It's nonstop action in the heavens, starting with Jupiter's entrance into Gemini, where he'll be until June 25, 2013. Communication technology won't just step forward; it will leap like a springbok gazelle into a future of mindboggling connectivity. As if in preparation for all the excitement, Mercury squares Uranus and then opposes Pluto.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Seize the moments of calm, as you need to relax and rejuvenate between challenges. Remember that every difficult environment is a place to grow creatively, spiritually and personally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The day's events give you an opportunity to uphold your standards of equality and fairness. It's the meaning inside small choices that matters most to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know the social secret that takes the pressure off of any interaction: Other people are thinking primarily about themselves. All you have to do is show up with that charming smile and nod along.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even if your only reason for saying no to someone is that you don't feel right saying yes, it's reason enough. Your intuition is always feeding you legitimate information.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes you're afraid that if you accept help you are automatically indebted to the other person. That's not the case today, so go ahead and let others do some of the work when they offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Common sense is not always common knowledge. You'll pick up valuable information that seems rather obvious. Applying it will bring a kind of magic solution for a bothersome problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Every traveler along life's highway needs a rest stop every now and then. Your body may be telling you that you could use a bit more tenderness and care. Figuratively, it's time to pull over and fuel up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Not liking the way things are, you'll take an important step to change it. Your small move is enough to make a difference, but if you really want to see a different world, consistent steps over time will do the trick.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you're serious about doing your work well, you'll likely choose companionship over business. The personal time you shared with another person will make a memory.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes you feel like an old soul, but today brings a crisp, naive silliness to your experience that suggests that this lifetime will bring many fresh surprises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A relationship heats up, and you'll go into hyper-observant mode. You'll read the situation as if it were your favorite book, hanging on every word and thrilling to each page turn to find out what happens next.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don't have to do everything that is offered to you. Opportunities may arise that you simply can't get excited about. It's acceptable to leave an offer on the table for someone else to take advantage of.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 11). Strong and ambitious, you'll set out to make your mark on the world today. The next six weeks show you acquiring a skill you'll use for years to come. You'll receive good news on the topic of family in July. In August, you'll trade old habits for new. September brings routine changes and lifestyle improvements. Capricorn and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 20, 1, 22 and 49.

12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the energy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkwardness. Gemini natives are typically at ease in social situations, picking up on cues and sensing the best way to make connections. When a Gemini is shy, it's usually because this highly intelligent creature is over-thinking things. More often than not, Gemini finds conversational banter relatively easy. The tendency to beat is in sharing TMI: too much information.

You don't have to be a Gemini to take the social lesson of Gemini to heart. Every person has a level of curiosity to be flirted with. Tell people a little less than they really want to know, and you'll have them leaning forward trying to sate the appetite for information you've whetted. Tell them too much, and watch them recoil. Sometimes they will recoil with a micro-expression that can only be caught on videotape or, as it turns out, in your amazing subconscious mind. And if the recoil is bigger than that, make a note to self: You have officially crossed the line.
