The full Leo moon is a passionate lunar aspect, dizzy with theatricality. Life is a circus, stylized by your preferences. Decide what you want to happen. Imagine the person you want to know, and then hold open the door. Dream up a treasure and search for it. The realm of possibilities pops open under the pressure of a swollen moon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's a wonderful day for love. Couples will grow their bond by making new plans and commitments. Singles will meet someone worthy of the effort it takes to create a special romance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll have a heightened awareness of what others are going through. It's like you can see the inner workings of others. And the more they try to hide their motives and feelings the easier it is for you to view them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When work is hard, this will be good luck for you. You'll get to ask for help, and that will connect you with someone who can not only assist you in one situation, but who can be a stellar future resource.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Tedious tasks can help your overall brain function. While one part of your mind is mildly tending to the task, other parts are working on bigger, more exciting problems.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be willing to subjugate your ego in order to fulfill the interests of a group — just as long as it's the right group. People you admire and want to learn from will appear, and you'll enjoy the camaraderie.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even if you don't know exactly where you are in relation to where you want to be, you are not lost. There are people close by to direct you, just like there always have been.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll find it difficult to get down to work, especially when the work itself is too easy for you. Don't think, just do. There will be spiritual rewards for keeping your commitments.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can't do everything. But what you can do, you'll do a lot of today. Furthermore, you will find willing assistance in a person who has nothing better to do than follow your instructions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll be put in charge of a challenge. A decision you make regarding this may not be wildly popular, but you only have to convince a few people to make it happen. And you'll be mighty convincing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You face the kind of problems that take time to work out. So be patient. Write out all the steps you can think of and then get started. This becomes easier once you're in motion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A project you took on because it looked like fun now becomes a lot of work. Continue on anyhow. And get ready for a degree of fame and recognition, too, as others will soon be impressed with your accomplishment.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 29). Your high-voltage approach to life will allow you to see more places and meet more people in February and March than most people will experience all year. Being outrageous comes naturally to you in May, and you'll get the kind of attention you can take to the bank. Family will be proud of your success in June. Scorpio and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 40, 39 and 18.
