Youthful vigor characterizes this moon-in-Aries day. With the two luminaries, the sun and moon, now in fire signs, it's as if we've tapped the unstoppable life force of all things — the battery charger of the universe. This invigorating energy rouses some folks to action, others turn exceptionally perky, and yet others go like Energizer bunnies.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have sound ideas about financial management and anyone would benefit from following your advice, most of all you. Tonight features lively interaction and memorable, maybe even prophetic, dreams.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are sensitive to your surroundings, kind and very sympathetic to those going through a rough time. Realize that not everyone will be like you, and try to tolerate the oblivious people, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Self-discipline isn't a matter of forcing yourself to do what you don't want to do; rather, it's about building rewards so luscious that you can't help but follow through with your desired behavior.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). With an enhanced ability to organize the future, you'll create scenarios so grand that even you are not sure if you'll be able to pull them off. Do leave room for spontaneous magic in those plans!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some thoughts you wish you hadn't thought. You're right not to believe or even own those thoughts; however, do try to understand them. Intellectual exploration leads you to the knowledge that your heart is pure.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (JULY 23). Because you've grown wiser and learned to trust the universe to a greater degree, you no longer care as much about being first in line. Your detached confidence attracts the very best — your way is made easy. The financial boost in August allows for an expansion. You apply your creativity in exciting ways in the new year. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 33 and 15.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's easier to mind your own business when you make your business all about pleasure. Focus on looking forward to the juicy parts of your day, and finding a new, more positive way to think of the rest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're probably still in the mode where you feel you must say "yes" to every paying opportunity — and, well, it can't hurt. Not only are your finances improving, but every new responsibility opens a world to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your enthusiasm is reignited by a rare find — you'll be adding to your collection, which is always a thrill. Tonight features the chance to show off your international flair to someone who can appreciate it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The minute you find yourself trying to manage someone else's problem, you're off purpose — a lonely place to be. Stick to fulfilling your own desires. It's not selfish, it's necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This game doesn't suit you. Changing the players only has a minimal affect and it's not lasting. The best and easiest way to change the game is to change the rules.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is a link between material abundance and spiritual grace. Often somewhere along the quest for one, the other hops on for a ride. You don't have to give up your money to find your soul.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The accomplishment you're trying to pull off is daunting, perhaps because you know that its completion will start a chain reaction and your life will never be the same. Let that idea motivate you to march on.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My birth date is 6/2/61. I'm beginning a relationship with a man born 4/19/60. We both had bad pasts and problems trusting. Other areas are awesome. Can we overcome our obstacles and make a real go out of our relationship, or are we just playing with each other?"

Difficulty getting over past hurts is not uncommon. Dear Gemini, how will you ever know if this relationship is meant to be if you don't dip your pinky toe back in the water? Notice I said pinky toe. You're in the dating pool, which means respect the shallow water, please. Perhaps with your history it's best not to jump in with both feet, or dive in to do a face plant, but ever so gently, gradually ease in. Follow your curiosity. Ask questions, learn about this person, get inside his head and get to know him. As a Gemini, you love learning. Find out where your interests and his overlap. Don't worry about whether it will work out long-term and instead focus on having a good time. Have fun. In fact, that's exactly how many of us have found ourselves in a really good thing that neither person wants to end.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Jennifer Lopez is a Leo sun sign hot mama with her moon in Aries. With these luminaries in fire signs, she's double hot, but what does the moon say about her mothering style? Aries moon moms are like protective mama bears, are great in an emergency and basically defend their kids with her life. Independence and courage are the values she'll nurture in her children.
