The Week of March 5 - 11

There is no other sign in the Zodiac with a stronger sense of day dreaming and fantasy than a Pisces. This water sign is kind and loving and often finds the real world a difficult place.

This sign needs space alone to find themselves after spending time in the real world. They love music and since they are extremely creative people they are often involved in the world of movies or television. Elizabeth Taylor is a Pisces and certainly lives in her own fantasy world. After all, she has been married eight times.

Because a Pisces often finds the world a challenging place, they discover ways to escape. One way is drugs or alcohol, and because they are so susceptible, they easily become addicted. So it is wise for a Pisces to find their entertainment away from addictive substances rather than face the need to enter rehab.

A Pisces child should be directed towards music, dancing or art which offers them an escape that is totally acceptable to both them and the real world.

Unlike an Aries or a Leo, a Pisces does not need to be surrounded by people or things to do. They really like to be alone, to meditate, to create or just to think.

Pisces people do not like arguments, battles, they like the silence of a warm summer night or a cold snowy day. They are not really interested in all of the rough and tumble needed by fire signs. This may be why some of the stronger fire signs look at water signs as souls who toss water on their brilliant ideas.

Birthdays celebrated this week include Eva Mendes, March 5, 1974; Tom Arnold, March 6, 1959; Willard Scott, March 7, 1934; Lynn Redgrave, March 8, 1943; Bobby Fischer, of Chess fame, March 9, 1943; Carrie Underwood, March 10, 1983; Rupert Murdoch, March 11, 1931; Liza Minnelli, March 12, 1946.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) You are now in a good week to watch your step. That means use care when saying Ok to anyone and avoid making promises you don't intend to keep. It is also time when some of the excitement being created by Mars in Leo should not be taken too seriously because you could be disappointed. A new look would also do you a lot of good.

Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Life should be going your way now and try not to do anything to halt it. Domestic life should bring some happy news by the end of next week. There could also be some challenge amid the news, but you will be able to handle the entire matter with good humor and skill. An old friend could turn up in your life in the near future and it would do you good to be welcoming.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) With Saturn moving back into Virgo just be careful when it comes to trying to solve to many problems at one time. You need to watch the people you get yourself involved with now and remember the lessons old pals taught you in the past. Expect a long stressful situation to be settled shortly and you will end up with the prize.

Cancer (June 21 to July 20) This could be a week of lively and stimulating challenges for you. Expect to be the winner when the entire matter bites the dust. Just don't let your guard down and you will end up with a great sense of humor and a new addiction to food. Just avoid high calorie meals and you will end up content and pleased with yourself.

Leo (July 21 to August 20) Life should not be dull now since Mars remains in Leo and can create plenty of arguments which you may not win. Just try watching what you have to say and then say as little as possible and you could come out of the period in good shape. Otherwise expect to hear plenty of noise you won't like or understand.

Virgo (August 21 to September 20) Saturn is coming back into Virgo for a short time to finish up its work of the past two years So if you have a few things hanging by a string get ready to patch them up or let them fall. Saturn will remain in Virgo until July 21 when it moves into Libra for two years. In the meantime pull things together and move on to bigger and better things.

Libra (September 21 to October 20) You may feel all fired up this week about some of your relationships but don't be overconfident. It might be wise to watch how you treat people right now or you could be looking at a few missing pals. Saturn is still in Libra and forces people to discover what is real and what is fake in their lives. It is now your turn.

Scorpio (October 21 to November 20) It is time to take on a new project. It should include some mental stimulation and because of it you are about to make some moves into bigger and better experiences. Because of all your talent with finances you can be sure you will be successful in this new endeavor. So start continue planning and get moving right now.

Sagittarius (November 21 to December 20) Understand now that Mars in Leo is making good aspects to your Sun, so clear thinking will bring you success now with the financial work you are trying to get done. Some friends may be temperamental now but your job is to stay with your work and get it done. This new business deal could really cause you some good times very soon.

Capricorn (December 21 to January 20) Now is the week to stay with your plans and work at getting each new project lined up and working as soon as possible. You are living with Pluto in Capricorn now and so you should be making heavy demands on yourself and your work. Avoid new partnerships because they will only add to your present stress. Success is just around the corner.

Aquarius (January 21 to February 20) Don't get caught up in how others handle their lives because it will take you away from your own work. An old friend could create a demanding situation for you but if you are wise you will keep looking forward and forget about their issues. Try taking your own advice and ignore nonsense.

Pisces (February 21 to March 20) Focus your attention on several unfinished projects and get them done. Then take the energy of Uranus in Pisces and understand that at times your imagination plays havoc with your attitudes. Turn over a new leaf and stop getting involved with fantasies in real life. Leave them for your dream work.
