It takes a concentrated effort to weave a charming illusion. This is what makes enchanting people so unusual. Most wouldn't put in the amount of time it takes to pull off the trick, let alone make it look easy, which is where most of the work comes in. Three cosmic squares highlight the need for personal and general amusement. Those who can provide it will be rewarded.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your beliefs are unusually powerful, regardless of where they lie within the realm of probability. So, you may as well believe fun things, for instance, that you are at the beginning of a cycle of prosperity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are a lot of things you need before you embark, for instance, shoes and your house key. A fool-proof plan isn't on the list. You don't have to know what you're doing to venture, create and explore.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Is it fair to rank your days against a single metric, such as staying on a diet, making a certain amount of money or sticking to a routine? There are many beautiful aspects to your experience to celebrate outside the world of your goals.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your body doesn't always cooperate with you the way you would prefer. It could just be a communication issue, as the body and mind have their own distinct languages. Call on intuition to be your translator.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your dreams will not follow the rules of your waking existence; rather, they will cross fanciful boundaries into a poetic realm where time is different, the dead and living intermingle, and invisible forces find expression in the whispering wind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don't let uncontrollable bits of life make you doubt yourself. If you fail these little tests, it won't bring your grade down. No one said you have to be all-powerful. It's enough to be capable and willing to learn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll guide others without making them feel managed. You'll point the way instead of pushing. They'll feel the trust you instill in them, and they'll work to earn it. You'll act because you're driven to do what you think is right and necessary.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Socially, it's better to break the ice than wonder if you should. And if you fell out of touch with someone, you can easily fall back in now. A short interaction is all it takes to get the ball rolling again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One of the many things you have going for you now is that you defy definition, play against assumptions and challenge categorizations. Your uniqueness will keep someone coming back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's not what you do, but how you time it that matters. The same gesture can be seen as weak or strong, graceful or clumsy, controversial or appropriate considering the speed in which it occurs. Master pacing and you'll rule the scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). "Self-taught" is a misnomer. No one really learns alone. First, you'll learn through other people's experiences, then you'll learn through your own, and finally you'll learn by comparing, contrasting and ultimately blending the two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone new has you doing what you normally wouldn't. It's the power of outsiders. An outsider's influence is automatically boosted by virtue of all that is unknown about them. The unknown, being a human's biggest fear, has great energetic potential.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 14). Welcome to your year of keen social instinct. The talent of picking the right person for a role has a thousand wonderful repercussions. You'll cast both personal and professional roles brilliantly. You'll become immersed in the heart of a group and fulfill whatever need you can. More highlights: A fantastic build is made possible by an inheritance or lucky coincidence; you're in the right place to take in a seldom-seen occurrence. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 19, 23, 1 and 13.
