Scorpio's Mystery Moon

A degree of moodiness is to be expected as the moon glows sultry in an emotional water sign, and the business between Mars and Pluto further deepens the serious tone. The third-quarter Scorpio moon favors shadows and fog for the mysterious drama they provide — and also for the cover. What's unseen and unknown is usually more interesting.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you were on a top-secret mission, would you tell anyone? Could you keep it from even your nearest and dearest? Today your discretion will be tested and trusted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some have commented — in wondrous, complimentary tones — that they don't know how anyone can do what you do. And yet, you still aspire to so much more. You'll find their support motivating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships have just the right amount of tension to make them exciting — maybe even electrifying. Bonus: A lull in your work scene allows you to focus on your personal life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is no time to let the committee decide what you or anyone else will do next. An individual with experience, ideas and a defined style will lead the way to success. It's likely that leader is you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Proper attention to detail makes your work remarkable, your friendships fun and your love connections tight. However, focusing too small has the opposite effect. Ride the middle ground.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you continue to take on work that is below your abilities, you'll stagnate. But right now, the easy work will suit your life just fine. It gives you a chance to focus on other things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One way to never be disappointed again is to stop expecting things. Unfortunately, that's also a way to make sure the people you know behave according to the lowest belief of their abilities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Arrive early. It's amazing what a 15-minute head start will do for your confidence. You'll feel like you're on the inside — up to speed and ready for whatever develops.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're ready to step up your game, and the opportunity comes this afternoon. Your reputation for excellence exists in part because you show enthusiasm for what you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Passion is self-serving by nature. But the outcroppings of passion often help many people. By yielding to desire, you put energy and excitement into an otherwise dull scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Working alone will put you in a down position. You will struggle to keep up with those who share ideas. By inviting more minds to collaborate on your work, you'll quickly refine, simplify and improve it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're up for a search, and you have a talent for this. You'll have to sift through a lot of muck in order to get to the good stuff, and this makes the treasure you find even more valuable.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 29). There's much to celebrate, including your thriving health and a love most fulfilling. Tread carefully in your professional decisions over the next three weeks because they will have long-term ramifications. The end of April brings a bonus. May puts a creative spin on your lifestyle. Wedding bells ring in June. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 2, 39, 49 and 6

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Love is an adventure. You have a better time of it when you don't expect it to be all good times. TAURUS: You'll be seen in winning company, and this amps up your appeal. GEMINI: New shoes may make you feel better about your image, but nothing beats new confidence — the kind you wear when you don't care who approves. CANCER: An overly sensitive ego is a drain. Practice self-protection to keep your energy strong. LEO: You'll ask astute questions and learn interesting things about people. VIRGO: You have a wide range of choices as to the company you'll keep. You may surprise yourself with your own preferences. LIBRA: A G-rated relationship gets boring for you, and this weekend you'll be ready to make it more personal. SCORPIO: Social awkwardness is something everyone experiences from time to time. Shared awkwardness is a bonding agent. SAGITTARIUS: In order to make your intentions known, you must first know what they are yourself. Do you? CAPRICORN: Your likes and dislikes will change with this weekend's experiences. AQUARIUS: What you think is harmless flirting could nonetheless make someone jealous. PISCES: When you're sure, you'll go wholly forward. Until then, they'll have to wait.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius and Aries are fire signs that take a "no guts, no glory" approach to life. The weekend will provide ample opportunity for risk taking, and with the sun in Aries and the moon in Sagittarius, these two are extra lucky if they take on those risks hand in hand. It's hard to say which will be the best part: sharing the danger or sharing the reward.
