Sure, there are many important things to be besides "happy." And yet, should the buzz of happiness be such a rare occurrence? At the very least, doesn't everyone deserve to feel healthy, safe and loved? If that's not the norm lately, the position of the sun to Saturn today will help you find ways to turn the trend around.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The warrior learns to fight but also to defend, starting with defending the self. You know better than to leave yourself open and vulnerable. If you decide to do this, let it be a strategy, not an oversight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The truth can be treated like some amorphous mystical thing you have to quest after, or it can be as simple as getting the facts straight about reality. Opt for the second treatment today, if only in the interest of saving time

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). On a winning team, not everyone in the group has to be a superstar. In fact, the unit is better off for the less-skilled individuals involved. They make everyone watch closer and double-check the work.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's money in finding your niche. You don't have to create it. This is a process of discovery, the key to which lies in becoming extremely clear about what you'd like to see and what you want to happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sometimes wonder, as you pursue your curiosities, if all of this is adding up to anything. Rest assured, learning is not wasted or lost on you. You'll convert today's information into insight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Honesty includes what you know and what you don't know. Gaining and maintaining awareness of both parts of the equation will be your key to wisdom today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The principle of inclusion will be manifest in today's happenings. Of course, this is just how you are generally, making sure not to leave anyone out. You will casually but carefully maintain social balance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Can you dedicate more time and space to listening to another person? It will take initiative, because there is so much else going on right now for both of you. But without the effort, this relationship bond will weaken.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have many interests. One of them is strengthening into something beyond a mere pastime or pursuit. It's becoming a belief and a lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you find today's happenings bemusing, this is nothing to keep to yourself. Speak up and similarly confounded people around you will, too. The confusion only proves that you are paying close attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have friends in high places, low places and a lot of places in between. You'll use those contacts in interesting ways in the weeks to come. Some of them could stand to be refreshed. Reach out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Knowing that you're included in a circle of people is comforting, but this is not your only or even your primary source of solace. The feeling that you belong to yourself as well — that's more than comfort. That's serenity.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 17). You've wished for a work life that's colorful and exciting, and that's what you'll get this year. The next 10 weeks will be healing for family ties. Love and friendship will be the outcropping of a May project. An investment will pay off in June. You'll profit from a series of sales, beginning with a big one in September. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 44, 49, 21 and 15.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: "I moved in with my guy six months ago. At the start we both chipped in for the bills, and I was the one to physically send them in. Now he often doesn't have the money to chip in so I'm paying most of it. Last month his mom paid his share — his mom! It's not like he's not working. He works with his brother, and hangs out with his brother and even has a bank account with his brother. I think he loves his brother more than me. He's a Gemini; his brother is a Gemini. I am a Taurus. What do you think?"

You didn't say whether your guy is a twin, but all Geminis are twins and their sibling bonds are intense beyond most people's understanding. It's not that your guy is incapable of having a mature relationship with someone who is not his bro, but if he is spending more time with his brother than you, and also being more financially responsible to him than he is to you, it all adds up to his brother being his real "significant other." Love is a quality of attention. If there's anything a Taurus knows, it's quality. He's not up to it, so move on.
