This is the most industrious day of the week, and thanks to the moon in the sign of power moves, the smart way to use this energy will be more apparent. To work hard at useless endeavors is a tragic waste of time and life. What would you do were you a lazier person? It's the trick question that will help you make the most efficient choice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The first few bars of a song will take you back in time. It will be lucky for you to treat the memory as an invitation to reconnect, review a lesson or marvel at your journey thus far.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Within the limitations of these circumstances, you can still construct a life of your own choosing. Because these surroundings are so familiar to you, it is hard to see all your options. A friend or mentor can help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will receive a gift, but it won't feel like yours until you use it, test it and experience it as an asset. In time, this could become an indispensable tool.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A reputation is a story, and money, in and of itself, is not a story. Reputations cannot be bought, only earned or created. Relatedly, today's financial barriers will be hurdled through nonfinancial means, and to everyone's benefit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The intention to be kind and patient must be reset. Patience in particular will seem connected to a limited reserve and once it runs out, it needs to be restored. A change of scenery can help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll witness a moving scene, or maybe it's moving because you are the witness. Your poetic heart will melt as you surrender to the poignant moment. There's no good reason to resist it!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You send out powerful, good energy to your family, and they will handle challenges more easily because of the boost but also because of the tangible support that comes with your intentions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to be in charge, but it's not because you need to flex or because you think you deserve the role. Leaders can open the doors for others, and you know people who need to come through those doors.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's a mixed bag of tasks before you, and your enthusiasm will ebb and flow. Waning motivation is only temporary. Push on through. You are stronger than you know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mood turns restless. There's something to adjust, but first, escape the immediate tension. Sensory input — like a walk, a meal or music — will reset you. You'll return with a fresh take.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The explorers before you did not know you, but they imagined you. That's why they made maps you could follow. You are fulfilling the destiny of those before you as you use the resources available to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you expect yourself to handle can be a vote of confidence or a setup for a fall. Be kind in the matter, shooting for a level of stress that invigorates instead of depletes.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 9). Your power grows as you narrow your focus and home in on your top priority. You'll go for tangible, reasonable goals and wind up with glorious intangibles out of the deal, too, like a feeling of soaring, creative highs, and the sort of bonded connections that can't be put into words. Funding sources double. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 11, 21, 46 and 3.

COSMIC QUESTION: "I'm a landscaper by trade and have worked hard all of my life. My family owns several acres of orange groves on the Florida coast. My brothers and I have inherited some of the land, and my younger brother wants to sell his part of it and live in style. My wife wants me to do the same, but it just doesn't feel right to me. This land has been in our family for generations. I would like to have something to pass down to my children if I have children. You should know that my wife is 46 and doesn't want children. This has always been a problem between us. Should I sell the land or keep it? My birthday is 5/14/1965 and I was born at 1 p.m. EST in Key West, Florida."

The fifth house of your astrological chart speaks to your creative talents and powers of imagination. It also has to do with children. You do not have planets in the fifth house, which indicates that this part of your destiny is unwritten; it is completely up to you. Just because you do not currently have direct DNA-related heirs doesn't mean you don't have a legacy. Consider carefully your contributions, what you care about and the values you stand for and would like to see live on past you. With Pisces in the fifth house, you are susceptible to romantic persuasion, but this one is yours to sort out and feel good about.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: "Every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam... Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot." — Scorpio cosmologist, Carl Sagan
