On a day with four lunar conjunctions to Aries planets (Mercury, Neptune, Mars and Saturn), there's much burning at once: desire, curiosity, ambition, imagination, drive and perhaps even some of the more shadowy experiences like shame, anger or envy. Embrace the messy fuel of all of it. This level of energy abundance is rare, and all can be channeled for good.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel the wind in your hair as you glide to your next evolution, the one in which you gain what you've been wanting. At the same time, you're letting go of what you're ready to trade for the upgrade.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It can be very frustrating to see the result you're going for in your mind and know that you're far from it. Can you just focus on the next step up? One more check on the to-do list, one more mile, one more pound lost or gained or lifted — you're doing great.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you work that smile, you generate warmth and a sense of belonging everywhere you go. And though this lifts loved ones and strangers alike, most of all, it lifts you. You just feel better because your smile tells the rest of you that you should.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ancient humans were excellent listeners. They listened to nature to escape weather, to find food and to keep from becoming food. Today, you'll listen very well to find opportunity and steer away from trouble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). They say that the only difference between a comedy and a tragedy is the way the story ends. Of course, this isn't true. A comedy is fun and funny all along, and a tragedy gives you beautiful things to watch and cry over. Today, you're in a position to choose your genre.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some interactions take years to fully process. They seem to mean one thing, then years later you look back and see something else. Time and memory have a way of showing you truths or stripping away falsehoods.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One day, you'll look back at this and laugh. Even so, that's no reason to endure the discomfort any longer than necessary. The future will bring another perspective, but only because you assert yourself in the present.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A polite smile here, a kind laugh, a supportive word — it's all part of the social facade that has relationships running smoothly. The mask is your own design, allowing you to hide or show what helps the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is said that a drowning man isn't picky about who throws him a rope. You're not desperate like that, but you could still use an assist. But if you accept some form of common decency, this should not come with future obligation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even as you stand in what you've built, you still remember when you had far less and knew very well the aching experience of need. This feeds the compassion you have for someone currently in need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You contain multitudes. Is the person you're being in a relationship intrinsic to who you are? Or are certain behaviors showing up just because of this particular dynamic? Take yourself out of it and see.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Expressing yourself will come easily today, not because you're in a supportive environment, lifted by receptive people who get you. Not because you've practiced your talent and feel confident — no. Because you've been brave time and again. Courage is a muscle.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 15). It's your Year of the Tidal Gift, when provision arrives in waves, precisely when needed. Trust life's timing and your own instincts. More highlights: a home life filled with warmth and meaningful rituals, a steadily growing financial cushion, and intuitive clarity that guides wise, well-timed financial and professional decisions. Nature and quiet moments restore you. Scorpio and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 15, 22, 31 and 42.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Seth Rogen's award-winning satirical cringe comedy "The Studio" is filming another season, providing another chance for the fictional Hollywood film studio The Continental to revitalize its fortunes. Rogen was born when the sun, Mercury and Jupiter were all in daring Aries, so it's no surprise that the risk-taking director, writer and movie star was once a teen stand-up comedian who dropped out of high school to make his real-life Hollywood dreams come true.
