FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating. It could be that Neptune is just jealous of all that youthful vigor, or that Mercury has a tendency to talk "out of school." Either way, …Read more. FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 Did things just get more interesting, or have they been interesting all along and we're only just now noticing it?

FOR RELEASE: TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2011

The Aquarius moon will offer inspiration. With the sun burning through high-energy Aries, we have the fuel to carry out the ambitious mission that the Aquarius moon demands, even if said mission happens to be delightfully impractical or hopelessly idealistic. Make a list and check it off as you go. Pen and paper make miracles happen.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your leisure moments will be magical. You will get swept up into a brilliant piece of entertainment. The pettiness and worries of daily life will disappear as you thoroughly enjoy yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There is nothing wrong with keeping score. If you didn't, there would be no game. However, you realize that there are times (like today) when it is better to throw out the scorecard and start fresh.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Like the god your guiding planet Mercury was named for, you will make your next moves with speedy assurance, defying laws of gravity as though there were wings on your shoes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's a competition on the horizon. You will give your best and most focused attention to preparing for this event. As you apply all you know, you will be a magnet for the new information you need to succeed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You set the kind of goals that will challenge you but won't be so difficult that you are likely to be overwhelmed by the enormity and seeming impossibility of the task.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You put people first and consider the feelings of others at every turn. When it's your turn to get in the game, though, you play to win. The thrill of victory will be one of the things you enjoy most about today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You thought you knew your own priorities, but you will be surprised by your reaction to the day's events. This indicates that something or someone is more important to you than you previously thought.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are curious about what is going on in the lives of others, but you are not nosy. You respect the boundaries of privacy. As you show interest in others without the crossing the line, you'll teach through your example.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You realize that there is no way to accomplish the day's work without a fair dose of teamwork. That's why you will downplay the "I" and give your emphasis to the "we."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will put yourself in the other person's shoes.

It's not hard to do this, but it takes a special person to make the effort — a person who is willing to let go of his or her own egoistic needs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There's something you are trying to do despite the fact that, given your current situation, it seems highly improbable that you will succeed at the task. Give everything you have, and you will turn the odds in your favor.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel like you are being picked on. Just keep in mind that sometimes the very thing you think of as rejection or bad luck is actually the luckiest thing that could happen to you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 29). Family celebrates you. New friends enter your world over the next 10 weeks and will continue to be a source of variety and spice. Thrilling challenges arise in May. You will study a new culture or profession in April. June brings your favorite kind of distraction. Invest in July for a return that will come in three years. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 20, 4, 31 and 18.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm having a problem at work. I work at a company where the men outnumber the women 7 to 1. I have been at the same job for five years and have been overlooked for promotions (that went to men) twice. It has often happened that in meetings I will voice an idea and no one says anything. Ten minutes or so later, one of my male colleagues will state the idea as though it was his and get a (usually favorable) response. The first time this happened, I was shocked. Now I'm just used to it. My question is, should I move on to a new company? I'm a Scorpio."

No, you should not. You will have the same problem at a new company unless you learn the lesson that this unfortunate situation is teaching you. It is not acceptable that you let others take credit, or blame as the case may be, for your ideas. Scorpios can be quiet, private and introverted — qualities that do not serve you in a meeting. When you speak and do not get a response, ask for one — demand one if you have to. Make sure you are heard. Make it impossible to ignore you. Write a script for yourself about how you will handle this scenario in the future.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Aries Vince Vaughn is an actor, screenwriter, producer, comedian, and new husband and father. This recent turn in Vaughn's personal life will give new dimension to his professional life, as well. Vaughn's sun, Mercury and Venus all burn brightly in the fire sign of Aries, suggesting he's a risk taker, a quick thinker and a self-made man. His Sagittarius moon reflects a stellar sense of humor.
