The spring equinox celebrates the sun, reborn in the first sign of the zodiac. In the Greek legend, two gods rode away on a ram to escape their evil stepmother. The ram was immortalized as the constellation Aries. The sun in this part of the sky favors the bold. These energies are oblivious to risk and encourage wholeheartedness.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re susceptible to flattery and you’ll get plenty of it. Praise will go to your head. When you start to feel an overblown sense of your own importance, just go with it and let it work in your favor, increasing your magnetism.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Relationships are more delicate than you would have thought. This won’t be a problem for you if you stay in your own business, but if you follow your curiosity, you’ll soon find out where other people’s sensitivities lie.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t have to worry about doing a great job. Punctuality and attendance are half the battle. After you show up on time, everything else falls into place.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll ask excellent questions. It doesn’t need to be perfect to do the job. You’ll elicit just the informative response you most need to move things along today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re the type of person who might dedicate the song “Wind Beneath My Wings” to someone else, but don’t forget (especially when you’re feeling underappreciated) that you also happen to be the wind beneath certain wings.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It would be tempting to veer off course to set your sites on an entirely different goal, but you’d be missing out on all the confidence to be gained from doing exactly what you set out to do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Expecting to feel happy all of the time is a sure way to experience disappointment. Let feelings flow. Take the good, bad and ugly as it comes. And keep in mind that many things are too important to take seriously.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are enough. What you know and have lived is perfectly suited to take full advantage of this place and time. As you relax into the moment, the future will take shape.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t follow a recipe, and yet the way you “feed” people will be very successful and joy-inducing. So pay attention to how you’re putting it all together — better yet, write it down.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Rushing around just won’t be fun. Leave time for things like exploring and goofing off. Memory-making moments tend to happen between the cracks.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be sympathetic to another person’s plight. You can extend your kindness without giving money or signing up for whatever the person is selling.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a strong appetite. What do you think would happen were you to feed yourself what you really wanted without a shred of guilt? Today is the perfect time to try it and find out.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 20). You don’t wait for permission. You order yourself to climb to the top of the mountain, follow the order, then enjoy the view from the top. Because you deal fairly with all, you’ll win favor and position. Your reputation will shimmer, and your reach will increase. The best part is the people you attract just by being you. Capricorn and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 30, 2, 27 and 8.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Few have had a more positive impact on children’s media than the gentle-spirited Fred Rogers. The ordained minister had a simple message: “Love yourself and others.” At a time when children’s programming was limited to cartoon violence, he pleaded with government officials for a better way. Roger’s natal sun, moon and Mercury were all in Pisces, the sign of empathy.
