Shoot for the Moon

By Holiday Mathis

The Sagittarius moon aims the arrow toward adventure with lunar trines to Neptune and Saturn, lit by Aries fire. Ideas travel faster under this sky. Plans that once felt theoretical suddenly have wings. Adventure begins with a question and ends with so many more questions, but try to follow the first one through. It just may zip open the world.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're attracted to what's interesting, and what's interesting is attracted to you. So there's no work to be done. Magnets don't have to work to come together. Their nature does all the pulling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're coming into your own. People are listening more closely, asking your opinion and letting you call more of the shots that matter. Money may be involved, though money itself isn't power. How it's used is what counts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don't be too quick to get involved today. The issues are far more complex than they look. If you get in too deep today, it may be difficult to back out gracefully. Instead of jumping in, just dip in a toe.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your hard work doesn't seem to be getting you there fast enough. Try narrowing your focus. This will help you see the result clearly, at least in one area, which will inspire and motivate you to continue the mission.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've come to a fork in the road. Gather as much information as you can. If possible, call someone who's been here before. Once you pick a direction, its reversal, though not impossible, will be awkward and time-consuming.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you think about the people you enjoy being around, you rank pretty high on the list — as it should be. Your kind of fun is very specific and satisfying to you. Today, it involves thinking deeply or working hard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's OK not to understand everything right away. Let experience marinate. It's better when the information assimilates in its own time and gels when it has relevance to your current life. It all clicks when you're ready to do something about it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It seems you can't proceed before certain conditions are met, but this is a lie that grows from the fear of getting started. Truly, you can start from exactly where you are. Action will call the missing pieces into place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What worked beautifully a few weeks ago isn't delivering the same results now. Has the situation really changed that much? In a word: yes. Conditions have shifted. Update your approach while the adjustment is still simple.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you haven't decided your financial plan, someone else will decide for you. You're being constantly marketed to. It's a time to get specific about what you actually value and what will make your life feel rich.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Every relationship has a story. Each story is a point of view. Perhaps the way you're seeing a relationship isn't helping you feel powerful within it. The truth can be seen in many ways — painted in light brushstrokes or heavy ones.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A kindness you gave long ago boomerangs back in a slightly different form — a reminder of all you do, much of it unconsciously, just being yourself in the world. Every move matters at least a little, and some quite a lot.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 6). It's your Starlit Year. You've the uncanny ability to cast special light on the events of your life. The way you see things impacts your destiny. The soft light of your positive thoughts makes for tender relationships. You easily imagine a warm glow or a glamorous sparkle, and events follow suit. More highlights: You'll hit a jackpot. Education and social refinement lead to opportunity. The family story develops in proud ways. Aquarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 1, 18, 4 and 22.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The ever-young and always fun Paul Rudd plays a wedding singer who befriends a boy band heartthrob played by Nick Jonas in the new comedy "Power Ballad." Whether Rudd is playing a dad, a sensitive dreamboat, an idiot brother or an Ant-Man, the Aries actor, screenwriter and producer exemplifies the passionate fire of his sign with the trademark Aries qualities of spontaneity and youthfulness on tap.
