Today's harvest full moon plays with our minds as the evening's moon illusion hangs extra low in the night sky. Pisces energies are resonant with our intuitive insights, suggesting that the answers we seek may come in the form of premonitions, hunches or dreams. This year's harvest is the wealth of spiritual consciousness — available right now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may have signed up for a little too much, but you're rising to the occasion. It is possible to cultivate naive enthusiasm, and you should definitely try. All you have to do is ignore your inner cynic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Nothing seems too remarkable about a circumstance that will endear itself to your heart. The moment will be unforgettable for reasons you don't understand. It will all make sense in retrospect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you've been wondering when you'll meet that life-changing person, today offers the best chance of the month. Get out and be friendly. Someone has been waiting to meet you, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your moods are difficult for a loved one to read. You might be smiling and talking casually about your day when inwardly you're stressing about something. Confide in a supportive friend or write in your journal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An investment is dubious. Get into the details and poke around a bit. You may or may not find out what's wrong with the deal, but you'll firm up your decision to find an arrangement that feels better to you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (SEPTEMBER 15). If you feel like you've been pushing a boulder uphill, this year will come as a welcome reprieve — it's time to coast! Over the next 10 weeks, opportunities for leisure are plentiful. Guilt-free relaxation leads to a tremendously productive winter. Love sparkles in December. Finances surge in February. Taurus and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 29, 44 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are so many distractions that it's hard to remember what the main event is supposed to be. Give your attention sparingly. Allow others to handle their own situation while you stick to yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Not everyone is going to love the way you do things. You could find out about a review that's less than favorable. It helps to remember the ones who are wild about you — they are the ones that matter most, anyhow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though it's important to have good information, know that even straight facts can be misleading. Instead, use your emotional center as your compass. Do what feels right and you'll wind up in the perfect place for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Dare to delve into that mysterious stack of papers. Therein lies many missing bits of information that will make your life easier once found. You have the wherewithal to process heaps of things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your friends may not lend the assistance or attention you were expecting, but they still give something. You can accept the gestures you're given knowing that others really are doing their best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Honesty is virtue, but so is minding one's own business. You'll be walking a fine line. Knowing when to tell the truth and when to be silent makes you a social genius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone you made friends with long ago could act in a way that causes you to question the relationship. Most issues you encounter can be worked through, but you have to ask yourself, is it worth it?

THE EGYPTIAN ZODIAC: Astrology goes way back, the first horoscope wheel dating to ancient Egypt. It was also the Egyptians who originated the practice of "daily horoscopes" in their own news papyrus (paper). However, there were several key differences in horoscope readers and horoscopes then and now. Ancient Egyptians always followed the astrologer's advice! This probably stemmed from the fact that all astrologers were priests, so horoscopes were regarded as divine directives. Also, Egyptian astrology followed a special calendar, not as astronomical. Sun-sign astrology as we know it only evolved after Romans expanded in scientific knowledge. Finally, only pharaohs had personal access to astrologers. Subsequently, democratic Rome was responsible for making astrology accessible to all. Wonder what would your ancient horoscope look like? Upon opening the morning edition of your local papyrus you'd discover several things: if the day is very favorable, favorable, adverse or very adverse; a myth surrounding the day, and finally advice. An actual horoscope in a current Egyptian newspaper reads like this: day: very unfavorable. Today was the day that the offering to Sobek was taken away. Do not eat fish. More on the Egyptian zodiac tomorrow.
