When was the last time you gave anonymously? By definition, an anonymous act of kindness will not bring reward, partly because no one will know who did the deed and partly because the anonymous act of kindness is the reward. A lucky trine of the sun and Saturn occurs until June 16, highlighting matters of personal and social responsibility.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's a gleam in your eye as you set your heart on a fresh adventure. People connect with you. In fact, before this day is through, you will have brought more than one person out of a funk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). How fast things can change! By afternoon, you'll know why the morning's plan wasn't comprehensive enough. A new attack on the problems of the day will yield results by bedtime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Make yourself comfortable in your own lifestyle. This won't require money so much as organizational skills and the ability to set some limits, especially with your nearest and dearest.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like companionship, but you also realize that life can be prosperous and great without it, too. Being versatile and not the least bit needy makes you the ideal partner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your talent for self-reflection will be highlighted, as will your ability to assess your relationships clearly. When it's not working, it's nobody's fault. You'll take on the responsibility to fix it yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is one big wonderful journey, and you don't feel wed to the road map. You don't even feel wed to the road itself. Figuratively, your vehicle is capable of an off-road adventure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of your more discerning moods takes hold, and you wonder why you should accept what's given when you clearly can negotiate or charm your way into better options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In addition to the family you were born into, you have created and maintained a family of friends. You'll enjoy the fact that you can choose the cast of characters that accompanies you in your personal story.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's no end to what fascinates you. You're enthralled with human history, nature, children, love, sunshine, dew, gravity... The hard part is quieting your brilliant mind at the end of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your relationship with extended family will influence your day. If you're married, this may have to do with your in-laws. You'll pave the way for peaceful future interactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sameness leads to staleness. It takes more effort to mix things up, but keep striving for variety. It allows you to better enjoy the things that give you pleasure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are creative at your core, though it doesn't always present itself in the way some people think creativity would. Artistic talent is only one small sector of the broad spectrum of your gifts.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You don't need symbols of success in order to feel good about yourself, but you'll still enjoy the signs that you are growing rich and powerful. The next six weeks bring many such signs. An educational pursuit will connect you with new friends in August. October is best for travel. Wedding bells ring in December. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 4, 31 and 29.

12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the energy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkwardness. Virgo's lesson in social graces can be found in books.

Manners and social behaviors are usually learned at home. There are very few people in the world who seek literary instruction on etiquette, which automatically puts those readers ahead of the game — and that's just where Virgos like to be. The sign of self-improvement, Virgo knows the secret: Limiting yourself to the manners you grew up with ensures that you only will feel completely comfortable when you're with people like you. Learning customs and formalities beyond the familiar opens the world to you.

A person should never feel ashamed or embarrassed by what they don't know. Ruled by Mercury, Virgos love knowledge and are quite often avid readers on many topics. Finding out the way to formally dine, make small talk or take a meeting can be as exciting a read as any adventure novel because it paves the way for the reader to create their own adventure: the epic journey to social ease.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Happy birthday to "Glee" star Kevin McHale, who broke Hollywood stereotypes with his characterization of the wheelchair-bound Artie Abrams. McHale does not need a wheelchair himself and, in fact, is considered by his cast mates to be a top dancer on the show. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the messenger with winged feet. McHale's natal sun, moon, Mercury and Venus are all in Gemini.
