What is intuition to you? What moves have you made in life that seemed to come from a place that even you do not fully understand? Mercury and Mars meet in Pisces at the hush of the season's final week, fusing thought and action in a tide of intuition. This is momentum guided by feeling, strategy softened by soul. Then Friday's spring equinox tips the balance into fresh light. What stirred in the depths will rise.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The urge to complain is natural. It's the mind naming what's wrong, and that's the first step in fixing it. Just don't set up camp there. Looping cycles of thought don't solve problems, though they may air emotions. This week, you'll move past the words and into action. You'll close the gap between "what is" and "what should be."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're not losing sleep over being good at everything because no one needs to be — especially when you know what you're here for. You'll focus on the one thing that matters most to you. Your passion surges and you put in the time, do it better than anyone, learn all there is to know and become so masterful at it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are patient. Not because you're a saint but because you know what it's like to be the unwitting victim of an impatient person. It's hard to learn or perform or do anything when someone is rushing you or frustrated with you. Patience is just better leadership, and outcomes are better when everyone is cool. You'll embody it and be popular for this.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To find the middle ground you must first know the position of each side. What are the extremes? Where are people coming from? You'll find out this week. You'll ask questions that inspire honesty. You're willing to hear it. You can't build anything worthwhile on falsehoods. It helps that you're not judgmental. People feel safe around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know what it's like to mess up, recalibrate and improve. You know what it feels like to keep trying again even when you're not sure you'll ever get it. The experience makes you the ideal teammate, partner, parent or boss. It keeps you from thinking "I'm above this." Instead, you think, "I've been there." You don't rush to judge, and they love you for it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Yes, you can give a pep talk, but what people really need from you this week isn't enthusiasm; it's truth. Honesty can be an uncomfortable thing to deliver. But it's going to change how the week goes and matter down the road, too, so it's worth figuring out a way to deliver the grounded, practical help you give so well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The project or relationship isn't going to plan. Slow down and assess where you're at, what you expected and whether the discrepancy matters. Resist patching things up just to feel productive. To fix something that's not really the problem is a waste of energy. Try instead to understand what's at the root of things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The sunk cost fallacy is the tendency to keep investing in something because of what you've already put into it (time, money, effort, identity), even when continuing no longer makes sense. Unfortunately, past costs are unrecoverable. Staying in a losing situation only increases the investment. Let your next move be only about future benefits and costs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Ambition is often born from things like desire, lack, comparison or hunger. Whatever the source, it's propelling you now. And you don't always get what you aim for, but you never walk away empty-handed. This week, the outcome may vary, but the expansion is guaranteed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's OK to change your mind, even better to take your time with decisions. The fates will wait on you as you do the research, try to see things from different points of view and finally make a choice you feel good about. This isn't about getting everything right; it's about really trying to do what's best for all involved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone around you feels complicated, confusing, emotionally layered in a way that requires decoding. You might feel like you're being pulled into analyzing them. You are not obligated to solve someone else's psyche. But if you're intrigued, then sure, explore it. If it feels draining, you can always opt out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've been brave, facing the facts instead of ignoring them, doing the work instead of taking the easy route. You've moved through your feelings and now you're right at the point of making a change. All you have to do now is step through the door. It's OK if you don't feel ready; no one does. Just take a breath and go.
