The Pisces moon promotes unreality. These days many find their favorite unreality on the Internet, where the social ties are never double knots and perception can be relatively easily manipulated. Try not to let the virtual world swallow your real world. "Oh wow I just looked up — it's so great — try it!" — Tweet by Sarah Silverman, Sagittarius

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your perception of yourself will be colored by the reaction you see on the faces of others. That's why it will be important to seek like-minded peers who share your brand of humor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Difficult people will choose the opposite point of view from yours whether or not it's how they really feel. Their objections might be ridiculous, but their willingness to object will be constant. Avoid these types now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's your turn to be effortlessly loveable. No amount of trying or not trying to fit in will matter; you're simply magnetic. You will be embraced, both metaphorically and actually.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're ready for adventure, but the adventure isn't quite ready for you yet. Arrangements are still coming together. Trust that things are moving in the right direction while you wait.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No matter what you know, there are always deeper levels of knowledge to reach. This applies to your work today. It's like you're understanding something for the first time all over again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being right is not as important to you as being happy. In this regard, you're not like the others around you. You'll be off having a good time while they fight to prove their rightness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When what you're doing looks wonderful, others may be tempted to copy you. You can prevent anyone from stealing your thunder by keeping your work under wraps.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Avoid routinely wasting time. New technology or services will help you simplify the processes of your daily life. What was once difficult suddenly will be easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Let people know what you're up to and the timeframe for your plan. There are many distractions around now, and without specific markers of time to keep you on track, you could drift off course.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You probably don't remember last night's dreams, but they were healing in some way. So what was difficult yesterday will be better today because your mind was made fresh.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Being a giver, you're always pleased when what's needed is exactly what you can supply. This happens today. You'll sense a strong emotional need in another person, and you'll know you can help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What looks like individual success is often the effort of an entire team. You could handle a task alone, but it won't be much fun that way. Be on the lookout for new sources of support.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 24). The next three months feature an enlivening challenge. You may have to coax yourself along at points, but once you get in the spirit of it, you'll be unstoppable. December features an upgrade of your home, wardrobe or vehicle. January is romantic. March shows you in a different part of the world. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 24, 13 and 19.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I just started a new, very exciting business venture. It's also a bit daunting. I don't want to take it on alone. Who should be a part of my dream team?"

As the king, some Leos mistakenly think that because they can outperform any other animal in the jungle they are invulnerable. What they fail to take into account is the power of a herd or the ferocity of a pack. You are wise indeed for making efforts to gather a bright group around you. However mighty a single person may be, a well-aligned team will always outperform an individual. To figure out what types of people you will need on your team, take into account your own strengths, and look for people with different talents. For instance, since you are so creative, you'll need someone who is a strong organizer to make sure your efforts are consistently aimed toward one goal. A Virgo or Taurus could fit the bill nicely. Also, since you have a knack for performing under pressure and executing short-term efforts, you will do well to have a big-picture thinker to help you with the long-term planning. Consider a Sagittarius or a Capricorn.
