Yesterday featured the full moon, a lunar eclipse, the retrograde of Neptune and a squared aspect between Venus and Mars. It's a lot to take in. Luckily, today's lull in the action will give us a chance to process the changes whirling around in this highly charged atmosphere. The earthy Capricorn moon will keep us grounded.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll have a flash of insight, an ideal picture of where you want to go. Because of this vision, you are the perfect one to lead a group of people with similar goals and interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The details will be the difference between falling on your face and winning the race. In other words, before you rush forward, make sure your shoes are tied.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What moment of your life would you relive a thousand times if you could? Identifying the factors that added up to this special time will help you create scenarios that offer the same kind of charge.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People say "just kidding," and what they mean is "this is true, at least in part." You're usually attuned to the message behind the message, and now you're even more aware of what people really mean.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfortunately, you can't become the person you want to be by continuing to do what you've been doing. You may not be ready to make adjustments just yet, but you will be in the mood to mull over your options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A perplexing issue gives you a chance to practice what you've learned. You've addressed situations like this before. Detail the lessons you've learned and how you can apply them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each day gives you 24 hours to live fully. How many moments is that? Some will go through the entire day zombie-like, not creating or being present to a single moment. You'll try to do the opposite.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You believe it's your role and responsibility to help everyone else have a good time, and you'll do an excellent job. You may sacrifice your own satisfaction and fun in the process, but you'll get your turn soon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll hear about a quick fix, but it's actually a lie in both the "quick" and the "fix" departments. What you do over a long-term period will give you better results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The plan is doable, and it's going to be successful. Someone who keeps telling you that will be critical to the results. Figure out how to attract more team members. Perhaps this will include simply asking for help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll manage your life in the practical way you might manage a business. Outline the best outcome you could hope for and the most critical steps you could take to achieve it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will prove your skill in the art of reconciliation. You know how to fight, too, but your sincere want of a peaceful solution keeps you striving for a gentle outcome.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 5). Making people laugh will be a priority, and you'll love the way people light up around you. This month someone will right a past wrong, and you finally will receive what you deserve from the situation. July brings chances to mingle, bring friends together and do lucrative business. August is most romantic. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 2, 39, 49 and 14.

PISCES MOTIVATION SECRETS: Aristotle said that the soul never thinks without a picture. Imaginative Pisces is adept at piecing together these pictures into a filmstrip of imagery that keeps Pisces engaged and excited about life. Because Pisces energy is among the most imaginative astrological influences — ruled by Neptune, the planet that governs, among other things, dreams, visions and fantasies — Pisces responds best to a heightened version of reality. So the less a Pisces' mental pictures have to do with the reality of how things look the better. Outrageous, otherworldly and improbable mental pictures flip on motivational forces in Pisces, helping the sign of the fish to perform at top levels.

If you're a Pisces struggling to stay motivated, consider creating a vision board to help you stay inspired. Choose images for your goal that not only spark an enthusiastic response in you, but also stimulate your imagination. Give your images a twist. For instance, set your dream house on the moon, or if your goal is to lose weight, choose a picture of the body you'd like to create, and then color it pink or green so that the image stands out powerfully in your imagination.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Once upon a time, an underwear model took over Hollywood (true story), and his name is Mark Wahlberg. This highly intelligent Gemini followed his savvy instincts and superb communication skills from the role of model to rapper to actor to producer and executive producer of movies and popular HBO series such as "Entourage" and "Boardwalk Empire" — and the hits keep coming.
