Taurus Moon Says...

The moon in Taurus brings to mind Taurus native George Carlin, who once said, "If crime fighters fight crime, and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight?" He has an excellent point. In a related story, maybe it's time you align with what you want instead of fighting what you don't.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be surprised at the ones who contact you. How do these people even know about you? They don't. The data information of you may reach far, but only those privileged to be close to you really know you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even though you would like to say you are a believer, the more accurate reality is that you have an open mind. If it's proved to you, you will believe it. If not, you will be an open-minded person anticipating proof.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are on the road to greatness. How do you know this? Many people you have touched have continued on to greatness. You saw it in them all along. You see it in you, too. Don't lose faith.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People like to say that it's the things you don't do that you'll regret later. But those people haven't experienced unfortunate consequences of truly foolish and impulsive action. Safety first now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You think the world of someone. But should you? Today you'll gain more perspective and perhaps discover that it's best to put stock in the one you know better: you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No prize makes you happier than knowing you have earned it. The integrity and loyalty of your ways will be proved once more in today's unfolding of events.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid the tendency to complicate things. The answers will be astonishingly simple now, but they may not be the answers you want to hear. Accepting them regardless is a superhuman feat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can't help how you feel, but a funny thing happens once you accept and express those feelings. They change. Today, instead of pouting, sing the blues. It's more powerful, and people actually like to hear it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you know that you don't know, you're ahead of those who assume they do. Also, there are times to pretend like you understand what's going on, but today you're better off raising your hand and asking questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have the complete package, including the judgment that tells you when and how to share it.

Those without your powers of discernment will be watching you for cues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While striving for greatness in a pursuit, it is only natural and necessary to know what isn't helping and to be critical of that. Mastery moves beyond that criticism and begins accepting once more the so-called "defects."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You sometimes want to hear that the other person is sorry. Note that you don't need this; you just want it because it allows you to quickly get past what you perceive as a slight.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 12). You'll get serious with relationships both personal and professional. The next seven weeks are about buckling into commitment, and it's a secure feeling once all is resolved. June brings a trade. The investment you make in your physical environment will pay off in three years. August brings laughter and friendly good times. Taurus and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 2, 22 and 17.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You like being direct and upfront about what you want. It takes guts, and you have no shortage. TAURUS: How you cherish the loved one who gives you the right amount of space. GEMINI: You don't have fun; you are fun. Therefore, you actually need very little from others or from your environment to get the good times rolling. CANCER: You can't explain how and why you love right now; you just know that you do. LEO: Forward movement sometimes looks like backward movement. Don't be fooled. VIRGO: Love is as love does. Believe action, not words. LIBRA: Your stylishness goes beyond appearances. Your manner is equally fetching. SCORPIO: You can spot the kind of people who would be good for you, so stay away from the baddies. SAGITTARIUS: A partner who is as adventurous as you are is a keeper. CAPRICORN: The changes you make in the name of love will actually be good for you. AQUARIUS: Your relationships don't define you, but they are a beautiful reflection of who you are. PISCES: You don't have to hide your flaws. Highlight them instead, and you'll be surprised at who falls in love with you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Taurus and Aries are zodiac neighbors who speak the same language. However, Aries is the one likely to speak more of it and with greater intensity. Taurus rather likes being a listener now, but if Aries isn't mindful about returning the conversational ball, Taurus will have no problem speaking up. These two have so much catching up to do that they will share and connect late into the night.
