The Scorpio moon speaks to our ids. It’s difficult to ignore what you want when you want it. Why only allow yourself a small pleasure when you can have a large one? Couples’ relationships are put to the test, and those who emerge victorious will strengthen their bonds. Professionals are wise to demand payment when services are rendered.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Earning potential expands through education. Take a class on-line! You can reclaim someone’s favor by coming clean on a small matter. Start on a clean slate. You have luck in auditions, interviews or premieres. People will applaud you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your love relationship is energized when you set aside time to spend together. You always knew someone’s callous behavior was a cover-up. Finalize plans for an upcoming family reunion. All eyes are on you tonight. You’ll shine!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Immerse yourself in a project. Your ability to get down to the nitty-gritty ensures success. Correspondence is spiced up with a racy letter. A friend’s radical beliefs spark your creativity. You have some creative ideas you’d like to share, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You try harder and make the grade because of it. Launch an innovative plan by bumping up your energy. Celebrate personal progress. When you do something, everyone follows. You were born a natural leader.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Inviting a genius to join your team pulls a project together that has been stagnating for months. You have tremendous luck with family visits and after-hour parties. Romantic partners propose mighty plans. Don’t be so quick to believe him/her.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 2). Success keeps the cash flowing! You’ll receive a loan or grant you applied for within the next month. A small business change helps your bottom line through July, but a drastic move in September is the real money-maker. The critics will compliment you in November. A new romantic relationship will get very serious by December. Your best signs for love is Libra. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 9, 22, 59 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Independent thinking pays off big, so believe in yourself. A Gemini can help you make money with your highly original ideas. Clear the clutter in your drawers before going out tonight. Social graces attract a romantic follower.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you offer help, a whole new world opens up to you. A social meeting with an influential person strengthens your ambition and determination to achieve your goals. A soon-faded romance will find a new spark at an unexpected place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Catch up on overdue bills. You have the gift of gab, and you will surely display it tonight with friends. Fantastic bonds are cemented with lengthy discussions. Doubts related to your mate are slowly dissipating. Practice trust.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s not a good day to challenge authority. Indecision in a relationship prolongs your discomfort. Make a commitment – it’s exciting! Tonight’s events remind you that nobody else can define you. Your opinion counts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Lofty ideas have practical uses. Remember the details of an agreement so you don’t let a friend down. Traveling brings you success, and you’ll be happy whereever you end up. Extra money is on the way, so be on the lookout.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Join forces with a pal to accomplish something bigger than you, because anything is possible when you work in twos. Be lenient with those who make careless mistakes. Nostalgic dreams remind you of your childhood days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may be using an external aid for an internal wound, so start the healing process by examining your emotional self. Relax and concentrate on being as healthy as possible. Children’s activities are fun for all. They look up to you.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I need your help! I was born July 23, 1966, and my ex-boyfriend was born Aug. 7, 1973. I love him, but he moved into his own place. I think he just used me, but I still love him. Do you think we can ever have a relationship again?"

Although you were born on the first day of Leo, your chart is dominated by Cancer influences with your moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter all deposited in this highly emotional water sign. You have an overwhelming need to be needed and feel most comfortable at home with close friends and your soul mate at your side. Your ex is a Leo with his moon in Sagittarius and Mars in Aries, a strong fire sign that labels him as outgoing and well-liked, with a tendency toward brashness and impulsive behavior. His Mars in Aries makes a difficult aspect to your Cancer influences, so his impetuous nature will continue to cause emotional turmoil for you. Your chart shows you are wise beyond your years, if you choose to learn from your mistakes. This may be difficult for you now, but by this time next year, you’ll be with someone who truly appreciates you, and not with someone who will use you.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Alanis Morissette is a fine example of Gemini’s ability to capture the public interest and set trends. Morissette, as well as other Gemini artists, excel at blazing trails for other artists because they are fearless about the personal repercussions of doing something the critics won’t like. Being mentally centered, as intellectual Geminis always are, helps them brush criticism aside. Morissette could become engaged in January 2002.
