Tomorrow, Mercury begins a journey through the soulful waters of Pisces: great for poetic and soulful communication but not great for contracts, specific instructions or anything practical that needs to be communicated. Anticipate the shift and handle logistics today. You can always make art out of it later.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you didn't sign up to be the hero, don't worry, the real heroes never do. They get roped into doing the right thing. And usually by their own heartstrings, and lacking the stomach for cowardice, they keep up the trend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your workload will be intense today, but so will be your energy. The extent of determination will be tested. What they don't know is that you'll never give up. For as long as you can possibly hang in there, you will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You combine that bright intellect with the human touch to unbeatable effect. The tendency to include everyone, even (and especially!) those who don't fit in is part of your enormous charm.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Each person has a level of untidiness they are willing to accept. Woe to the people who go beyond that point today, as you're in no mood to let it slide. This is true of both your emotional and your physical world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is one of those fast-paced days when you'll feel that life is getting out of hand ... or maybe you're just realizing that it never really was in your hands in the first place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A different frame doesn't change the picture per say, but it changes how we look at the picture. Experiment with this concept as you're in a position to direct someone's attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For you, the hardest part of being tolerant is tolerating the intolerant. It's part of the work though, and you'll regret it if you let someone's uncongenial attitude get under your skin.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like to interact with those who are confident in their knowledge. It is far less favorable to interact with those who rigidly assume that their way is the only correct way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are definitely questions that open new worlds. And there are also questions that open cans of worms.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There's nothing you could say to make someone understand better than they do at this moment. It's not your fault; it's the nature of maturity. People can't mature faster than they do. Give love, not words.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your life has been full of surprises and serendipity and it's about to get even more interesting in that regard. The more people you know, the more likely you are to run into someone you know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are many who ask for good advice who won't follow it. Maybe what they are looking for is not advice so much as validation, support and a general sense that they are not in this alone.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 24). It's said that a smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, but there will be plenty of time for learning to handle life's storms later. Enjoy the glassy sailing now! You'll make money and feel the warmth of love. June's challenges strengthen family bonds. September begins a thrilling educational process. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 18, 25, 37 and 1.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Those who think they know you well might be surprised if they were to know the secrets you'll never tell. TAURUS: Make the bed. Smile. These are the simple acts that contribute to a happy relationship. GEMINI: The manner in which you greet and part with your love will say it all. CANCER: Your love needs plenty of praise and compliments — just like you do. LEO: A long stretch of focused and uninterrupted time together is what you really need. VIRGO: When you have nothing to gain, but you're nice anyway, people notice and they love you more for it. LIBRA: You're extremely attractive and you can't help it one bit. SCORPIO: You value a relationship more than you value your opinions and theories, which is why you won't fight very hard to be "right." SAGITTARIUS: Affection makes life happy. More affection, more happiness. You can't have too much these days. CAPRICORN: Evening brings fun. This could be a late night; that's one way to prepare for sweet dreams. AQUARIUS: Your natural inclinations will lead to you the relationships that are right and healthy for you. PISCES: To be among strangers is liberating. They only know you for who you are in this moment. You might have a great deal of fun making that up on the spot!

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Aquarius and Pisces are zodiac neighbors with a country border between them. They don't share a native tongue. Pisces communicates indirectly, artistically, telepathically. Aquarius loves the high-minded discussion of a salon atmosphere, where ideas get bandied to and fro and the world's problems seem workable. Their differences dissolve this weekend due to some mysterious chemistry.
