The earthy lunar trine to Uranus, the planet of surprises, is a specific kind of omen. From the abundant water-sign energy, an island rises, inviting us sailors on life's endless sea to take a rest from the rocking waves to do the kind of work that can only be accomplished on land. It's the work of repair that can't be adjusted mid-voyage. We'll return to the water better equipped for the voyage ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can't accurately map your options from inside your head. Your sense of what's possible can be distorted by incomplete information or assumptions based in fear. Say what you want. Give the world a chance to show you what's feasible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). We live in a rapidly changing world. To keep up, we have to update. Staying engaged means staying flexible. You're willing to revisit ideas and adjust your thinking when new information or contexts ask for it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Finally, you're in a group of diverse strengths. It feels good to show up, do your part and trust that others will handle their share. Things move forward as a wheel does, not as a pogo stick does.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Could everything be happening for the highest good? You're not always sure what to believe. You'll be moved today to ask fewer questions as you get down to the work. Sometimes it's OK to accept what is before you completely understand it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Would you rather have teasing or fawning? A challenge or a massage? Truth or flattery? There are no universally wrong answers, only answers that bring you closer or further away from a goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be reminded how important daily rituals really are to your well-being. Emotional balance depends at least partly on what we automatically repeat. A new influence will inspire you to elevate your habits.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Something as grand as a career doesn't happen overnight. It's a culmination of thousands of small steps, tasks, moves, commitments, decisions — and, wow, are you making them with style and speed today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your inner critic has been speaking too loudly and too often. If only you could be the network executive who cancels its show or at least interrupts it for more relevant programming. You deserve your own support. More cheerleading, less analyzing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are bright, free and possessing of an endless curiosity that keeps leading you from interest to interest, and only you can say what deserves a longer stay. You decide for yourself what's acceptable instead of adopting anyone else's rules.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Noticing talent is a talent in and of itself. You'll not only see what's special and strong in others, but you'll also have a sense of who should work together and how it might fit. You'll bring people together.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Media can set up unrealistic expectations of love and relationships. This will be especially true of social media today, but you're savvy to the many ways people tell visual lies and will neither believe nor perpetuate the problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's something so beautiful about a relationship in which you can respectfully disagree without too much friction or a negative outcome. It signals great maturity for all involved as well as deep respect and the potential to learn from one another.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 4). It's your Year of Fearless Championing, and you'll use this gift in many directions. You'll give astounding performances and coax others toward their best performances, too. More highlights: You'll take a serendipitous journey with the spirit of exploration and curiosity opening doors of all kinds — professional, personal and social. One special relationship takes a surprising and auspicious new turn. You'll score three bonus checks. Sagittarius and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 19, 36, 7 and 28.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: On her first angelic solar return, we mourn the legendary Catherine O'Hara, a singular talent whose work brought intelligence, tenderness and exquisite absurdity to generations of audiences. With well over 100 film and television credits, she was revered for her range, fearless humor and a body of work honored with many of the industry's highest awards. Artistic Pisces energy was extraordinarily strong in O'Hara's chart, with the sun, moon, Mercury and Venus all in this shape-shifting realm of empathy, an astrological signature that mirrors her rare ability to inhabit humanity in all its humor and ache.
