The emotional journey is a sweater that the moon
wears inside out in the morning and then changes
her mind about in the evening, reversing the look.
That’s when feelings in the environment will be easily
absorbed for an outside-in effect. These tendencies
come courtesy of a gregarious Aquarius lunar a.m.
and a p.m. Pisces moon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You already know what
you want. Now the focus is on figuring out what other
people want. In many situations, it’s implied. But
when it’s not, you discover just the thing and include
it in your deal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Self-doubt isn’t always a
bad thing. In fact, it can be quite useful and is often the
mature stance to take. Some actions warrant doubt.
A good question to apply: “Who else is this helping?”
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a type of trust
given out of gullibility, inexperience and weakness.
Then there’s the trust that comes with clear, wide-
open eyes. To know the risks and still invest in another
person is trust born of strength.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). So many systems and
group cultures downgrade the relevance of integrity.
You reject the notion and seek others who are on
a moral pursuit, the likes of which will never be
outdated.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Memory is imperfect.
Perception even more so. This is why even though you
know where you came from, parts of your personal
history still seem mysterious to you. Today, a blank
will get filled in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You set out to show
someone how to accomplish a certain aim but what
occurs instead is an unfolding of discovery that you
embark on together, teacher and student learning just
as much as the other.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you keep your
feelings undercover, it’s for a variety of reasons,
like to avoid giving away your position or inspiring
jealousy. When you show your feelings today, it’s for
one reason – you can’t help it!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What do competition,
pressure, wealth, anger, power, passion and
desperation all have in common? They are all states
that teach a person what they are capable of.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the people
you love are happy, so are you. Their quests and
concerns are your own. The lines get blurry and
in some spots are nonexistent. There’s no shame
in drawing them anew though. Sometimes, it’s
necessary.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Avoiding problems
is the name of the game in dodgeball. But in life, it
works better when you go on the offensive, meeting
the problems with all you’ve got, essentially catching
the balls.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Mercy is a better
approach than hard justice, not because it’s the moral
thing to do but because rehabilitation and improved
action is more likely to follow. The soft song of better
angels is easy for everyone to sing along to.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You make way for a
positive day. At first, it takes no effort at all. Nothing
to clear, just start doing you. Then people, media and
circumstances challenge you. Employ the fine art of
ignoring that which doesn’t fit your positive premise.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 7). You’ll reach a goal that
has been personally important to you for many years.
You used to think it would take a great deal of discipline
to get there, but you find another route, leading
yourself through your curiosities and attractions. This
one shining change has transformative power that
touches every other area of your life. Pisces and Virgo
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 32, 1, 19 and 9.

In the age of GPS, to get somewhere, you really don’t
have to know the way. An intuitive Pisces moon
would like to add: For those who trust in mysterious
guidance systems, this has always been the case.
In days of old, the map was but a speculative hope;
brave adventurers oriented themselves as you do
now, by the stars.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Insecurity sometimes
causes people to claim skills and competencies
beyond the scope of what they’ve earned. You’ll
overlook these exaggerations and other faults in the
name of social grace.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re constantly
challenging your own thinking along moral and
ethical lines. What you consider to be a minimal act of
kindness goes above and beyond what others would
do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve been unaware of
the subtle pressures around you that were influencing
you to be one way and not another. But something
happens today to wake you up and help you better
understand the dynamics affecting you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You want to feel another
person’s pain so they won’t have to. Scientists,
spiritual gurus and co-dependent experts agree that
it’s not possible. But can they prove it? Your solution
may be counterintuitive or ill-advised, but it’s yours.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The thing has been broken
for a while now – like a vehicle that won’t take you
where you want to go. Still, there’s hope. Tinker. Keep
jiggling the parts and poking around for the problem.
You’ll hear the whir of this engine yet!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As soon as you think you
cannot do a thing, that’s when you must embark. This
isn’t really about proving yourself wrong. In fact, you
may be quite right. Failure may be inevitable. Even so,
who will you become by trying?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because you’re such
a hard worker, you sometimes get right to work
whether or not that’s what the situation needs. Today,
there’s a good chance that what’s really needed is
more awareness, which can prevent wrong action.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Conversational skill
will have little to do with saying things the right way.
Choose a relatable topic where interests are likely
aligned and let that do the work for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll pay more
attention to your thoughts, partly because they are so
loud today and opaquely color your moods. Some of
these thoughts need to be taken on, reasoned with
and calmed down.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Discipline is follow-
through. Whether you are in charge of making the
rules for children, employees or yourself, you have to
follow through with what you said you’d do or it’s not
going to work.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stress reduction starts
with noticing the actualities of the moment. Thoughts
are the biggest problem source. Culprits like, “This all
has to be done immediately,” can be dismissed as
untruths.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your way of relaxing is
different from those around you and that’s just the
nature of relaxation. One size doesn’t fit all. Even
twins will have different ways of reaching a place of
calm. Ask yourself what you need, and then provide it.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 8). Two things make this
year’s opportunities stellar. First off, you proactively
create many of them. And secondly, you actually
follow through. You and your team will take home an
award. You’ll do something creative with the bonus
money. Finally, in June, the words you want to hear
from the one you want to say them. Gemini and Libra
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 49, 2, 28 & 11.
