Worry is such a misuse of imagination! Consider that now as the glorious full moon in Virgo high-beams the passionate Pisces sun. Pisces is so into fantasy, but Virgo’s inclined to fuss. In reconciling the two you could be forced to invent a cover-up story.

Aries (March 20-April 19) Whistle while you work! Fullmoon magic can turn “just a job” into the megawatt career you’ve dreamed about. Past efforts come into play here. Have you been laying the groundwork?

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You’re in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. As the full moon does the glitter thing in your creativity house, move ahead with a “not what you know but whom” project.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Mood swings of family members have tested your patience. Now here’s the full moon with a message to speak up for yourself at home and in the world. Time to do what you want to do.

Cancer (June 21-July 21) Friends or colleagues pull the strings where personal communications are concerned. Since this affects long-term pursuits such as travel and higher education, you’ll have to confront the issue sooner or later. The full moon suggests sooner.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22) Tuesday’s moon brings a moment of truth regarding money — your money. Walk softly and carry a calculator. A Pluto-Venus combo in your fourth house smiles encouragement. Light a green candle to Lady Luck.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Once again you stand at midpoint in your personal year — six months past your last birthday, six months closer to your next. It’s decision time, contract time. Begin hammering out the details.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) As the full moon blasts your “mystery” house, the winter scene shifts into clearer perspective. You can take that insight into spring and even beyond. Surely you can please all the people some of the time. We’re talking financial issues where cooperation

makes the difference.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Expect only the unexpected. Sweet nothings may be shouted rather than whispered. Proposals may sound suspiciously like propositions. Whichever way the sugar cookie crumbles, you’ve the creative chops to play it your way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Spring’s approach reminds you of the past master you are at building networks and causeways to fame and fortune. Tuesday’s full moon rules the roost in your fame house. Celebrate the season.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) Expect an amatory problem, possibly regarding study or travel, to unkink itself as an upsy-downsy week moves toward a — dare we say? — climax. You’re going to be doing what the Capricorn Goat loves — pushing the envelope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 17) Watch as a tough cookie crumbles. The impossible unexpectedly morphs into no problema. With the full moon in your house of joint funds, surprising things can happen. Do you feel like a potential star waiting in the wings? If not, expect to.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 19) A decision made on Tuesday sparks drama and opportunity. A partner is involved and money’s a factor. There’s also a chance for intimacy. If you weren’t one of those spiritual Pisceans, I’d think you were about to walk on the wild side.

Minerva’s mailbag

Q: I’m a Scorpio, he’s Scorp. We’re both guys. How can I know where I stand?

A: You can’t, completely. Here at last is a person who isn’t even a little bit afraid of you, a person who understands and sympathizes as no one else can, a man who shares your fascination for the weird and wild. Who else but another Scorp could mirror your intensity, charisma and magnetism so completely? Are we talking soulmate? Could be. Just remember to play nice with each other.
