The moon goes void of course for a few hours, casting the strange light of doubt onto our interactions. What do people want from one another? Are they acting out of kindness or self-interest? The Pisces moon allays suspicions with an empathetic vibration. What's most likely is that everyone wants just about the same thing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be most attracted to scenes filled with emotion and human interest. Your comfort level in such situations makes you the perfect social director. You'll lead others toward peaceable interaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You've transitioned into a new schedule, and it's now taking less effort to go through the motions. Your extra reserves of energy can be applied to doing some research on your next project.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You accept responsibilities willingly, but only if you're first convinced that you should really be the rightful owner. You are right to be skeptical. Someone will try to pass off a job that you needn't take on.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whatever your belief or creed, you will feel it tug at your conscience now. You'll want to illustrate your beliefs in some tangible way to make sure that your life and heart are congruent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Venus is still smiling on you. Your confidence is smooth and tucked away, yet unmistakable. This is your chance to get the support you need to launch a project.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are downright telepathic, sensing the needs and feelings of others. But you may find it difficult to accurately name your own emotions and requirements. A gentle Pisces will help in this regard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The sun continues to offer a fluff and fold to your ego. Enjoy the fresh energy that comes from feeling that everything is going your way — or could go your way at any moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though it's wonderful to anticipate future events, today the intense magic and opportunity will be enclosed in commonplace occurrences such as the laughter of a loved one or a casual, friendly exchange.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may have set out to find fame and fortune, but your journey is no longer about such superficial gains. You'll be reminded that there are more important reasons why you must succeed in your quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Willpower is like a muscle you can flex and use — but not indefinitely. Fatigue is a real concern. So let up on yourself. Alternate between being very disciplined and very relaxed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one who used to listen to you and act on your advice is now someone to whom you should be listening. Sooner or later the student always becomes the teacher.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Interactions will be laced with nuance as you receive quiet attention from someone who finds you attractive. The least obvious expressions of love can be the most memorable.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). Born in the early degrees of Libra, your soul lights up when exposed to surprising art and rare beauty. Your year will be filled with such encounters as you place yourself in environments both artistic and natural. October changes your living arrangement. November brings additions to your team and also to your family. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 23, 14, 9 and 40.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I caught my female boss kissing one of the married employees in the stock room of our company. Am I obligated to tell anyone? I don't think anyone saw me. I'm a Cancer. This has been bothering me for weeks now, and I've even dreamt about it. In my dreams, I get fired. Anyway, if I were the wife of the man in question, I would want to know."

There are many situations in which the onus would be on you to get involved. For instance, if you were an owner or board member of the company, the boss of these workers, or a close personal relation or friend to either party. You are among the most sensitive of the water signs, and psychic tension bothers you more than it does other people. But being a caring and conscientious Cancer is not reason enough to step out of the boundaries of "your own business." These consenting adults will make their own mistakes and work out their own problems. Try to focus on your own professional aims and performance while you let this one play out without any involvement from you.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Nobel Prize winner T.S. Eliot suffered health problems as a boy that kept him indoors and in love with the escape he found inside books. This literary Libra was born when Mercury, Venus and Uranus were all in this visual sign, promising a talent for the language of imagery. "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood." — T.S. Eliot.
