The dynamic energy of the Leo moon may trick you into thinking you can do everything that comes your way, but there will probably be too much going on to get everything on the list done. Everyone wants center stage, as Leo’s energy creates the need for attention. Go out on the town, and see everything you’ve always wanted to see.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Good things will happen when you simply admit you were wrong. If you want to take things in a new direction with someone close, it’s better to move in that direction than to talk about in a new direction than to talk about it too much. A Sagittarius keeps an eye out for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Bonus money will come from an unexpected sale or family member. Either way, someone is overcome with generosity. Your mate will keep his or her word when you promise to do the same. Let an Aries join the party for extra luck.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Exes and past jobs will bring power to your present situation without directly interfering with your present relationship or career job. Creating a schedule that actually works is indeed a difficult task, so invest in a special organizer.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve mastered the art of delegation, and you’ll soon win free time for your efforts. Next week will be a better time to lend money out to needy friends. A realistic attitude and an artistic touch will help home improvements go smoothly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Challenge your own perspective by allowing outrageous events to occur and letting unique individuals into your life. A child will greatly appreciate a sacrifice you make for him or her. A wonderful Leo will bring a surprise gift for you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29). Over the next three weeks, persistence is all it takes to achieve your financial goals. Romance will bloom on the job or with someone you’ll meet during an out-of-town trip. September and December will be lucrative months. Your best signs for love are Cancer and Virgo. Ask your family members for support in getting a new project off the ground. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 21, 25, 30 and 38.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your influence in the artistic world will increase as you learn more about other artists. You are allowed to change your mind, and you should do it if that funny feeling is still nagging you. Take a Gemini’s advice regarding financial issues.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Embarking on a wild adventure, especially one that involves traveling via airplane, will bring romantic bliss. The assumptions you’ll want to make are wrong, so don’t bother even making them. Keep an open mind and think positively.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve been hesitant, but this morning is a terrific time to talk about how you feel to a loved one. Don’t withdraw funds from your savings account until you really need them. You may act the part of a protector for your younger friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your creative juices flow better in small groups. Postpone a date that conflicts with a family outing, even if you’d rather see your sweetheart than your parents. Children who get more of your attention will learn faster.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re the only one who can get a word out in the middle of family chaos, so make a difference, and say the right things. Evaluate an offer this afternoon – money should not be your prime consideration. Take music lessons.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Practice restraint. As much as you enjoy socializing, only you know when you’ve exceeded your limits. A friend will introduce you to your future boss, so be on your best behavior. Romantic entanglements are worth the time and trouble.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Focus on what you want and how to get it. A daytime trip will relieve a lot of built-up tension. Don’t overspend. You may have to reconsider a recent decision as more facts come to light.

FORECAST OF THE WEEK AHEAD: The solar influence in sensual Taurus keeps our appetites stimulated, and it increases our desire for fine ambiance and wonderful music. Combined with emotional influences (the Cancer moon), we look to our love lives to fill the void. Stability seems important now, but before the week is over, it’s clear what the best sense of security comes from knowing oneself. The Leo moon on Monday will be energetic and boisterous. A lot of progress is possible in personal projects. Promote yourself, be bigger than life, and don’t forget to tap into your star quality to sell your ideas. Tuesday, you’ll have to admit there’s a gap between your romantic fantasies and reality, but this is the first step to bridging the two realms. Exercise unconditional love – it doesn’t necessarily mean withholding discipline. The Virgo moon on Wednesday will nurture us. Listen to your pets, because they have wise things to tell you. Sore hearts will require solitary meditation. You will be sorry if you blab intimate details to a friend. The weekend will bring a couple-oriented Libra moon. With Mercury’s transit into playful Gemini, there will be parties to attend!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Taurus superstar Cher could have a high-profile wedding this year, as romantic sectors in her chart light up with activity. A Capricorn-moon baby, she is driven and determined a partner who is constantly exciting and challenging. A notorious bad boy will keep her interest longer than anyone who behaves predictably!
