Mars and Jupiter are in a debate over what it means to be lucky. Mars insists that you make your own luck through hard work. Jupiter says that feeling lucky is what attracts luck. The Aries moon chimes in with a bargain for us humans: Begin it, and you'll be lucky. There's nothing more auspicious than not knowing your own limitations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Lessons have to do with recognizing your authentic self and your unique attributes. It's really not hard to tell the difference between what's yours and what you're taking on for someone else. Dare to shed a false identity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The good part is, your imagination is incredibly active! Keep a vigilant focus on positive thoughts or fear will creep in. After all, being in a state of chronic readiness for escape or battle is no fun, and it's not productive, either.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your inner dialogue becomes increasingly turbulent unless you take measures to counteract the noise. External silence will help you hush your inner chatter. Carve out 10 minutes to sit quietly and simply be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's no need to risk an adventure alone. At least three people you know are willing to go with you, and at least one among them has pursued the endeavor before and would serve as a guide if asked.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some treasures are hidden underground, but most are found in the pages of a book, the words of a friend, the embrace of a loved one … The list goes on. Today is filled with such gold and jewels.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (January 6). You're a visionary this year. You have the potential to realize one of your ideas over the next 10 weeks. You need a mentor to help you make it happen — and a partner wouldn't hurt! Kindred souls are all around you this spring. Galvanize the group to help your mission! Your connections with a Pisces and an Aries are remarkable. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 40, 33 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll achieve beyond the so-called normal range of achievement — something to be proud of, but, of course, you expect it from yourself. Celebrate the small victories. They are more significant than you realize.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Emotional alarm clocks go off at their highest volume and intensity. It is easy to panic and important that you don't. The sound is not meant to startle you but simply to wake you up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pain is an unavoidable part of life, and yet we work so hard to avoid it. It's an ideal day to face what you perceive will be unpleasant. By doing, so it somehow becomes less icky.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Chances are, you're getting a lot of different kinds of advice, but it all boils down to the same thing: Fish or cut bait. Right now, in order to win your prize, you may have to let it go.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're happy, relaxed and having so much fun! Seeing you this way could hit your ex (boss, love or friend) like a bucket of cold water — they don't know you quite as well as they thought they did.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your search for love yields results. If you are honest, you'll see that those results are somehow equal and opposite of what you are putting out. Know your purpose, and you'll attract the same.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Impatience is your enemy. It compels you to take action out of fear, which causes mistakes. Take the time to get it right and you won't waste the time it takes to do over.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Loved ones are put to the test this weekend. Try not to score too harshly! ARIES: Feeling unsatisfied also makes you feel more alive. TAURUS: You are sorely missed — someone will be thrilled by your call. GEMINI: Those close fear the changes in your life, but you must take care of yourself first. CANCER: You'll be quick on the uptake — flirting is so easy! LEO: The dating process should be taken lightly — funny stuff happens. VIRGO: You are in power, and others make a move toward you before you even think about love. LIBRA: Releasing the need to control is a major key to romantic success. SCORPIO: Love requires you to rise to the occasion, which you do. SAGITTARIUS: Romantic strategy is your forte. CAPRICORN: What once would have caused a rift between you and a loved one can now be dealt with in a snap. AQUARIUS: You are charmed by someone who seems to have been sent from Central Casting. PISCES: Love enters your life when you break out of your Friday night rut. Rent a karaoke machine, and torment your neighbors for the evening.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: It's an excellent weekend for Virgo and Capricorn to share an experience. Both can be rather serious, goal-oriented and ambitious. And both desire very strong, enduring family ties. Learning to trust will be this couple's growing edge. Virgo and Capricorn are each willing to let a relationship weather a test of time and loyalty if they think there's a chance for living happily ever after.
