Creativity is turned way up as this Mardi Gras parades under an artful Pisces moon. To prepare for the lunar reset tomorrow, think about what you could ask of yourself this month. Worthy aims to consider include calming your soul, deepening your understanding of what it means to be human and broadening your observations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The habit of doing something nice for someone else has become a part of your life. Giving makes you feel good, and the way your gifts are received almost doesn't matter — almost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Like a physician vowing to do no harm, or a postal worker delivering mail in all kinds of weather, you will carry out a defining act with sacred consistency.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A mental match is critical for friendships, love and certain business decisions. When you admire a person's way of thinking, a frequent exchange of ideas, plans and daily dealings will be enjoyable.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In your social life, you are exceptionally sharp and will be present to the requirements of the situation. Your appeal is palpable. You'll find yourself in a position of having to manage the attention coming your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Perhaps you've been overly opinionated or not as productively focused as you would like, but at least you're self-aware! Acknowledge your imperfect humanity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've meandered before, so you know the precious gift that clarity can be. You will approach the work ahead with the efficiency of one who is certain of the next steps.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even though you're an excellent planner, you can't think of everything. Build flexibility into the design. Leave room for last-minute additions, changes and fixes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some say life wasn't meant to be fun. But what if they are wrong? Test the theory. When you're not having fun, do something else. Does this simple tactic improve things?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The more friendliness and warmth you display, the more boundaries you need to impose. Clarify your preferences and the limits of what you're willing to do. The emotional fences are what enable generosity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once you find your groove, all goes smoothly. But how do you find it? Be willing to cover a lot of ground and keep going until you hit it. Then things will get easy, and all you will have to do is stick with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). By feeding your insatiable curiosity, you have learned quite a bit that will prove valuable to others. However, you should only share your knowledge with those who seek it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A high number of online followers isn't necessarily social proof that you're a good friend, but what you do this afternoon is! You'll be there for someone who is important to you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 1). Loving relationships are your forte, and you'll show and share your love all year. However, it's the you-to-you relationship that fortifies and fuels many life-changing achievements. Later, with your win in hand, you'll look back and understand that self-acceptance and positive internal dialogue is at the root of your blossoming. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 3, 20 and 15.

COSMIC QUESTION: "None of my lucky charms are working. I guess I need a new one. I used to carry a crystal. When that quit working, I carried a rabbit's foot, but everyone commented on how cruel it was so I stopped. After that, I put a lucky $2 bill in my wallet but one day I didn't have money for the parking garage and I had to use it. Can you suggest a lucky charm for me that will really work? I'm a Cancer."

A lucky charm is a highly personal item. Part of what gives it luck is that you like it so much you are willing to stick by it and infuse it with your best wishes and visions of your desired future. You've "broken up" with quite a few charms now, so I challenge you to marry one. Take a vow to stick together in good fortune and bad. When things don't go your way, use your charm as a kind of reset button. Hold it and think about the lesson you learned and the new way you want to be going forward. Charms to consider for a water sign such as yourself: pearl, coral, mother of pearl and silver.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In the recent video for "Ghost," Justin Bieber is the grieving son who helps his recently widowed mother (played by Diane Keaton) give a proper send-off to Dad. Perhaps the preponderance of Pisces natal energy (sun, Venus and Saturn) helped Bieber hold his own next to a legendary actress. Pisces is the sign of old souls and sensitive artists. Bieber has Mercury in musical Aquarius, and Uranus and Neptune are in Capricorn, the sign of moguls.
