Mars raises the anchor, pulls away from the dock and begins a journey at sea with today's transit into Pisces. Action turns intuitive, guided less by force and more by feel. What if progress were more about listening than doing? What if we sensed currents and rode them? What if we gave in to the waves of imagination that are swelling all around us?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Through your gift for vivid fantasy, you feel what it's like to live in a world filled with all you value and aspire to, and you can really see it. When you touch back to reality, you use this as a compass.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A little bit of research will show better options, but a lot of research may show you so much that it confuses the issue. Be strategic and to the point, limiting your inquiry process to a few hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your natural mode is curiosity, and you love experimentation, so the unsolicited advice from those who seem to take joy in cautioning you against this and that can feel annoying. It might be more about their need for control than your safety.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many kinds of justice to be served, including, notably, justice of the poetic variety. A quiet, satisfying ripple of irony washes over the moment. You'll be validated in some way, and the poetic symmetry of it all will be delicious.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're a giver. Even when you're receiving, you're giving. So how do you stay fortified? By rooting yourself where you'll flourish. Keep in mind that there are no universally correct environments. A cactus thrives in the desert, a vine in the jungle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's like the day keeps slipping you small gifts — little surprises to remind you you're unique and essential to how it's all going. Life is collaborating with you and enjoying the collaboration.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're hearing a lot today that either doesn't quite hit you the right way or doesn't quite ring true. When honest words aren't pleasing and pleasing words aren't honest, you'll take a step back and reassess more than just these sentences.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Love is as love does. Put stock in action. It's not that words matter less today; it's that they hardly matter at all because irrefutable truth is in how people treat one another, and the difference that makes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Societal standards of beauty are ever-changing because beauty relies on freshness. Yes, fashions come back around, trends resurface, but it's never exactly the same twice. You'll love the version of a classic you knew well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're not sure what you're going to get in a relationship these days. But through the tension, tenderness, friction and fun, you're reminded that the long haul has many chapters and moods, and that's what makes it meaningful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People with influence will be impressed with your confidence, ease, curiosity, discernment and how you listen and carry yourself. Don't talk shop too soon. It can flatten all your vibes into transactional relationships. Feel this out over time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Seems like yesterday's solution is becoming today's problem, which only means the world is turning on its typical axis. Still, you'll have a joyful moment of appreciation for this unique set of less-than-ideal circumstances.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 2). Welcome to your Year of Profound Belonging. You'll work and play in teams that are more like family. There is much to learn and do in the safety of healthy groups where love, talent and vision lift all. More highlights: Financial ease and professional recognition. You'll try new endeavors, and your daring and commitment blossom into versions of your best self. Inspiration will often strike at midnight. Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 27, 14, 39 and 22.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: After the artistic and financial success of the "Music of the Spheres" tour, Chris Martin announced over 100 more upcoming show dates, signaling momentum that feeds on itself when inspiration meets audience devotion. Martin's natal sun and Mercury are in ethereal Pisces, with moon and Saturn in entertaining Leo. His native flexibility indicates a go-with-the-flow attitude, with pops of excitement from the theatrical Leo realm.
