The Gemini moon is a charmer, entreating us to mingle where the conversation is bound to be colorful. Though everyone is more talkative under this moon, the wisest are listening more than they blab — especially to what goes unsaid. Be kind enough not to "bust" people on their white lies. It's all done in the name of social grace.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Admit what is real. Doing so will break the code that keeps certain doors closed to you. Once you've called out the truth, the doors open and you can walk in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Change needs a voice, and hey, you're it! Plan a rebellion of the most polished sort. Sometimes the slightest gesture is all that's needed to accomplish something huge and majestic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a panoramic view of the big picture — leave the small details to someone else, right? Wrong! You'll find exquisite joy in handling what would normally be considered tedious.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Normally, endless possibilities are delightful — but today is anything but normal. If you have more than three choices, you'll choose nothing. So ask for the abbreviated "menu."

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Lethargy is over! Gather all your best ideas, and practice your sales pitch. You'll soon get an energy injection that will help you put all your big dreams into practice.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 24). The world mirrors your belief that you deserve to be happy! There are things you would put up with in 2006 that you no longer tolerate this year. In April, inner walls crumble as you open up to love. Physical strength and vitality are featured in June. Put your power to the task of completing and selling your work. Scorpio and Leo people are allies. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 1, 30, 35 and 16.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The world doesn't need you to save it, nor does it need to be condemned — phew! What a relief! Now you can put your superhero cape away. The world is simply your classroom, where you both teach and learn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The most fascinating thing is taking place inside you. Your alter ego is gaining power. Everyone is seeing this new side of you and reacting to you in exciting ways you've never seen before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The fantastic thing about disruption is that it clears the deck emotionally, physically and spiritually. Today features a mini-shuffle that delivers a glossy, emptied alley in which to bowl your new frame.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your purpose changes, and that changes everything around you. OK, to the untrained eye, everything around you would seem remarkably similar to how it was yesterday. But you know better. All is different now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A mistake calls you to correct it. That doesn't mean it's a sin or a crime. It's just a mistake, and you can fix it easily and move on. This you'll do before the sun sets.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It seems that no matter what goes on, you're at peace. What's your secret? First of all, you're working on a project that is so big you hardly have time to engage in tiny, attention-stealing troubles.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). From your ethereal Olympian perch, the arguments going on down below, especially those in your family circle, seem base. But there is a reason to get involved. Your compassion is very much needed. Investigate.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Capricorn who's been enamored with a Sagittarius for close to seven years now. He doesn't know I feel this way about him because I've never told him. We lost touch a few years ago, and I'm wondering whether we will ever reunite, and if we do, will it amount to anything special?"

He knows how you feel and has for some time. Capricorns like you can play it cool and are often quite effective in hiding their feelings, but not always, and certainly not over the long term. It's truth-telling time. You haven't wanted to trade in your fantasy version of love for the real thing, and who can blame you? There are many wonderful aspects to a fantasy love life that are hard to give up, like the safety of not being rejected and the way you can spin things so that you never have to get hurt. Use the new Aries solar energy of the next few weeks to be a warrior in your love life. It's time to be brave and risk your heart for the chance to experience true love. Giving up the idea of love with this Sagittarius is the first step toward finding something real.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Does Aries actress Sarah Jessica Parker have to work hard to maintain her adorable figure? This astrologer thinks it comes rather naturally to her — how unfair! Aries people burn calories faster than the rest of us, as their metabolism is geared to keeping them quick and lithe as a ballerina. Parker is the quintessential Aries, with her sun, Mercury and Venus all in the headstrong fire sign.
