Last Splash

Today brings the last splash of Pisces season, followed by the hush of transition. Like Max Ehrmann's famous work "Desiderata," which is the Latin word for "things desired," a reflection of the last few weeks will produce the acknowledgement of what's still missing. "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence."

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Negating the truth of a situation only makes it harder to tolerate it. You're instead willing to poke around a bit and discover the nature of things. It will bring about a realization, then a change.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Strike up conversations with neighbors or fellow commuters during daily routines. You'll stumble upon an unusual connection or find intersections of interest you wouldn't have guessed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some battles are just about being a human willing to live imperfectly in a world of challenges. Roll with the emotions. Let the wave of feeling do the work, showing you the highs and lows while carrying you safely back to shore.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Out of habit, you may feel like you want to keep investing time, effort and emotional energy into something that's actually complete. You have achieved success. All is resolved. The thing to do now is to believe it and move on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Learn all you can about the issue at hand without worrying about how you're going to solve it. It might not be yours to solve. You'll come to a threshold of knowledge and know just what to do -- or not do -- as the case may be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The attributes you want to embody exist in you already, though maybe not to the extent you would prefer. Your attractions will lead you down a path to growing and radiating these qualities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Dogmas are tinted glasses, coloring a worldview. Let go of a few ideas to see a more accurate picture. Everyone needs to be heard, but for how long? Too many opinions and beliefs can bog down interactions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone who has constructive opinions is rooting for you. That doesn't mean you should apply what they say. Trust your own vision. Well-intentioned people may not understand the breadth of your vision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many perks that spring from heightened sensitivity. You will be more creative, observant and productive. However, you may also be a bit on edge. It takes more energy to feel so acutely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Empty your mind onto paper. At first, it will seem overwhelming, but the first step to handling mental clutter is knowing exactly what it is you're dealing with. You'll take care of business and feel lighter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Let your altruistic nature shine. In giving back to your community, you'll find the key to unlock a vault of solutions for what's been troubling you. Furthermore, profound bonds will be forged in the problem-solving.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your emotional intelligence is evident in the way you handle relationships. You are incredibly skilled at building trust and mutual respect. Your integrity and authenticity shine through in every interaction.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 18). This solar return brings a soul-stirring journey, featuring relationships that challenge you to be more adventurous than ever. With a heart fortified by deep affection, you'll cross new frontiers professionally, emotionally and geographically. More highlights: a big check, a small but persistent bad habit lost for good, and a major completion. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 2, 22 and 7.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In their latest release "Middle Ground," Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine sings the very soulfully Piscean lyrics: "I need peace, I need hope, I need guidance, I need more than myself, I need light, I need life, I need what I never felt." Levine was born when the sun and Mars were in Pisces and the moon was in sensual Scorpio, a position that indicates magnetic appeal and either an intensely private or shocking public nature. Levine somehow manages to do both.
