Though they say your life is created in your mind, such a thing is hard to prove during working hours. Also, isn't it a little irrelevant where life exits? Unless you can use the information to give yourself more options, it's hard to see why it matters whether life is contained in your head or in a snow globe on the moon. This is the pondering of the early Aquarius sun.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A project seems to be taking over your life in many ways, including financial ones. Don't emphasize how expensive it is; rather, focus on the joy, education and relationships it brings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you aren't busy working on your own goals today, you're working on someone else's. Whose? And how did this person get so lucky as to entice you to this line? It's an excellent time to review and rework the plan.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stick to the one aim, the one person, the one ideal you want to hold up. Multitasking pretty much ensures malcontent. Try and do two things; none get done.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll give yourself the good advice like you usually do, but no guarantees that you're going to follow it. And who is the "you" who's giving it anyway? Is this person taking into consideration all (the humor, fun, bonding) you need?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some call it moral courage, some call it optimism, and you don't call it anything, because this is how you are. You're the one moving forward, seeing the possibilities, giving that big smile and feeling groovy today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you love something there are two modes you often take. You either make it sacred, and stash it on high in an untouchable place, or you play with it every which way until it's worn-in like only you could do it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your happiness is not dependent on approval, excitement or reward. You're curious. You find it easy to like people. These qualities are what drive you to the interesting places.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Every time you think of a memory, you corrupt it. It's not just you; these are the wonderful adaptations of the human brain. This is why history is more of an art than a science — something to keep in mind now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To change yourself is to change the world. Most people don't think of it, though. It's not the most popular quest. Everyone is trying to make a mark outwardly. The inward changers — they're onto something.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Storms on Jupiter make earthly hurricanes look infantile. But that's just how it is around here. Nothing on earth can rage indefinitely. When passion dies down, as is its natural course, acceptance is grace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Since you're going to travel the same roads time and again, why not sprinkle some wildflower seeds as you go, so you'll have pretty changes to watch along the way?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You wish time would change things for you, but it's becoming clear that you're going to have to do it yourself. A little more grit, a little more muscle, some negotiations, a sprinkle of charm — you're almost there.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 21). You give the others a sense that you're in it together, and that's some of the reason they really want to be in it with you. The shrewd, timely and lucrative actions you take in the next 10 weeks don't hurt either! What marches into your life in March will open your heart. Then June takes it to a contractual level. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 3, 22, 28 and 9.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a 16-year-old Aquarius, and I'm considering doing my junior year of high school in a different country. I'd like to go to Spain. My friends think I'm crazy for wanting to do this, because I'll miss out on so much at home. And when I get back, everyone will be a senior and tight with their friends, and I'll have to find a way to fit in all over again. Not to mention I'll probably be really lonely in a different country where I barely speak the language. What do you think?"

Aquarius is the sign of philanthropy, intellect and the collection of human knowledge. It's beautiful that you want to learn in a different country, and this desire will not only enhance your resume; it will change your life. You are defining yourself as a citizen of the world, an adventurer and one who is willing to take risks in order to understand humanity and your place in it. Your place among the seniors back home will only be enhanced by this brave (and also potentially super fun) journey. Go for it!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Jeremy Shada is the voice of Finn the Human in the much-awarded and celebrated Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time." The role has attracted a cult following for the young Aquarius, which he is uniquely qualified to command. His natal Mercury, Venus and Neptune in assertive Capricorn are a compliment to Shada's sun, Jupiter and Uranus in Aquarius.
