"I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to do to get rich' said Gertrude Stein. Surprise, surprise, a brilliant idea spontaneously appears from nowhere as to how to fill the coffers. Unusual and maverick money making schemes fall into place. You have the gift of the gab to cultivate a wider network of contacts and you're at your most alluring and magnetic, prince/ss charming. Take it easy with moody co-workers and choose your words carefully. Make sure your breakdown cover is up to date. When it comes to love, fantasy clouds the picture and false idols fall off pedestals.
You’re the sign that thinks out of the box, so you’ll love the Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art, 150 works including Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol interpreted as if they were meant for extraterrestrials.
Barbican Art Gallery, Silk Street, London, EC1. 6th March – 18th May

February 20 - March 20
According to Ellen Sturgis Hooper, 'I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty, I woke - and found that life was duty'. Well not this month Pisces, there's a big difference between what excites you and what others think you should be doing. Make a wish list for your fairy godmother to make come true. The universe is on your side so think outside the box and aim high. Follow your intuition and feelings, even if partners resist. Big budget decisions should wait till April but it's time for a savings plan as you hit credit crunch. I can sing a rainbow, can you?
And while you’re tapping into serendipity you could be inspired by Angel of the North creator Antony Gormley and his exhibition of new work, Firmament. White Cube, 25 -26 Mason’s Yard, London, SW1. March 6th – 12th April.
March 21 - April 20
"I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty ... but I am too busy thinking about myself' said Edith Sitwell. Well you'll be too busy thinking about your baby on the 21st so that you ain't got time for nothing else, as the needs of me, myself and I go head to head with the demands of loved ones. You can go your own way, but others have the upper hand and challenge your plans. Turn on the charm.. Dump excess baggage and free up space and time as the momentum shifts. Careerwise, the only way is up!
And as it’s no time for sitting on your laurels, you’ll have to get rest vicariously. See the ultimate lie-in : Sleeping Beauty, choreographed by Marius Petipa with Tchaikovsky’s stunning score. March 13th till May 10th,

"I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing' said Katherine Mansfield. You'll be getting by with a little help from your friends throughout March, bringing ideas, inspiration and somebody to lean on. Self doubt leaves you feeling left outside alone, so love the one you’re with - yourself. Follow hunches and gut feelings over logic. Think big as vocational wheeling and dealing pays dividends. Burn your bridges and take the plunge, or as Joseph Campbell said, 'Follow your bliss'.
The women featured in the Birds Eye View Film Festival – dedicated to the talents of female directors – certainly did. So take inspiration from the likes of Golden Age Hollywood Comidiennes, Fashion in Film, and Victoria Wood.

Curb your enthusiasm for impulse buys this month and resist power struggles with partners or pals over the purse strings. When it comes to finance, follow the market and follow your hunches. The 21st highlights a tug of war between friends and lovers, kids and cash. Big career surprises are around the corner so wine and dine the great and the good as you'll be making an impression on those who count. For a payrise or promotion, try the 15th. It's ready, steady, go for it!
And if you’re a festival fan you’d better go for that too, as March 14th is the last day to register for a ticket to Glastonbury. You’ll need a passport sized pic, too. Tickets go on sale April 6th, festival June 27th-29th.

History repeating itself? Tread boldly where others fear to go and may the force be with you. Listen to the counsel of partners on the 7th but follow your instincts as you forge ahead. Watch your tongue as tensions come to a head on the 21st as taboo topics are raised and harsh words may be unleashed. Projects begun in the autumn come full circle and conclusions are reached. The way ahead is the road less travelled but bide your time and make major decisions in April. As Martin Luther King said 'Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step'.

"Tact is after all a kind of mind-reading' said Sarah Orne Jewett and nobody does it quite like you Libra. This month however, you'll need all your negotiating skills to juggle dramas around the home or workplace. You could fall out with a partner over money around the 7th. Please yourself rather than others, especially on the 21st when you'll be called upon to make the peace or face war with a mate over household or family concerns. Workwise, take the lead and go for gold. As the host/ess with the most, social intercourse with friends has you mingling with the high and mighty.
And be in no doubt that talking the lead will get you places, as new exhibition Brilliant Women: 18th Century Bluestockings shows. It celebrates the history of the ‘bluestockings’, educated women such as Elizabeth Montagu and Hannah More.

If it's romance you're looking for, dating is best avoided around the 21st. Mating is another matter as sex and money issues raise their head between live-in lovers. With Jupiter, the planet of wo/men of good fortune and excess in your personal banking zone, money comes in and goes out rapidly. Hit the town with friends for fun, adventure and new contacts. If it's a home on the range you've been seeking, then inspiration strikes on the 7th as to where and what. You can get it if you really want it!

A significant other insists on having it their own way but you're determined to bring them round to your way of thinking. The Full Moon brings a conclusion to disagreements and a chance to move on. The spotlight also shines on career matters and this is no time for looking to the past. Work, relationships and family all compete for your attention but keep the plates spinning or loved ones will feel neglected. On the 7th, online friendships turn to thoughts of love and for singles, an introduction may come via a neighbour or sibling. Eureka!
