When you choose an action, you choose the consequence of that action (whether or not you know what it is at the time of making your decision). Now Venus enters Taurus and we become suddenly aware of money and the material results we desire. When you choose a consequence, be ready to figure out the action it takes to create that consequence.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). New people are opportunities. You may find yourself pretending you're someone different, which can be fun. Who knows; maybe some of what you try on will suit you well and become part of your standard "wardrobe."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you wait for someone to tell you what to do, you'll be lower than you could be. This is great for concert tickets with arena seating but not much else. Take charge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be strong and flexible of mind. Think of all you can do with a dollar, with an hour, with the position you have. Don't settle for the first idea that comes to mind, because idea five or 12 or 322 could be a better one.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Remind your people that they need what you contribute. There's a cool way to do this. Maybe it's best accomplished by disappearing for a while. It's not a game. People will be better for what they appreciate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you see the path from here to there you can then work your way along it. If you don't see the path, you could work just as hard but who knows where you'll wind up. It doesn't have to be a well-worn path, just one that arrives.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is far easier and better to solve a problem that people already know they have than to try to get people to identify something in their normal, everyday life as problematic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Business people aren't the only ones who set prices. You set prices all of the time without even realizing it. For instance, you're always projecting your worth and letting people know what it takes to be part of your world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you feel like you're being watched? You are. Someone is sizing you up, in fact — observing how you interact with your friends and the world in general. They like what they see.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today your personal life will soar through clear and sunny skies. It's a fine time to acknowledge and thank the crew that's been keeping you on course.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Those who grew up with nothing often see the accumulation of items as wealth, whereas those who grew up with an abundance of things often see minimalism as freedom. Your own views on materialism are changing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Misery loves company, but he doesn't match your outfit, so leave him at home. Your company will embrace you wholeheartedly. Upon your return home you'll find that misery, neglected, has taken leave.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone close to you may be feeling like the side dish to your main course. Maybe it's true. Some dishes are better as complements. Less is demanded of them. Anyway, you'll do what you can to make everyone feel important.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 30). Get serious about developing and employing your talent. You'll earn a stellar reputation, and you'll bank on it before this time next year. Focus on documenting your work in April. The extra effort you make to stand out in a good way will earn you critical acclaim. You'll spend many hours building a very special relationship. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 15, 29, 4 and 13.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Too often the things that make a person more pleased with himself do not also make him more pleasing to others. TAURUS: What you don't do for sheer enjoyment, you'll do for boasting rights. GEMINI: You'll be attracted to those who can relate to your kind of trouble. CANCER: When you assume nothing, you'll learn a whole lot. LEO: Public demonstrations and declarations of love may pass as actual love for a while. VIRGO: Every relationship has three stories: your story, my story and the truth. LIBRA: The connection you have with another is different but better than the one you expected to have. SCORPIO: It was only complicated because there were too many people involved. Now it's simple. SAGITTARIUS: In the best scenario you won't have to choose between friendship and passion. CAPRICORN: While a person's parents may not actually be in the relationship, they are always somehow in the relationship. AQUARIUS: Those who bring out the best in you are also the best for you. PISCES: Holding hands can be absolutely magical.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: As the full Libra moon reflects the glory of the Aries sun on Saturday, natives of these two signs become each other's best fans. The enthusiastic support, adoration and promotion they provide to one another could become a sweet addiction, because who can resist the ego boost this kind of attention fosters? The best part is that the infatuation phase will naturally blend into a more realistic kind of tie.
