ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I have been dating this guy for the past two years, and I don’t know where I stand. He is unpredictable. He seems to be in love, and the next week, there is no way of knowing how he may feel about me. It seems as if I am being tested all the time. I’m tired of playing the guessing game with him. I would like to know if there is a future for the two of us. My birthday is Aug. 8, 1965, and his is Jan. 19, 1961."

Leo and Capricorn can be a difficult combination. He is much more cautious than you and may even disapprove of your fun-loving generosity, mistaking it for flirtation. He may be secretly jealous of your ability to connect with so many people on so many different levels. This makes him feel threatened, and he may even believe that you do not necessarily love him as much as you say you do. He is a much more private person that you are, though you may not think so because he has so many friends (his Aquarian moon and Mercury). His friendships are very different from yours, and he may feel more alone than he appears. If you don’t expect him to be in a predictable good mood, and if you can overlook his insecurities, you’ll done fine. However, a person more like him would have an easier time of it.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Singer Bonnie Raitt has it down when it comes to expressing her true feelings through music. When it comes to singing the blues, Scorpio women have it covered. The honesty in Raitt’s voice rings out and touches people in a way that helps them feel her own pain. For this ability, Scorpio is considered a healer. Her unique Scorpio power to be brutally honesty gives her musical resonance. With Mercury (communication) in Scorpio, this power is augmented. Listen for a hot new male artist or boy band to cover her tunes in2002. This will be the ultimate form of flattery for her.
