Maybe you already forgave. Forgetting, on the other hand, is a process that usually takes longer than speaking a pardon. The productive Virgo moon urges us to keep moving forward and creating new experiences — because that situation that went bad in the past isn't worth depleting your serotonin over in the present.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's a new year, and that's only one of many good reasons to move the furniture, change the lighting, interrupt your routine and take on a new activity. Different will be better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Emotional involvement is the enemy of objectivity. What does the stranger think? Ask and get a view of your situation from the outside. This is the best vantage for coming up with a solution.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In artist Yoko Ono's famous White Chess Set, both players' pieces are white, making the opponent's arsenal indistinguishable. You'll create such a dynamic today and bring peace to your group.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The world you desired can still be. Don't give up. Go back to square one and make sure that and all subsequent steps are checked off. Chances are you missed something simple that can be easily remedied.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've formed a kind of magic circle with a few others — a space in which you've agreed to uphold the world of a game, which is very different from the world outside the game. Go out of your way to keep the sacredness of this today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The money you earn doing your favorite kind of work is somehow sweeter. It seems as if it has a greater value than other money, and you'll spend it in a special way because of this, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If the gift has strings attached, it's not a gift; it's a deal. Do you agree with the terms? More importantly, do you really know what they are? Implications are confusing. Don't let them stay implied. Get them stated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don't let that hypnotizing influence tempt you away from what needs doing. The work may be tedious, but it's also necessary. Get it out of the way. Once you commit yourself, it won't be so bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because of your affectionate feelings, this person's face is your favorite art, and your soul dances to the music of his or her voice. It's an unrealistic experience, and that's precisely what's so good about it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Success is a vague aim in and of itself. It can mean many different things to many different people. Narrow it down. Better to have one task with "finishability" on your list than a collection of open loops.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Consider that maybe the only thing standing between you and your joy is allowing yourself to feel it. The person who gave you the impression that happiness is a luxury had it all wrong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Keep an open heart and mind to trivial matters. The fun, sad, seemingly inconsequential chatter you hear today will prove to be of more significance than you might have guessed.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 15). Whether or not you believe that there is an all-powerful and pervasive force that constantly creates the universe, you'll be mightily impressed by what's formed and forming in your part of it this year. Get vacation time in February; it will be unforgettable. Love has you changing something in June. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 31, 2 and 29.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The region of the sky referred to by the ancients as "The Sea" is home to constellations named for aquatic creatures, such as Cetus the whale, Hydra the water serpent and Delphinus the dolphin. Among the oldest recognized constellations in The Sea is Aquarius, named not for a creature from the water but for one whose job it is to bring the water via a cup or a similar vessel to those who need it and sometimes to those who don't want it at all. Aquarius is associated with ending draught but also with flooding, as in the annual flooding of the Nile. It is not surprising that nearly every star tradition (including Babylonian, Greek, Chinese and Hindu traditions) embraces a mythology around the Water Bearer, as our very livelihood as a species relies on our access to — and sometimes our refuge from — H2O.

To align cosmically with the sun's passage into Aquarius this week, one might consider one's own relationship to water. Do you need to drink more of it? Is there something you can do to help others have clean water, too? And what are you drinking out of (let's hope not a plastic water bottle that will take anywhere from 400 to 1,000 years to decompose)? Fortune will favor the hydrationally responsible!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Rapper Pitbull fashioned his stage name after a breed of dog with a bite that locks on and won't shake loose, and the Capricorn superstar (with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to declare it) proves as tenacious and as controversial as his namesake. The Grammy winner was born when both the sun and Venus were in Capricorn; his business sense is innate.
