Tension mounts as the playful Leo moon swells toward tomorrow's full status in Virgo. The evening is nuanced by complications having to do with the moon and Mars. This aspect warns against letting emotions override reason. Take a breath and walk away before letting hasty judgments, impulsive reactions and hot feelings interfere.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When in doubt, keep it brief in every way. Take the short route; use the short words. Cut it off at the first break. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor. It's when things drag on and on that they get complicated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you gave up that thing that was so hard (and so necessary) for you to give up, you earned karma points while making room in your life for something wonderful to drop in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some days it's like you have an "on/off," button but today your main control is a volume knob that incrementally changes the intensity of your experience. You'll move seamlessly and suddenly find yourself living out loud.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your best is good enough. Believe it. If you cast doubt on yourself or your work, you'll only make the other person feel uncomfortable. So stand strong and stand tall in what you believe, even if it feels like a ruse. You'll get used to it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may seem like the sickness and the cure are one and the same today. If you can figure out what benefit you are getting from the thing that sometimes pains you, you'll recuperate quickly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The first step to taking back your power is realizing that you had it in the first place. Track it down and grab it back. Don't blame anyone or make an excuse. You are aware now; that's what matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is much that seems out of your control that is actually well within it. In order to see your whole range of options, make the assumption that you can change what's going on around you today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's the little things — but it's also the big things, which you can't get to if you're obsessing over, bogged down in or endlessly dealing with the little things. Some details are built to be blown off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some say love hurts; others say it's the only thing that doesn't hurt. You'll form your own opinion and then probably change it half way through the day because you've never known love to be just one way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You probably sense that you are getting too rigid about the plan. You're not a robot, you know! Break the routine by incorporating indeterminacy into this. Some decisions are best made with a coin toss or dice throw.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Life could be greatly enhanced were you to make upgrades to something you use in your regular routine. This will be worth the trouble and expense but if you do it today or tomorrow, there won't be much of either!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Not everyone needs a perfectly put-together plan. In fact, most won't follow even the best-laid one. Determine and commit to the three steps that are most pertinent to your success.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 21). It's all lining up for the win. Your resources will come together with little effort from you. You'll get a cheerleader when you need one in March and a challenger when you need one in April. Improvements to the home dynamic in June lead to more love and exciting joint ventures. Travel in July. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 23, 39, 24 and 14.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The first full week of the Pisces solar journey will be thick with dreamy ribbons of swirling fog that give everything the heightened, musical, harp-plucked feel of Imagination Land. Why even try to come back down to reality when the main action seems to be taking place in the ether? The feelings, tone and many specific details of our daydreams will transfer into real life soon enough. Why not revel in the chance to dance in the dream of how things are and could be for as long as humanly possible? It all swells toward the full Virgo moon on Monday, which is among the best times of the year for inspired brainstorming and brilliantly laid plans. This is where outrageous desire and practical detail intersect to weave extraordinary creations. The energy is best focused on your more pressing needs and problems. What's the one thing in your life that, if changed, would have a domino affect on all of the other parts?

It should be noted that the full moon's augmentation of imaginative powers and creativity could also be taken in a dark direction, and that's why it's so important to get focused on the positive. Steer clear of the wormhole with the potential to spiral worry and fear into full-blown, widespread panic. A little mental discipline is all it takes to keep on the sunny side.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: She grew up in the public eye. Through her books and social media platforms, Jennifer Love Hewitt has kept the bond between herself and her fans going strong, sharing the developments of her life, including dating, marriage and motherhood. This intuitive Pisces was born when Jupiter was in Leo, the sign of the consummate entertainer, indicating that the more she's in the public eye, the luckier she gets.
