This is the last official day of the season. Tomorrow the solar cycle refreshes itself with a power move into Aries, a celestial event that has been celebrated since ancient times. It will be most auspicious to use today as a wrap-up. Do what you can to finish projects, tie up loose ends and put some closure on old news.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What do you do when the results don't match up with your dreams? Dream differently. Dream bigger, smaller — and if this reality still can't find a place in your visions, maybe it's not worthy of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You've a talent for objectivity, especially when it comes to viewing your own life. This is a rare perspective, so take advantage. What will matter to you about your current scene when you look back on it five years from now?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you're not immediately good at the task, this is an opportunity to learn, meet people, connect. There's nothing wrong with being a little bit helpless at times.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). We don't always know what's best for ourselves, but giving one another the benefit of the doubt will be key today. You're supportive and open-minded because right now agreement isn't so important as finding a way to get along.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you can't manage to get rid of the old to make way for the new, don't worry. The rotten past may just break down to a most nutrient-rich soil to grow a future that is very much to your liking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your modesty is a lovely quality in most situations, but it could hurt your status if you don't publicly own your work and properties now. Claim the credit that's due to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When people feel at home around you, you usually take it as a compliment — until boundaries are crossed and some get too familiar. They need a bit of training; you'll lay it down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your mission is one of noble intent. It won't be without its pitfalls, but by the end of the day, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did your job well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If there's some favorite thing of yours that you've been overusing lately (something you consume, a show you watch or a person you rely on), you'll now have more self-control on the matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Certain people make you feel more alive. It's quite human to feel the spark of attraction even under circumstances that are less than totally appropriate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Debate the critics. If you don't have any real ones, debate the critic you imagine. A good argument will be excellent for your productivity. Set a time limit for the exchange, and then send the critic away when it's done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is a quirk of human nature to blame those we have harmed and then dislike them for existing as a sign of our imperfection. It is also a quirk of human nature to rise above the quirks of human nature (which you will do beautifully).

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 19). Wonders are on the horizon. The excitement you felt as a child will be rekindled in the first days of this solar return. You'll sacrifice a bit of comfort and security to get what you want in April and deem the exchange so worth it. The sweetness of love is a theme in June and July, when you'll demonstrate your heart time and again. Sagittarius and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 2, 33 and 19.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Once upon a time, before January was the start of the year and before Lunar New Year was the start of the year, for many ancient civilizations, the passage of the chariot sun into Aries was the true signal to reset the calendar and start new. The sun in the sign of the lamb balanced out the day and night and got the season off to a promising start. Historically, this is a time of year when humans considered it their duty to keep the gods happy. Content gods, it was believed, don't punish humankind with such things as earthquakes and volcanoes. Keeping the gods fed, well-loved and highly honored was a deal that ancient people made with nature that seemed to work in favor of humans, except when it didn't.

Are you superstitious? This is the week when your beliefs could very well become self-fulfilling prophecies. So if you have a tendency to indulge the occasional irrational assumption, you might as well skew this in your favor by believing that the universe is colluding to please and benefit you. While you're at it, consider creating and executing rituals that reinforce the idea.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: A little-known fact about Pisces Bruce Willis is that he overcame the stutter he wrestled with for the first 20 years of his life before he rose to fame. The A-list movie star and producer was born when the sun and communication planet Mercury were in sensitive Pisces. His having Saturn in Scorpio suggests he has great power through the integration of subconscious and conscious desire.
