The Pisces moon brings a denouement before the weekend's closing curtain. Conflicts are resolved, scores are settled, tension is released. The recounting of recent events reveals that we are indeed better off for all the work and play that filled the past few days.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In your opinion, excessive flirting just looks ridiculous. You know exactly how thick to lay on the flattery and attention. You'll like what comes from using your talent for flirting appropriately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your ability or inability to accomplish something is defined solely by your will. If you want something enough, you will do what it takes to get there regardless of the obstacles you encounter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your sign mate Walt Whitman said, "Keep your face always toward the sunshine — and the shadows will fall behind you." Given your optimistic mood, that will be an easy thing to do now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Socially conscious, you're worried about making things all about you or pulling too much focus from the rest of the group. But don't worry. You're supposed to be the central character in today's story.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day features lingering feelings and a tendency to go over (and over) the recent past in your mind. It will benefit you to stop rereading this chapter of your life so you can start writing a new one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If it seems too good to be true, that's probably because you just haven't worked out in your head what's in it for the other person. Realizing all the other person has to gain will impact your decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Perhaps no one will throw a parade for you if you take time to do simple things the right way. But there's a certain sacred elegance in adhering to your own quiet method.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your day is best summed up by the French expression c'est la vie. In other words, that is just the way life is. Acceptance is key to staying emotionally even, which is the most powerful way to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Contrary to the saying, you absolutely can judge a book by its cover. You won't know the story, but you'll certainly know the sensibility of the publisher and author. Trust your first impression.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your solid earth-sign nature keeps you cautiously guarded against the wave of change, a wave that is going to crash regardless of how you feel. The prospect is either exciting or scary. Or both. Definitely both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The future is knitted together out of the yarn of the present. So by being and interacting fully in the present, you are forming the future. A playful, joyful present equals a future of the same feeling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The compassion you give to yourself is the most precious kind. You'll have the sense that all is forgiven. Truly you can let bygones be bygones and begin anew at any moment.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 10). An important gain is made in the next 10 weeks. This is what you've been working toward, and it's finally happening for you! Family bonds are strengthened with the help of friends and outside counsel. You'll travel in a tight group through September. There's a financial win in October. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 24, 15 and 28.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Jupiter has been traveling in Taurus since June 4, 2011, focusing his big, lucky personality and abundance mentality on the areas that Taurus rules: banks, property, gyms, spas, resorts, the arts, gems, gold and luxury-oriented businesses. The phrase associated with Taurus, "I have," is a call that is naturally answered by the "I have-nots" — cue the Wall Street protesters.

A new Jupiter cycle starts this week. On Monday, Jupiter enters Gemini, the realm of communication. As most people already are inundated with options for communicating, such as phone calls, texts, social media applications, photo sharing, email, snail mail, pinning, gaming and blogging, it's hard to imagine how any new lines of communication could possibly enhance our lives. But don't worry, the nature of Gemini is to smooth the way for connecting with others. So maybe the first order of business for Jupiter in Gemini is to make all of the aforementioned communication methods easier and more accessible for everyone. The trend-setting energy of Gemini promises that there will be a few new and exciting surprises that take off with Facebook-startup velocity between now and June 25, 2013.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The Obama family's youngest daughter, Sasha, may be growing up in the spotlight with the Secret Service standing by, but her Gemini versatility suggests she's the type to roll with whatever life brings and enjoy whatever the new "normal" may be. Sasha has the chart of a brainiac in the making, with seven luminaries in intellectual air signs.
