The moon enters Taurus this afternoon. The fog clears from your mind, and the ability to focus returns with a vengeance. If you need to redouble your efforts to meet a deadline, don’t hesitate to do so. The Virgo sun and Taurus moon allow for a healthy mix of family and hard work. A lot of wisdom is garnered now from hanging out with elders and children alike.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Focus on your career. You’re looking far into the future. Consider returning to school, learning a language or acquiring computer skills. New horizons also open from updating the skills you’ve had for some time. Discover the new you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you expect of others is small compared to what you expect from yourself. The morning hours set the tone for the rest of the day. Guard yourself against distraction, or you won’t get anything done. Go on a shopping spree tonight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Figures don’t add up. Fix errors this morning while they are still reparable. Simple truths strike you as profound information tonight. Dreams will be wild as you process new information in your sleep. Write down if you have to.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have more to offer the professional world than you give yourself credit for. Think big, if you don’t want to sell yourself short! An issue related to your past must be resolved before your marriage can grow. Taking gambles is too risky.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The money flows faster once you move your schedule around. Take care of messy personal situations before they impose on your life. Children put you to the test. Be patient, and lay down the rules with your sweetest voice. They’ll listen.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (September 6). You are sublimely directed, which helps you get what you want quickly. A romance you start with an older Leo or Libra colleague or mentor within the next the weeks could be the real thing. Expect a bigger salary in October. Use the winter months to forge stronger bonds with family members and make new friends. Marriage is featured next April. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 26, 18 and 4.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can do more with current resources than you are now. Feed your curiosity in regard to how others succeed. You may want to take notes, too. Legal matters are decided in your favor. Enjoy a homemade meal with the family tonight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are too attached to your latest masterpiece to know how to market it. Step back to gain objectivity. Take a risk, and play the fool. Tell your romantic partner exactly what’s on your mind. You won’t be ashamed you did.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The last stages of a project require more time than you bargained for, but it’s completion will lead to fresh insights. The rave reviews you receive for ingenuity attract the sexiest singles. Friends are your best link to new work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be willing to adjust your schedule for demanding projects. Paying attention to the little things lest your mate know you mean what you say. Update your wish list – you’ve outgrown what you thought you wanted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who communicates the best makes the most money. Leading the team is your challenge after lunch, even if the team only consists of three people. Instead of focusing on what doesn’t work, enhance what does, and build on it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A little pressure on the job makes you realize how much you do every day that is taken for granted. It’s time to ask for what you’re worth. Doing research is time-consuming, but you’ll be glad you did it. Spend the evening alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Hard work places a dream within reach, so forget about luck for now. Wheeling and dealing is featured in the morning. Leo and Cancer singles are extremely attracted to you. You have a blast when you flirt and get devilish tonight!

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I want to find the perfect man. Will people think I’m a desperate Libra if I try an on-line dating service? What if a service sets me up?"

As a Libra, you probably feel that life will be automatically better with a partner and that you are unfulfilled if you don’t have one. It’s not true, and as soon as you start having more fun on your own, you’ll be inundated with dates. Before signing up with a service, make sure you are feeding your soul with plenty of nonsexual social energy. Classes, make-overs, intellectual groups and sports are all worthy activities. Focusing elsewhere will help you get ready for the lighthearted dating you will be doing for at least five months before Mr. Serious Relationship come along. If getting started on this mission of love seems difficult, you are not alone. A Libra expects it to be easy, and sometimes it is – but it can also be a full-time endeavor. Don’t feel foolish about putting effort into finding your ideal partner.
