Shadows of a Venus Conjunction

Attraction, like all mysteries, exists in particular lighting -- never total illumination. Our pursuit is magnetized by clues and questions alike. The last day of Venus in Pisces features a conjunction to Neptune to highlight our fantasies and projections. There are things we will never know about our beloved. Why not imagine the best?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you are a high-energy person, you can pull off a slow burn with the best of them. The trick is in finding contentment in the present moment. People will be magnetized by your serene warmth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You've hit your limit of clutter, and you'll not only clear, clean and organize. You'll also make new policies going forward to avoid unnecessary purchases and consumerism-driven habits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Take your time in deciding who belongs in your support circle. Observe potential candidates, especially how they communicate with you and others, whether they listen to other perspectives without judgment and how they handle differences of opinion.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You love a topic enough to devote yourself to learning its deeper layers. Teaching will enforce your love. Instead of telling people what to do or explaining things, you'll demonstrate and thus inspire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have aspirations for your personal life and you're willing to grow into the person who can handle these things. You expect things to feel a little weird. Being slightly uncomfortable just means you're stretching.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you've never had the kind of relationship where a partner listens to your wild ideas without batting an eye and cheers you on like a hype squad at a pep rally for your dreams. But if you're open to it, it's coming your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Simplify your daily routines and habits to reduce complexity. Attention is a precious commodity. If it weren't, people wouldn't be working so hard to get yours. Eliminate the unnecessary. Focus on essentials.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll be as effective as your support system, so use discernment to choose well. Seek people who are more concerned with seeing the big picture come together than they are with getting ego needs met.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your relationship should be a dance where kindness takes the lead, and disagreements are just spicy breakaway moves that keep things interesting before you rejoin and get in step. All spice and no dish is not sustainable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You live by your own rules, cultivate habits aligned with your goals and exercise qualities you value, resulting in a surge of inner strength. Compassion, humility and integrity sing in harmony -- the soundtrack of your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The paradox of effort and ease is very much alive in your day; you'll be reminded how striving often leads to frustration and suffering, while surrendering and letting go brings ease and fulfillment. Balance between doing and being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you consider the complexities and nuances of a situation, you wonder if it's worth it to get involved at all. But that's the problem with thinking. It never accurately represents actual experience. And so you will boldly go and see for yourself.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 3). A banger of a year! Just as music relies on the space between notes, success depends on a delicious problem to solve. You'll do this with a fantastic team. You'll lose yourself in the project only to find yourself in the warmth and admiration of the wonderful people involved. More highlights: whirlwind travel, a nest egg of security and the expansion of family. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 3, 33 and 16.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Esteemed primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall bravely ventured into the wilds of Africa to study chimpanzees, resulting in discoveries that brought scientific definition to a more accurate and less anthropocentric view of the natural world. Three Aries luminaries speak to her tireless efforts in conservation activism. Mercury in empathetic Pisces is an apt placement for interspecies understanding.
