The Libra moon offers you an opportunity to work things out. In all likelihood, all will happen for the better. The danger is that you are too conciliatory, muting your own interests to serve your love's needs. Don't forget that you are equal to each and every being. Also recognize that you are the main person responsible for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Something will take over when you need it most. Maybe it's a survival instinct, or maybe it's help from on high. It doesn't matter what you call this help; you'll appreciate it all the same.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your wisdom will kick in before you waste time chasing or striving for something meaningless. It doesn't matter how you rate against the next person. You'll surpass yourself, and this will be an amazingly satisfying feat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll make like an actor now and stretch into the role in which you've been cast. You might think of this as an honor, a challenge or a pain. It is likely that all three will fit in some way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be susceptible to a fever of impulsivity. Make only thoughtful decisions. If you feel yourself acting rashly, consider that you may feel differently when a few hours or days have passed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're a hard worker, but you're an even harder player. It's what you do during off hours that will have the most impact. There's a way to behave responsibly and still follow the call of your wild soul.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have your own peculiar sense of timing. You'll feel the hand of fate at your back, but you won't budge. You refuse to be rushed by anyone, including the larger forces like weather and destiny.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People need to be given credit for what they have contributed to your life. No matter how small an effort it might have been, it may be large in their minds, and they are expecting a nod.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be the purveyor of good taste among your crowd this weekend. Take the responsibility seriously. Show the others what they need to do in order to lift the level of artistry and excellence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mothers of toddlers fully appreciate what it takes to get another (often belligerent) person where they need to be, dressed and ready at the expected time. You'll be in a similar position to the toddler moms now.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). Your commitment to family means that you are sometimes interrupted by events that are only important to the person experiencing them. Outsiders couldn't care less. It will feel good to know that you are on the inside.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). So many ideas out there in the world, and everyone seems to want to share with you. But you have your own ideas, don't you? And you're so independent today that you just may close your ears to the rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your gifts are hard to define. But they are real, and that's something you shouldn't doubt. Explore them instead. Enjoy the gift of you. It's something that is sorely needed in this world.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 10). Your friends and ancestors are helping you this year. If you don't believe that the unseen forces can assist your destiny, you'll change your mind by April. June will bring an exciting twist to your personal life. Your interests broaden, and your good luck doubles. Professional moves lead to location changes. Cancer and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 33, 1 and 28.

COSMIC CONFIDENCE: In the age of Facebook and YouTube, there are more opportunities than ever before to project yourself in a public forum. Your astrological sign offers unique insight to help you gain the confident edge that will make others take notice and give you the right kind of attention. So what's your cosmic advantage?

CAPRICORN: The gurus suggest that the path to enlightenment involves the elimination of opinion. "Huh?" the opinionated person exclaims! Who would I be without my point of view? The gurus suggest that the "who" is not important. You would be one with the universe.

This is very hard to get across in a big meeting, a dating profile, a blog or a social networking medium. Face it: You live in the real world, and you have ideas about your own identity and how that relates to the universe at large.

Your key to portraying yourself with confidence is to temper your opinions with a fair dose of open-mindedness. It takes a truly wise and sophisticated person to hold opposing views in mind simultaneously. Luckily, wise and sophisticated is just who you are.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: "American Idol" superstar Carrie Underwood is an empathic Pisces with Mercury in the imaginative station of Pisces, as well. Her musical and forward-leaning Aquarius moon makes sure she's always thinking of the next big hit. Love planet Venus in Aries suggests that she's idealistic about love and also willing to fight for the relationships she wants.
