In the after-party of the full moon, we sort through the fallout of decisions made on Tuesday. If the Capricorn moon were a government, it would operate on a spoils system, not a meritocracy. The winner gives all supporters a position to reward their loyalty. Today's Aquarius moon keeps us busy trying to figure out how everyone fits in.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). At moments today you'll feel like you're in a movie and will find yourself looking around for the camera. But don't be self-conscious. Go with the flow, and enjoy a new adventure.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's good to sometimes be involved in helping others or fixing their problems. But if things don't feel right when you're not helping, there's a bigger problem to handle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pet peeves have a way of growing from Chihuahuas into Great Danes. Don't let minor irritations overwhelm you today. Smile and keep little annoyances on a short leash.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be aware of what you can do to affect your distant future. A few timely measures made over the course of the next six weeks will make a remarkable difference in where you stand five years from now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfinished business is simply love that hasn't been put in motion yet. Give your love. When you're feeling afraid, it's a signal that you have more love to give, and you should do so ASAP.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are knowledgeable people around you. You will be actively learning and taking the notes to prove it. You'll need this information later, so be sure to keep it in an accessible place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever mood you're in, you'll get more of the same. So the ability to change an uncomfortable mood or raise a neutral one to something cheerful will be the key to your well-being.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seize the day — but not too hard. Clinging will restrict the flow of spontaneity that makes your time so engaging. Remember that slow, steady steps are just as important as big leaps.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The Norse deity Thor threw his hammer and caused lightning and thunder. Someone you know has an equally intimidating temper, but you have a way of neutralizing this person's negative powers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Others may upset your timetable. They are not intentionally trying to mess you up; it's just that their needs don't fit nicely into the schedule. You'll rise to the challenge by staying flexible and positive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually it's not about the money. Your other interests have to be fulfilled before a dollar amount matters to you. This won't be the case now, though. A dollar amount will be crucial to your satisfaction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's a certain urgency to your work objectives. A job must be done right and done quickly. You have a short amount of time to get things up to speed and on track.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 5). The guidance you seek shows up in the next five weeks. You'll know what you're supposed to be doing, and you'll follow through with it. This month features exciting dates. August is a social high, as well. New doors open on the work front in September. An investment brings easy profit in November. March is educational. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 25, 49, 15 and 18.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Pisces and am having trouble with my feet. I had a sprained ankle, and it never really healed right. I keep falling off of my shoes at inopportune times, not that there is any good time to fall off of your shoe. Thank goodness I haven't been seriously hurt, but I've been left scraped up, limping and embarrassed numerous times now. I wonder whether there's some spiritual reason for why I keep reinjuring myself. I know that Pisces rules the feet."

Feet are the lowliest parts of the body, and yet they are magnificent strength and balance machines. Reflexology experts believe that massaging the feet can have a restorative effect on the rest of the body. In Asia, it is rude to point the sole of your foot at another person, because it's such a humble and potentially filthy body part. And yet many Asians celebrate the footprint of Buddha as a holy symbol. In summary, the feet are more complex than they seem. Take that, brain and heart! As for your recent penchant for tripping yourself up in embarrassing ways, you can probably take it as a metaphor. The tripping problem can be fixed with shoes that fit and support you. The life problem can be fixed with people who do the same.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In his time, he was the greatest showman alive. P.T. Barnum famously founded the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. An intuitive Cancer water sign, he brought the first aquarium to America. What moon do you think Barnum was born under? Leo, of course. Barnum also had Venus in Leo, the sign of the entertainer.
