Your best — that's all you can do, and it's always going to be enough. Note that your best is going to be something different from moment to moment. The Aries moon suggests that your best will be in a sweet spot between the lazy way and the way of desperately trying to do too much. (Both of those extremes serve no one.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Knowledge is the bread of life, and taking action is the meaty part of the sandwich. But constant action will be the thing that makes a difference. No one can live long off one sandwich.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The change you desire is coming, though not immediately. Don't worry about the schedule. Every time you practice moving toward the goodness of life, you create momentum in that direction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don't let the obstacles get in the way of what you want to do. If you can't figure out how to conquer or control them, there is great power in ignoring them. Eventually, the troubles will fall away all by themselves.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Water transports nutrients and chemical messages to the vital organs. Being even 2 cups dehydrated can cause a mood swing in a negative direction. Stay happy. Stay hydrated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don't be afraid to try new things. Whatever you get into today, there will be a way out. It may be about going back. It may be about climbing up. But more than likely, the way out is through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To be alive is different from feeling alive. You notice the difference particularly when you're around a certain person. That quickening — there's nothing quite like it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You didn't get yourself into this position, but you're still the one who has to get yourself out of it. Buddha said: "No one saves us but ourselves. No one can, and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It turns out that the small things that make life great — enjoying the sun, breathing fresh, sweet air, a wholesome taste, a gentle touch — are not such small things after all. Just ask anyone who can't do them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Dare to leave your safety zone at least once a day. It doesn't have to be a big gesture. Just enough to trigger your fear will do. Success sequence: Trigger your fear; overcome; repeat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When the pressure builds and you start feeling anxious — some days, that would be a sign to press on through. Not this time. Take a break! There's nothing good that comes from overwork today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People experience their own state of mind for their own reasons. You may be caught in the emotional weather of this, but don't take it any more personally than you would an actual rainstorm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Here's a way to avoid worrying about where to take a relationship next. At some point in your interaction, lay down the groundwork for your next interaction, whatever you want that to be. Envision it, and act on that picture.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 18). Life's process is working. You trust it, and you are steadily growing into who you want to be. The victory in May will be hard-won (and that's the only kind worth anything). In August, you've an opportunity to turn a potential misfortune into a future fortune. Someone special helps you further develop your talent in September. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 7, 39 and 45.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: One would think that every decade lived would bring a huge leap of understanding about the basics of life. Nope. Not really. What comes with maturity isn't so much tremendous knowing as it is a willingness to admit what you don't know — and that's actually an extremely useful perk of age. People may be attracted to others who share their knowledge, but that connection becomes a bond through a shared sense of wonder, common questions and vulnerabilities.

Tuesday brings the spring equinox. The sun enters the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, which represents new life. Don't be afraid to start over. There's luck in being the new guy or girl. Beginnings will bring bonuses and other twists of unexpected good fortune. Attitude will be key in this. There's nothing worse than a newbie who comes into a situation too insecure to ask questions. Don't assume or pretend to know anything, or you'll bug those who do. Not to mention that assumed knowledge closes you off to learning.

The early week will be the luckiest time to kick off your project, your class, a relationship or another endeavor. By Thursday, things get more complicated because Mercury goes retrograde.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is a musical Pisces with Mars in that artistic sign, as well. Levine was born when the moon was in sensual Scorpio, a position that indicates magnetic appeal and either an intensely private or a shocking public nature. Levine falls into the latter category, as he's known to bare all for a good cause, which he did to promote awareness of testicular cancer.
