The Pisces moon is a guru on the hill. Like all good gurus, she wouldn't dream of saying "follow me," and yet pilgrims continue to make the treacherous trek up the mountain to ask her what it all means. You don't have to go to such an effort now. All you have to do is look up and wonder. Enlightened answers pop into your head.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're independent and won't hesitate to get up and go where you're drawn. Your whim is especially fortunate this afternoon. Feel like pushing it to the limit? Involving a Sagittarius person doubles your luck.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Radical changes in your approach are featured. You'll shake it up and blow the minds of a few who thought they knew you well. Tonight, the children in your life remind you to stay playful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's a terrific time for close relationships because you're open to seeing things the other person's way. You validate people around you, and so they're crazy about you — can you blame them?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ponder this one: Why believe in statistics, when they can never predict the outcome for any one individual? You now defy the odds, whether or not you know what those odds are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's more competition and greater obstacles than you counted on. Luckily, the game is long, with many matches. Champions keep going until they win. Tonight, acknowledge a loved one's contribution.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 14). Are you ready for poetry? Romance? Dare I say fun? A financial breakthrough helps fund all of the above. Money can't buy love, but it doesn't hurt in May. People who've made wrong calls about you will eat their words in June. July moves you to change your methods — maybe move to a new area and make money in a new way. Leo and Aries people help. Lucky numbers are: 8, 1, 14, 49 and 7.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The story that's told by appearances isn't the whole truth. The one who looks like a past love sure doesn't act the same! A Sagittarius person makes you a winning proposition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're talented, that much is obvious. But how deep does this ability go? Put in the work, and you'll find out that you're good enough for the big leagues. A Capricorn person is the ideal coach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have the gift of economy. Much can be done with very little effort and a solid plan. But if there are instructions for the task you face, model yourself after the one you admire.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Creative endeavors have luck. So go ahead and change your hairstyle, shoot some pictures or rearrange your furniture. Even just listening — really listening — to music will ignite your vitality.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Amidst a hailstorm of projects and responsibilities, loved ones pile on more for you to handle. This is a blessing in disguise, forcing you to focus like never before ... or at least better than you were.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You party child! If anyone knows how to have a good time, it's you! Everyone follows your lead now. An unexpected phone call brings exciting news and possibly travel.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What was in your way is completely surmountable. You get by with a little help from your friends. And to make matters more interesting, someone you thought was against you turns out to be a wonderful ally.

ASTROLOGICAL MONEYSCOPE: Groucho Marx said: "Money is a good thing to have. It frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy."

GEMINI: Finances get a boost when you expand goals of self-development. CANCER: You have caviar tastes, but when the bill comes around, it's a shock. Try buying in bulk.

LIBRA: Having team members with different strengths and weaknesses will be key to your success. SCORPIO: Be proactive. Self-assigned tasks are lucky for your bank account. SAGITTARIUS: Belief in yourself is something you can take all the way to the bank. CAPRICORN: Any investment that makes your environment more beautiful has numerous benefits.
