The perfect moon for Mardi Gras, which is French for "Fat Tuesday," is the moon of appetite. The sensual Taurus energies rule this last day of indulgence before the Christian season of Lent begins. Traditionally it's a time to enjoy the richness of life and festivities before the fasting and penance of Lent, and the moon is in full favor of tasting every flavor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Love requires sacrifices. You embrace them because you value partnership. While you won't always yield to another's needs, you take them into account, carefully balancing them with your own. True harmony isn't about surrender; it's about mutual respect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Thinking endlessly about a problem won't fix it, and neither will ignoring it. Once again, action is the way. With a structured approach, solid organization and mindful record-keeping, you'll tackle challenges effectively.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your endless enthusiasm isn't just about enjoying yourself; it's about having a good time because you know it will energize those around you, turning ordinary moments into something special.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When progress feels slow, it's just because big things take longer to move. Think about a cruise ship pulling from the dock. Your direction is set, and even if the movement feels subtle, momentum is building beneath the surface — steady, powerful and unstoppable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're seeing yourself clearly today — recognizing your strengths, your growth and the deeper truths that drive you. It's a moment of self-awareness that gives you the courage to shed an old doubt and step into your potential.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Time turns old fixations into new feelings of relief. Thank goodness you didn't get what you wanted at the time; it wouldn't have been nearly as good for you as what ultimately happened.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have the right course of action, though you may not feel motivated about it quite yet. That's OK — passion kicks in eventually. And in the meantime, do it however you're feeling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don't have to invent the way forward from scratch. There's a trail, even if it's faint, and if you pay attention, you can find clues to help you navigate. Trust that others have walked this path before, leaving behind signs that will guide you when you're ready to see them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as the roots of a tree anchor it through storms, the struggles of youth have grounded you, preparing you for the larger challenges ahead. Each difficulty you've faced has nourished your strength, allowing you to grow with purpose and stability.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To ignore or reject reality might provide temporary relief but ultimately puts a person at a disadvantage, preventing the action needed for improvement. Things aren't ideal, but acceptance is the first step to improvement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your social stars are on the rise. You can't be everywhere people want you to be, but it's nice to be invited. You needn't explain how you spend your time to anyone, but if you can't show up, simply say, "I have a conflict."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The universe will bring you happiness on a platter. The platter won't appear to be anything you ordered. The lesson here is: Order well, and then drop the expectation of what that will look like.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 4). A fresh mindset gives you a renewed sense of purpose, and a lifestyle shift makes you feel unstoppable. More highlights: A windfall — monetary or otherwise — proves that the universe has been listening to your efforts. You'll make an impression in a competitive arena, gaining recognition that opens doors to exciting opportunities. Relationships flourish with spontaneity and shared discoveries. Aries and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 19, 27, 35 and 50.
