost, and Venus in Taurus wants to know upfront: How much?

The sun in Taurus on Friday whets our appetites for quality and luxury. It also toys with our sense of necessity. Only the truly wise understand how little is really necessary.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: "Little Miss Sunshine" star Abigail Breslin is bridging into adulthood with a full schedule of movie projects in the upcoming year, including the star-studded John Wells film "August: Osage County." The fiery Aries will hold her own among megastars like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. Breslin's natal sun, Mars and Saturn in Aries spells fearless.
