The Libra moon is like a cool glass of lemonade on a hot day: refreshing. She'll focus that revitalizing energy on our relationships, with a little help from Venus and Mercury lining up in Gemini. There's nothing heavy about these skies. Everything comes together through breezy flirting, laughter and light conversation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can let the past inform you without getting stuck there. Dwelling on the past would only prevent you from seizing the glorious opportunities of the here and now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If your duties feel exhausting, consider taking a break from them altogether. There are times when doing nothing is far more productive than wearing yourself out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even if your current situation isn't ideal (and whose is?), you wouldn't want to go back to where you were. Remind yourself of all you're grateful for and all you've been able to create in your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A curtain closing doesn't have to mean the end of the play, so don't let it be a disappointing experience. More than likely, the curtain will open again after a complete change of scenery has occurred.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your ideas are stellar, but they may not be quite ready to present to the world. Keep honing them. Test them out on your core group of trusted cohorts. If you don't have such a group, start putting one together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A task no longer brings you joy, and you'd just as soon not do it — but your high level of responsibility won't allow you to bail, so you're stuck. Change your attitude and push through. There's joy to be wrung out of this yet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The moon favors you now, and so will other people. The consummate egalitarian, you may not be extremely comfortable with favoritism, but you'd do well to take advantage of it. This doesn't happen every day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you're happy, you'll be productive, effective and smart. When you're not happy, nothing will go quite right. So put this day on the right track: Make yourself happy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Answers are forthcoming, so you may as well ask the big questions. If you ask questions that challenge your own fundamental assumptions, what you learn will rock your world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Challenges will be solved by drawing on diverse ideas and knowledge. Cast your net wide. Talk to friends who have a background that is very different from yours. Research in unusual places.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You might be in a position to give criticism, and if it's not all good, try to do it in person. Face to face is the best way to handle anything you have to share that's less than complimentary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are a compassionate teacher. This is a gift you'll get the opportunity to share with others today. Seeing people blossom under your tutelage will be most rewarding.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 31). Success is easier for you to create than it once was. Having picked up some shortcuts, you'll skip to what works. In June, you'll rally the troops and lead them to victory. Relationships fortify you in July, and one in particular stands out. In August, you benefit from someone's financial generosity. Put on a show in September. Pisces and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 49, 2, 39 and 18.

SAGITTARIUS MOTIVATIONAL SECRETS: This fire sign is practically a symbol for motivation: charging forward on horse, arrow drawn and aiming for the stars. But even centaurs can hit pockets of life when motivation is low.

However, it's more likely that Sagittarius, so curious about the world and flitting from person to person, project to project, will put too many irons in the fire. Energy is dispersed so that it seems to take forever for any one of those irons to sufficiently heat up. Progress is so slow that Sagittarius loses interest and moves on to a new fire, leaving the irons to the next taker.

In this scenario, Sagittarius does well to narrow the focus. Pick only the best goal and work it until the end. How do you know the right goal to pick? The right goal will ring you like a bell. Your heart rate will quicken ever so slightly when you name it. You'll vibrate when you write about it or hold it up to the light beam of your mind's eye. The idea of experiencing your right goal puts a sweet taste in your mouth and a buzz in your solar plexus.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Like a typical Gemini, Clint Eastwood wears many hats, and his astonishing versatility has won him awards in different fields. This actor, director, producer and composer was born when Mercury was in Taurus, showing grit and tenacity. His moon and Venus are in the soulful sign of Cancer. His Mars and Uranus in Aries, the sign of the warrior, adds fiery charisma to the mix.
