Once you start moving, you really can't tell what's going to happen. Though if you don't move, you can be pretty sure that nothing much will. The Virgo lunar influence forms various angles to major planets, spicing up the action for movers and doers with fortuitous lessons, fantasy-inspiring events and a profound coincidence courtesy of Pluto.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In school, we study for the tests to get the grade. Real-life relationships aren't forged in tests. We make the grade through routine pleasant interactions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Games, awards or some kind of competition is featured. If you win, be gracious and brief. If you lose, the same applies. Either way, you're likely to win a friend, acquaintance or at the very least, a new contact.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most people will go wide; you should go deep. Do the best you can do at the thing you do the best and you'll be sprinting past the rest, making a name for yourself, carving out your unique niche.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll be making things and presenting things. Perfection isn't the point. Take a step back. What matters about this? What will people's take away likely be? Speak to that. Any attempts at perfection are misguided.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's not about going slow, it's about creating a sustainable rhythm you can carry out time and time again, a steady march that will get you across the regions to where you want to be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's not always as easy as it seems to figure out what you really want and need because it's different for every person. To see yourself and your needs more accurately is the start to attracting more desirable circumstances.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have charisma to spare. The challenge is in directing it well and handling the attention that comes with it. Which is the most appealing choice. Which is the kindest?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What you're making isn't for everyone, so don't concern yourself with what everyone thinks about it. Cater your efforts specifically to the people for whom they will matter.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The way to happiness will be very simple. Find what matters to you and get deeper into it. Learn it well, do it often, take your understanding and appreciation of it to the highest level you can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Love doesn't always feel like love because it takes on so many forms. Some of the forms, for instance, the more truthful ones, can sting a little but you'll still find them very worthwhile.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Informal gatherings will be part of the fun. The conversation will be interesting, the food delicious. Plus, it will be satisfying to know that you can charm people just by being you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Let someone take care of you. You don't have to be needy to do this, of course. People take care of one another in many different ways. Accepting a little help or tenderness is as good for the relationship as giving it is.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 6). You will claim a fulfilling sense of community in the months to come, involving yourself in scenes that fit nicely with your worldview, interests and with what you have to contribute. Other highlights include a renovation of your domestic digs, a project that gets funded and being a major part of a loved one's advancement. Leo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 33, 31, 2 and 17.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I write stories, and print them out and send them to magazines and book publishers and people I know, and I post the stories on my blog. Well, no one reads them. Or rather, they read them (there's a counter that tells me how many times my blog has been looked at) but they have nothing to say to me afterward. I am irrelevant. I feel like I'm turning invisible. What should I do? I'm a Capricorn, Virgo moon. — Signed Cellophane Man."
Do you know how many people there are who write stories and show them to no one? Give yourself props for being brave and for believing in yourself enough to solicit the reactions and opinions of others. And now it's time for you to tap into your Capricorn business sense. Inside you is a master marketer. But you need to learn to target your audience. Join a writer's group where you can read and share with other writers. Take a class where you can share and talk about your work. You need to find your flock. Once you're mixing with birds of a feather, you'll start to realize that you're not invisible. You're colorful, vibrant and more interesting than most people know what to do with! CELEBRITY PROFILES: Lovely Libran Carole Lombard was born on this day in 1908. The beloved star of drama and comedy was one of the highest paid in the 1930s. Lombard exuded the grace of Venus-ruled Libra, and her Pisces moon was an aspect to give a thespian a leg up. Pisces is the most empathetic of influences, and Pisces moon people slip easily into a character's mindset.
