Take the morning slow. Sleep in. Linger over morning coffee. When the juice of the Aries moon hits your system, you'll know it's time to move. The Ram is a solitary animal, yet he longs for someone with whom to share his castle. Busyness and motion are fulfilling in their own right, but at the end of the day sharing with loved ones is cheering.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's a new day and a new chance to feel healthy and alive. Instead of shutting a partnership out, ask for the space to focus on your newest goals. Once you've started tapping the well, you're up all night sharing your ideas.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you might've otherwise missed, a perceptive friend catches. So your success depends on your being able to converse with someone who knows that conversation at its best is an exercise in intense listening.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Use your foresight. You'll make an executive decision — after all, you're the CEO of your life. On a side note: To accomplish anything in life, you need Twin groupies and fans. Get out and meet other Geminis.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don't have to keep up with the Joneses to keep on the up and up. Comparing yourself to others is futile. A quick phone call from a family member or personal friend is an instant pick-me-up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your higher self is the best business partner you've got. By asking the enlightened part of your being for advice, you can't go wrong. Imagine what the world would be like if everyone used this spot-on affirmation.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 15). Focus on all the reasons you can have everything you want out of life — the reasons you can't have what you want turn out to be a crock! One by one you reclaim your dreams. A windfall in May is your first good sign. Scorpio and Capricorn people are allies. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 39, 41 and 56.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The emotional reverberations you're feeling aren't all in your head. Take all the time you need to process. The satisfaction you get from deeply listening to yourself is invaluable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you have any tendency to lose faith in a relationship, usually right before major turning points, check it. Even if you've got it all figured out, you're not the only hero/heroine in this love story.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you were a carpenter, you'd nail out a really great piece of work today. If you were a laundress, you'd get a lot of laundry done — and well. Not all great accomplishments are big. The small stuff can be magnificent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Remember when you did all sorts of daring kid stuff? You didn't think twice about throwing caution to the wind. Put on your rollerblades, or go-go dance to old tunes. Today you're wiser about your antics, but no less a kid.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Every household has a division of labor, and the challenge is not treating your family as your serfs. Your abode is your love nest, not your fiefdom (an inheritable, exclusive land). Make a list of chores, and make 'em fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Take a Sunday drive to a nearby town or museum. It's not so much where you go, just go. Think of it as a way to let all those ideas in your mind percolate. Release them. They'll come back, but this time, better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). They say time is money. You say time is precious. If you could make your money work for you so you have more of both, what would that look like? A website or home-based business is worth exploring.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: This week brings the Warrior's new moon. The new moon isn't till Tuesday, but Aries arrives early every time. Aries energy is typified by the battle between ego and superego, a breakfast of champions! But Mars in Pisces teaches us to be less Herculean and more spiritual warrior in our approach to our desires. In Dan Millman's book "Way of the Peaceful Warrior," the main character, Dan, has met defeat and needs a new way of being in the world. When he meets a wily character named Socrates at a gas station, he receives playful teachings on paradox, humor and change. Socrates disillusions Dan. Paradox reminds us that we're in the mystery and will never know how it all ends. Humor keeps our touch light and our mind from thinking it can all be figured out. Change is the core of life, keeping the spiritual warrior on his toes. Does being a spiritual warrior mean relinquishing our personal wants and desires? Resoundingly no! We achieve them more gracefully. During the sun's final days through Aries, the warrior in everyone is called out. How does this figure into your latest life missive? Advice from the thousands-years-old sage hero: "Know thyself."

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Often Hollywood's leading men age with "dignity," while leading women get grace and memories of youth. Not so for Brit Emma Thompson, whose sparkling Aries vitality is matched by youthful Venus in Gemini, as her appeal in children's movies like "Nanny McPhee" attests. Writing is also a joy for Thompson — she wrote the "McPhee" script and starred in it with her own mum!
