ARIES (March 21-April 19). On a day like today, compassion wins. Force won’t work well. Aggression is unnecessary. Softness is attractive. Everyone calms down when a grounded, peaceful person comes onto the scene. That person will be you.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). “Enough” isn’t really a number. Hit a target and the mind quickly invents another. Today invites a different approach. Decide what kind of life feels rich to you, then back into the number that will make that vision come to life.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your adaptability is a strength, though switching plans too often can scatter your efforts. Before changing course, consider whether your original strategy might succeed with a little more patience or persistence. Feedback from others will prove especially valuable today.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Mentorship helps you move to the next level. Reporting to someone sharpens your focus and keeps you accountable. The perfect mentor isn’t required. Choose someone you respect and begin. You’ll adjust along the way.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A little tension is healthy in a relationship. Without it, things grow dull. The real question is how much keeps things lively without pulling you apart. Today brings a chance to notice the line and dance away from it.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even someone who knows you well may misread you. A quick clarification — delivered calmly — will clear the air. This is just a small course correction, but the smallest course corrections change the whole journey.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Accountability will become important to your success. You’ll go farther with a good teacher, leader or coach than you will on your own. The right guidance keeps you focused, stretches your limits and helps you follow through when motivation fades.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve known someone a long time and you’re still discovering them. Today, you’ll listen more closely, notice small shifts and ask better questions. Learning a person is one of the purest forms of love.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Criticism can be a form of praise. It can say, “This warrants attention. There’s something coming through. There’s something worth working on here.” Listen carefully. Extract what’s useful. Discard what doesn’t fit. Keep building.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A project lumbers on. How about a change of strategy? Also, being exclusively in control of the project gets tiresome. This is the time to accept input from as many other people as possible.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Socializing will be part of the work. Step back and take a good look around the room. Who would be good to know? It won’t take long to get a sense of people today. Fifteen seconds can do 80% of the job.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The only relevant question is: Does it feel like a fit? If only one person thinks it’s a fit, it’s not. Fit is inherently dependent on connection and therefore must involve more than one element.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). Step into your Year of Brilliant Inner Weather, when blue skies inside have you bathed in golden good moods most of the time. It feels like things are either constantly coming together or sweetly nudging you in more favorable directions with a gentleness you don’t take for granted. More highlights: love, amusement, humor, moneymaking and friendship all braided together, a renovation that creates ease, and three trips. Pisces and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 10, 22, 4 and 17.
