Everyone will need a rest after this week's active skies, but there's no time for that now. Pluto opposes the sun, and then the sun and Uranus square off. Even when the schedule slows down, an emotional fever burns on. There's much to process, not with the mind but with the whole body, especially the heart and the spirit that radiates from it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The way you look or the way you think you look will have a profound influence on how the day unfolds. Taking the time to dress for the occasion will bolster your confidence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your domestic and professional needs are very much in line right now, making it relatively easy for you to get where you want to go. The energy is with you, so run with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have kindred spirits you don't even know about. You'll meet one this weekend, so get out there and be ready to place your hand in the hand of another and say hello.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). How light can you be? The answer is, as light as your heart will allow. Unburden yourself, and you can fly up to the moon in your imagination — a meditation that is highly recommended now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your inner needs are mirrored in the people you meet today. The cool thing about it is that you don't even know what you need until someone you meet speaks the words. Magic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Waiting can be something that happens when you're in between events, or it can be a habit. Which one is it for you? Think about establishing a habit of doing things right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have an appetite today, an appetite for a high quality of life and a fruitful existence. You'll bite into that fruit and be excited by the tastes that are so of the moment that you'll hardly believe your joy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Each generation has its own peculiar logic. The relationships you cherish may not be something you could explain to your elders. You'll do your best, though.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make a game plan for getting what you want. The planning is very important. It's not so easy to do, but it's very important. Take all the time you need to make an excellent plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll relate well to the people you meet, quickly finding common ground. The wide range of life experiences you've sought makes this possible, which is why you continue to seek new adventures daily.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone in your history was displeased with how the events of your relationship unfolded. The blame is not entirely yours to claim. It takes two to tango. The sooner you move on the better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can be proud of how you got past the difficulties in your life. And if you ever need to remember, you have witnesses to those times. It will bolster your confidence to privately celebrate your victory once more.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 29). A strange series of events begins at the start of July, and you'll make sweet success of what comes. The next six months will challenge you in the way that windmills challenged Don Quixote. The only difference is that you know windmills are not giants, and yet they still seem like something to be conquered. Taurus and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 11, 14, 39 and 29.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You can maneuver in a wide variety of social situations, which is why you are at the top of everyone's invite list. TAURUS: When you're expected to make the first move, it can be most effective to back off, creating intrigue. GEMINI: Slow-paced romance can be frustrating and confusing, but have patience. Pushing things along won't work, either. CANCER: You refuse to back down, and your love realizes how strong you really are. LEO: A lucky chain of events leads to a meeting of the minds. VIRGO: The one who needs you will call you again and again. LIBRA: You'll have to forgive your love repeatedly if everything is to work. SCORPIO: Find the place where everyone wants to be, and show up there. SAGITTARIUS: You and a friend may both like the same person. Which one of you will make the first move? CAPRICORN: You care enough to get to know someone and remember the details of this person's life. AQUARIUS: Family advice is not always helpful, but this week it happens to be spot-on. PISCES: Your phone "blows up" with offers, but only one stands out as a stellar opportunity not to be missed.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio demands that people prove themselves before trust is freely given. But Cancer earns the trust of Scorpio this weekend, no problem. Cancer understands the importance of honesty and can't manage to hide feelings from Scorpio. There's no point in holding back, dear moonchild! Raw emotions surface, and Scorpio wants to be there. The weekend turns friendship into romantic passion.
