Happy Birthday, Pisces!

By Deborah Mastelotto

Feb. 20–March 20

Your month: So, exciting things are finally happening in your career, are they? We did warn you, so the magnificence of your shining birthday persona shouldn’t surprise you. What may be surprising though is, in the first 15 days of your month, you may find a lack of communication, a seeming inability to speak out on your own behalf. And the good things people are saying about you aren’t said in front of you either. Everything else rocks: love, work energy, love-of-work energy and a clear direction for your life GPS. Just wait it out; after the 15th, words pour forth like candy from a split piñata.

We are solidly into the new three-year cycle, and finally, the element of fire is apparent all around us. We feel compelled by a force greater than ourselves to take action, especially drastic action. Expect unexpected and amazing results from this drastic action, so be not afraid. Everything’s going to be all right.

Aries (March 21–April 20): A creative explosion just happened inside your brain and it’s leaking out all over your life, to your work, your home, your friends, yes, even your basic life philosophy. You want to move, to change, to make things, to make things happen and you want to do it NOW. You can see the big picture and steps, like a staircase, to get there. This is new for you, to make plans so far into the future. It’s exciting and constructive energy, but it can also be destructive, so be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak.

Taurus (April 21–May 21): Everyone else seems to be roaring down the runway into 2015 like a 747, leaping tall buildings in a single bound, but you are...remodeling? Yes, this month, your focus is much more intimate and insular. You feel the need to hunker down, recharge and regroup, and hold your cards close to your chest. The good news is you can take this month to focus on home and not miss out on anything. The bad news? Please try not to let dreams of a bigger home tempt you into a bigger mortgage than you can swing. Be careful of friends with big promises of big returns.

Gemini (May 22–June 20): What a busy bee you are this month! If there exists a party to be planned, a club meeting to be held or a special event to at- tend, you (and your entourage) are invited. If your town needs superheroes to right some wrongs, you (and your entourage) get the call. And if there’s work to be done and the word to get out, you (and your entourage) will do it. There’s just one small fly in an otherwise amazing ointment: your partner. He or she may not be as pleased to see the world revolving around you as you might like.

Cancer (June 21–July 22): Most experts like to call you guys homebodies, but they just need to see you in action this month to retract that claim. You’re on fire with your career, and it isn’t just work that gets you going. It’s the big concept of “your WORK,” the work that defines you that has you planning out the next three years in precise detail. Your goals have changed radically, your view is much more global, less local and you feel things passionately. But you may need to remind yourself that others (your partners) don’t necessarily feel as intensely about those things as you do.

Leo (July 23–Aug. 23): A lot happens for you in March, so hold on to your hat. The professional wind is definitely blowing in your direction, and your hard work is finally paying off. It’ll be a great month for finances. Money pours in from all directions, especially from some foreign directions, so take a trip. Then stash any excess money and use it to get rid of old debts. It’s a good month to follow some financial advice and dabble. Just keep in mind this quote by Thomas Carlyle: “Success in life, in anything, depends upon the number of persons that one can make himself agreeable to.”

Virgo (Aug. 24–Sept. 22): Day-to-day life and a busy routine may not be someone else’s idea of a good time, but you thrive on it. You thrive, too, on a solid relationship, and you’re happiest and most powerful when you’re supported and loved, and you learn about your- self (your life’s goal). Relationship difficulties can really do a number on you, and this month, partnerships are your primary focus. Astrologically, March can be a very sexy month, so if things get rocky at home, take a trip. Trust me on this. You and your partner will really benefit from a change of scene.

Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Your fortune for March: If you aren’t in a committed relationship, this is your month to discover one. It’ll probably happen at work, you probably know the person and he or she is probably already a friend. It’ll most likely be a surprise and happen like a bolt of lightning from the sky. Expect some sort of communication problem, like long distances or a language barrier, but you can work around that. We’re talking partnership, not just a fling, and it’ll knock your socks off. If you’re already in a com- mitted relationship, this reads the same way but in more of a friendly “bromance” sort of way. Probably.

Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Work, work, work, create, work, create. Start new projects, hand them off, oversee their completion, work, start new projects, hand them off, over- see their completion. Work, create, create, do art, design, play, play with kids, work, create, do art, design, play, play with kids. Tighten up your online presence, work, communicate, design, create, tighten up your online presence, work, communicate, design, create, tighten up your online presence, work, communicate, design, create. Work, work, work, create, work, work, create. You get the picture. That’s March for you. That’s it. So go on, work, work, work, create.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22– Dec. 21): “Luck marches with those who give their best,” says Jackson Brown Jr. He should know because he’s the author best known for his New York Times bestseller, Life’s Little Instruction Book. But you also have Lady Luck marching with you this month, regardless of whether you give your best. March is just your lucky month. Of course, you’ll give your best. That goes without saying, but opportunities and helpful people are drawn to you like foot-sore soldiers to a camp- fire. Take advantage and have fun, have parties, entertain with your wit, intelligence, travel savvy and insatiable thirst for the meaning of life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 20): You Capricorns have a knack for helping other people figure out what to do with their money, and this month (and really for the next several months), you can take on clients at home, work from home, create a home office and basically run several folks’ financial lives for them and never leave your house. Mortgages, houses, financing and refinancing homes and playing with other people’s money are lucky for you this month. Even if this kind of thing isn’t your kind of thing, expect some advantageous connection with someone else’s money, real estate and you. You’ll see. It’s going to be fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 21–Feb. 19): When two people grasp the same concept at the same time without words, I call it the Vulcan mind meld. I stole this from Spock and Star Trek, and it’s what keeps happening to you all month. Don’t let it freak you out; just go with it. Communication and communion are in the stars for you, and not just with your romantic partners. You’ll intuit the minds of business partners, partners on projects and co-workers too. Don’t be surprised if you and your co- workers show up for work this month looking like you called each other and coordinated your wardrobes to match.
