Pluto, the dwarf planet that likes to awaken dormant forces, will get on with the business of tapping on the very foundation of relationships and matters of identity, testing for structural integrity with a retrograde that lasts through September. What a way to start off the Taurus solar journey. Expect a profound and memorable turn of events.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because something looks cool doesn't make it cool — but it's half the battle. Your work's success hangs in the balance of a kind of seduction. Give equal weight to style and content for the win.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be pleased by the logical and linear nature of today's challenges; a very satisfying and solvable puzzle lies before you. Each solution will be the first clue to the next problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you keep making allowances, you'll bankrupt the project, fall short of the goal or possibly not even move the needle at all. So don't give yourself any loopholes. Be strict.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won't be able to keep yourself from fear. If you tell yourself to relax and calm down it will only make you more anxious. Invite the fear in. Make room for it; make friends with it. Fear will soon dissipate and lose its power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The dancer believes that the soul is exposed in the dance. The artist believes it's in the lines; the writer reads it in words. Today, you'll see the soul revealed in daily life and gain deep insights into yourself and others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The more you have to talk yourself into something, the stronger the likelihood is that it's a terrible, horrible, no-good idea. At best, it's a waste of time you could spend doing almost anything else, including napping.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You thought about it in a radical way back when you were new. Now that you're experienced, you understand the nuances and will hold a more conservative viewpoint.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Reciprocity is a tenet you live by. If you won't be able to return a favor, you won't take anyone up on it in the first place. Just remember that you don't always have to give back the same thing, just something of equal value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What's unfair to one person is unfair to all. Standing up for another person's rights is standing up for your own. Those who lack empathy will prove to be, in the long run, unfortunate company.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of your many dreaded dangers, very few are reasonable; even fewer are probable. Quite likely, the number of these fears that will come to anything is approximately zero.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like to do good works anonymously. Charitable acts are humble acts. If it has to be publicized, it's more a matter of pride and identity-shaping than heart and generosity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It does seem to be the case that, on certain days, your chances of winning the game are the same whether your play or not. However, that's not the point. Play. Winning isn't everything.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 20). You've a playful heart this solar journey, but you'll still get some serious business accomplished over the next 10 weeks. New people enter your personal life, and you'll participate in a lot of teamwork. There's a creative venture in July and travel in October. This is not a year for financial risk. Save instead. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 30, 25, 50 and 11.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I recently got a bad critique from my superior at work. Others have been criticized as well, but the negative reviews do not seem to affect them the way my review has affected me. I toss and turn at night. I don't want to go to work because I feel like everyone is looking at me and thinking about what my boss said. Maybe they aren't. People are probably too busy doing their own things to obsess about my poor review. But it feels that way. I'm humiliated and ashamed, and ever since I had the review, I'm doing worse at work instead of better. Leos aren't supposed to be so sensitive. How can I overcome this?"

Every sign is sensitive in its own way. Leo has an ego, just like anyone. Your pride is hurt. The experience was deeply wounding. But you have nothing to be ashamed of, and you need to snap out of it and let it go. Do not take this review personally. Your work isn't about who you are as a person; it's about how well your production matches up to what is needed by the company. Develop resiliency. Successful workers bounce back — and that's just what you have to do.
