Today's Birthday (03/20/11). All you need is love. Nothing else really matters. Author Patricia Selbert ("The House of Six Doors") says, "True love is big and free, and, when you fly on the wings of love, you get a glimpse of heaven itself."

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Today presents challenges. Together with a partner, you can sail these rough seas. Stay focused, present and quiet inside, even with 10-foot waves. Learn to surf.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Should you run a marathon in old, less-supportive shoes, or wear the new ones that you haven't broken in yet? You know the answer. Talk to your feet.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Spend sometime outdoors with family and children. Go on a hike. The best things in life are free, and today's good for inexpensive pleasure. Save money by lazing around.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Sometimes it's hard to get out of the house, but you know you'll be grateful. Give time to reflect on the day's challenges before you address them. This pays.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Again, self-discipline and thrift pay off today. Don't judge yourself (or others) harshly ... you may not see results right away, but consistent forward movement keeps up the momentum.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Own the rules to win by them. To own something, practice it to mastery. Play the game with that goal. Don't worry about the other guy's game, his cards or comparisons.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Someone else may seem more beautiful, fit or desirable. Let go of comparisons, and just go out and play. Moving your body is good for all of you, and it's free.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Six-time Ironman Triathlon Champion Mark Allen failed six times before his unbeatable streak. He finally won by being himself. Be open to failure. It provides the missing link.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- It's a good time to develop a routine to handle boring, repetitive work. Whenever possible, inject some fun into it by inviting friends to join in. Save your pennies.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Routines could be tedious, but then again, practice makes perfect. Slow down to get there faster. Add play to the equation, and include time with your family.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Stick to your high standards. A child has a valuable insight. Plan your travel itinerary well with a good map. Avoid rush hour. Take a detour on a whim, if you like.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Focus on your career. Choose family over friends. They'll understand. It's not a good day to lend or borrow money. Take time for simple pleasures.
