Horoscopes for March 14, 2013

The moon will spend time in both Aries and Taurus. Aspects point to a somewhat restless start to the morning. There are ways to gather the scattered energy together, but you might also try the route of not worrying too much about it. A sense of humor is always useful! Anyway, a more settled, grounded and content feeling will take over soon enough.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may realize that you could improve in some areas, but don’t use this as an excuse to pick on or abandon yourself. Get on your own side. No one else can play your role in this game if you don’t do it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will decipher complex problems almost magically. Your intuition will guide you brilliantly. You won’t need to hear each side or get proof of what is really going on. The answer will be clear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your style of communication is like a universal language all its own. With Mercury cheering on your efforts, you will bring a diverse group of people together.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will thrive in a group setting. Excellent sportsmanship and skillful teamwork are specialties of yours. Don’t be surprised if the group can’t function without you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t have to do anything active to change the world now. Everything is changed just because you exist. You may choose to be active anyway, or you may sit back and enjoy just being alive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s said that shared joy is multiplied; shared grief is divided. Wherever people are, you join them and make the emotional landscape come alive with positive feeling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When the cosmos send you an invitation, be sure to R.S.V.P. When you make your intentions known, things start to happen. Even if you don’t yet have what you need to move forward, move forward anyway.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anyone who asks you a question will get more than they bargained for. You’re a storehouse of knowledge and creativity. Your impulse is to share generously.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won’t seek a dangerous position, and yet there is no such thing as complete safety in this world, either. Adventure would not be adventure without the element of risk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everything will progress whether or not you have a plan. This is an excellent day for watching the way things work naturally without your interference. What you learn may save you from making unneeded efforts later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Committing to one choice means closing the door on any other choice that is not in line with it. You’ll spend most of the day trying to figure out which choices go together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some will push their luck to explore the unknown. You’d like to think things over awhile. How badly do you really want to know? Maybe not badly enough to tempt fate.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. The next six weeks feature amusing developments, including public singing or dancing. You owe April’s victory to family and excellent training. Ardently follow your interests, and in May you’ll make a rather dazzling new friend. Consider going into business together. A property investment will be favored in August. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 11, 14, 49 and 45.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I want more romance in my life. I’m not in a relationship and have no prospects. How can I get some Venus energy running through my world again? I’m a Libra.”

I love that you’re not waiting around for love to come to you. It sounds like you’re ready to actively court the spirit of romance, which is something you can do as a single person. Cultivating a romantic “vibe” about yourself will attract potentially romantic people into your realm.

For Libra, the spirit of romance can be invoked through music. Making music a bigger part of your world is one way to stay in an openhearted, free-flowing good mood. Do you have a good setup for listening to music in your home and car? Has the soundtrack to your life become stale? Explore new artists. Dare to cross into genres you usually wouldn’t entertain. Devote time to making playlists that keep you feeling romantic.

Visual aesthetics are also a key mood enhancer for Libra, so put your highly attuned visual sense to work in your personal environment. Whatever you can do to make yourself and your surroundings lovelier will be conducive to romantic living. Note: Don’t underestimate the power of sexy lighting!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Hit-maker Quincy Jones is a strong believer in the social powers of entertainment and the arts. The Pisces producer and composer was born under a harmonic Libra moon. He recently announced plans to launch a music industry tradeshow and a series of music festivals in a joint venture between the Dubai World Trade Center and the multimedia entertainment company Global Gumbo Group.
