Moon of Marching On

The Capricorn moon and its many aspects of the day recall how excellent decision-making is grounded in self-awareness. A pretty common way to find out what you really care about is through loss. Mistakes and uncertainty are a natural part of the journey toward self-discovery. Tolerate fear. Forgive yourself. Keep moving. Every decision, wise or not, contributes to the journey.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life is not scolding you. It may, however, be correcting you and helping you back onto the path that leads where you most want to go. There's work that goes into finding the right product for the market. You'll do the work and win.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The best things are made slowly and carefully. If that's how you feel your "thing" is being made, count yourself among the fortunate. This is going to turn out well for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In general, people find it easy to figure out how to love you because you love yourself, and this shows them the way. Any work you do to better understand who you are and what you like goes far toward improving your relationships all around.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You invite variety -- in foods, places, experiences and, best of all, in people, because you can only learn new things from people who know and do things that are different from what you already know and do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Find a new model. The one you're chasing isn't worthy. Whether this is business or personal, the answer is the same. A generic model is never going to encompass all you can do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To some, a relationship is an opportunity to give. To others, it's an opportunity to take. Try to stay aware of the balance, because as a giver you are vulnerable to being drained by takers without conscience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Of course, you can't plan to be surprised because the plan eliminates the element of surprise. But, like a child who knowingly turns the crank of a jack-in-the-box, the anticipation still comes with a palpable thrill.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Thinking is work. It requires energy and takes effort. Even so, thought alone is not enough to bring things into reality. Air must be moved, too, through breath, words and action. The more air is moved, the more real a thing becomes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The person who dares to alter the power balance in relationships must be brave indeed. People hate this. Maybe change is necessary, and if so, go carefully. A power balance is nothing to take lightly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Curiosity can feel like a curse because the things you long to know create a yearning that feels unbearable at times. Even so, your life is made richer by the discoveries you've made that started with curiosity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The measuring systems that count are not standardized. Things like happiness, fairness, attractiveness and love are subject to individual systems of assessment. It's nice when they match up. When they don't, none is more valid, just more common.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your mind seems slanted toward the profound today, sliding into sincerity and seriousness. It will really help your mood to lighten things up with some humor, silliness and clowning around.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 5). You claim a new mission that engages your talents and turns the year into a parade of adventures befitting of your lifestyle, but also incrementally altering of it in exciting and beneficial ways. More highlights: You'll hear meaningful words from the people who matter to you. You'll receive money that was long overdue. Capricorn and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 17, 9, 22 and 40.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Over 5 million Instagram followers know Eva Mendes as "co-owner of this innovative female owned company that created the 'smart' sponge."

She confesses she'd rather be home with children and her husband, Ryan Gosling, than walking the red carpets of Hollywood.
