ARIES (March 21-April 19). Find time for personal interests; develop your extraordinary culinary talents. Love with a Taurus or Capricorn is favored. Taking full responsibility for present circumstances is the key to a miraculous turnaround.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You "find" yourself by studying the past – try to stay in contact with an old friend. A reunion leads to romance. An impossible schedule makes life too hard; drop activities and organizations in which you are not sincerely interested.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Seek information instead of instant success. If you are process oriented, life will bring you the desired result more quickly. The morning is lucky for all types of consultations. With a little ingenuity, you capture the attention of a quirky individual.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll need to work harder to maintain momentum in a relationship, but it proves worth your while. Singles hitch to a Leo for big fun and travel. Wait on a major decision until after the weekend instead of pressuring yourself to resolve it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be daring; you must also believe that you can do it all. You’re well-equipped to make important decisions; but talking with a Libra could make you feel better about them anyway. This weekend marks the dawn of a new love relationship.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 29). It’s a year of astounding personal and financial growth. Hire help, or you’ll miss out on important opportunities in the next three weeks. Romantic commitment doesn’t seem as scary for singles as it once did, especially if an Aries is involved. Go for it in April, when marriage and other forms of commitment are favored. Your lucky month for career is May. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 39, 22, 28 and 43.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Beware of people with excessively rigid agendas. You are creatively stimulated by the exotic. Relationships are particularly satisfying when you accept what others have to contribute, no matter how limited it may seem.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Fiscal woes can be dissolved with imaginative fixes. You will be challenged at work; show guts in all interactions. Saturday night will bring a new influence. A Taurus or Pisces makes your heart flutter! He or she perfectly complements you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your intensity attracts the most fascinating people. You are focused on what others expect of you. Practice using intuition to get back in touch with what you want. Grasping reality will help strengthen your self-perception.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll get valuable criticism and turn it into big money with the right attitude. Work on creating self-esteem on your own, especially with one that’s impervious to the opinions of others. You’ll have fantastic luck with blind dates.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). All the sign posts of true love are in place, so trust your judgment. Your fast thinking could make you a social hero tonight. The weekend will bring emotional exchanges and genuine displays of appreciation. You’re extraordinary!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have sex appeal. If you avoid confrontations, you luck out – they disappear, at least temporarily. You are in the power position at home, so don’t be a bully. You will soon have validity of statements you’ve made all along.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: The Leo moon makes us love to dress up, date, see, and be seen on the scene. Friday night includes getting out in style and impressing everyone with a flair for the dramatic. Saturday will simmer down under the Virgo moon, and it will be more about nurturing established relationships than starting new ones. Aries: You are too busy expanding your world to attend to petty concerns, even by your closes loved ones. Taurus: You can’t help but spend money on yourself even if it wasn’t in the plan – but this gives you confidence. Gemini: Being the third wheel is a blast, and you’ll meet a "fourth wheel" whenever you travel as the odd man out. Cancer: Unhappy? Go shopping. Leo: Lovers of friends are strictly off limits. Virgo: You’ll discover romance in a learning environment. Libra: Church, political arenas, community groups and clubs fill with singles you’d love to know better. Scorpio: You enjoy a challenge, and you could chase that elusive one all weekend. Sagittarius: You’re in your prime. Capricorn: Go where you don’t know a soul, and reinvent yourself! Aquarius: Be the host – it’s more fun at your house. Pisces: Some romantic game-playing is healthy; keep things interesting.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: With the moon transiting through Virgo, natives of this sign light up with extra appeal. It would be hard to find a couple more compatible than Virgo and Pisces. Their strength is in collective dreams. They trust each other’s ability with fervor. Support is key. Virgo should be careful not to say anything that undermines Pisces’ talents, and Pisces should be present with plenty of physical affection to put Virgo at ease.
