The moon transiting from Pisces to Aries signifies a new chapter in your emotional life. It's a small, subtle and gentle change from the last lunar cycle to this one, but it's a change, nonetheless. Anyway, the most profound changes occur with similar consistency over time, like the tide on the beach wearing down the rocks into fine sand.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your curiosity is piqued. There are just as many interesting subjects around you as there were yesterday, but because your mind is so open, it's a whole new, fascinating world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As far as you're concerned, you're engaged in the passionate pursuit of your goals and ideals. Although to others you might look a lot like a person sitting on a couch. They just don't know what's going on inside your head!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're the maker of your own rules and not someone who can be bossed around. Although, that might not stop someone from trying now. It's just that you're so attractive, everyone wants to get into your business.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're in the mood to add some glitz and glamour to your scene. You love your old friends, though you might dip your toe into a different social arena to see what it's like. Right now you're widely accepted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your sense of humor is strong and you'll be giggling away at thing that others don't seem to find the least bit funny. And it doesn't help for you to point out why you think it's hilarious, either. Enjoy yourself and pay them no mind.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (NOVEMBER 9). You really walk your talk this year and make remarkable progress to long held goals. A strong supporter helps you maintain your motivation. You're thinking globally and acting locally through December as you make choices to benefit the planet. A loved one makes a big affectionate gesture in July. Cancer and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 40, 31, 24 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's difficult to get away from business, even if you're not working today. While you're cleaning up around the house or visiting with family, ideas pop into your head that just might solve everything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one is saying what they mean exactly, but that's fine by you. You know anyway, no words necessary. You're an expert at reading micro-gestures and taking every expression in context.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you feel pressured to make a big decision it is because someone stands to gain more from your answer than you do. Stall. Take a step back to see what's at stake. There's no need to be impulsive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like to have a lot of space to roam, though you do realize that can seem threatening to a partner. You're willing to give a loved one plenty of freedom in hopes that this person will respond in reciprocity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The thing you want is not within your grasp, not at all. It's miles and leaps and bounds away, and that doesn't bother you in the least. In fact it makes the goal more desirable. You burn with ambition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You get a full range of emotion in a 48-hour period. There are moments that are electric and exciting juxtaposed by times when nothing at all is going on. Everything balances perfectly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Are relationships meant to change you deeply, or are they better when they accept you for who you are? It turns out that both dynamics are occurring for you. Love and acceptance are your catalysts for improvements.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Are you willing to go to the ends of the earth for your love? Don't bluff now, because you just may be asked to do so. Venus and Pluto are up to something profound in Sagittarius, the sign of adventure. The conjunction of these two cosmic heavy-hitters brings up the subject of soul mates and destiny. It feels like love is chosen for you by the fates, and you are merely a follower of their design. You may be inspired to sing a song to your object of desire like a wandering troubadour in days of yore, or make grand, risky or expensive romantic gestures for your one and only. And speaking of one and only, you may find yourself wondering if your love and you are made for one another, and therefore meant to be entwined forever and ever. The nature of romance will not be solved for anyone during this conjunction, which lasts from Nov. 9-14. However, hold tight because soon these questions will no longer seem pertinent. You love whom you love for the time that you love them, and that is a beautiful part of your development, end of story.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: With his sun and Mercury in private Scorpio, it couldn't have been easy for Nick Lachey to live with camera crews filming his every move as a "Newlywed" to Jessica Simpson. But Scorpio has also had a knack for keeping a sacred inner world, even while living in the public eye. Lachey's subsequent divorce and rise to success with a solo career is evidence of Scorpio powers of transformation.
