Astrology 101: Did you know you have three signs (sun, moon and rising), not just one? Most people only know their sun sign, which is determined by their birth day and month, but the most accurate horoscope is actually chosen by your rising (or sometimes called ascendant) sign. Don’t know your rising sign? Use this free calculator. Once you know your ascendant/rising sign, be sure to read that horoscope below!
A special note for horoscopes this week, the Spring equinox will be on March 20 at 5:24 p.m.

Aries — Early in the week, your compassion could be sparked, inspiring you to work to help others. By Tuesday afternoon you’ll be focusing on your own requirements and should be mindful that even though you mean well, you might be coming off as self-righteous. Toward the end of the week, you will be drawn to luxury and beauty. Spending money on these things gives you a feeling of excitement.

Taurus — Start the week with an appreciation for the support of your friends. The Spring Equinox brings you a quiet feeling of being connected to nature. By midweek, you might notice that people find you especially attractive and magnetic in a way that goes beyond appearance. Be mindful this weekend of the Taurean tendency to say “mine” when it would be more accurate to say “ours.”
