The moon transits from Scorpio to Sagittarius, causing the day to take two distinct tones: You could either have a mild curiosity at breakfast that will turn into a driving ambition by lunchtime, or you may feel as if those around you just don’t understand your motives. Thanks to the moon’s swift progress, the tension will dissipate by nightfall.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a lot to learn from those who are self-motivated. Imitate those you admire. An invitation to a family function would lead to a new job. A romantic entanglement will spur creativity, but be careful – your heart is on the line.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t dismiss ides that do not coincide with your plan – it may be dangerous. Reconsider your ability to accomplish what seems impossible. The performance a versatile Scorpio gives may inspires you to try a little harder.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Surpass your goals, and aim higher. Your romantic partner thrives on challenge, so don’t be too easy on him or her! If you’re prepared to go the distance, you probably won’t have to. Your self-confidence will be high this afternoon.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Create a new business blueprint by extending your feelers everywhere. If you pout tremendous effort into a project not, it means that by this time next month, you’ll receive a fat check. Forgive a friend if you want to feel better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t listen to the same complaints over and over again, especially if the one doing all the complaining is you. Take an opportunity to invest in a small, but symbolic new venture. Your seductive charm will take an admirer’s breath away.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 15). You will have a very fruitful year. A dream you’ve long sought-after will come true by the end of January. You can also afford new equipment, a car or overseas travel by the new year. Pisceans and Aquarians will enrich your soul. Improve your financial picture by asking your mate to share the load through the summer months. Marriage will be a July getaway. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 4, 2, 1 and 9.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Effective listening is the key to making money. Your past experience will help you get through a sticky situation. Build your self-confidence. Focusing on your weaknesses might hurt your chance at finding real love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re increasingly in tune to the needs of others, but you should also pay attention to your own desires, too. A seldom-used talent could reap profits if you decide to use it. You’ll be the star on the social scene tonight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Business expansion is featured this afternoon, and you must emphasize cooperation if you want to succeed. There’s power in numbers now, so join an influential group. Stay mysterious – it will do wonders for your love life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even a realist like you can find a reason to have faith in your dreams. Say "no" to pushy friends. You’ll receive unsolicited, fabulous recommendations. Share the wealth with your loved ones, and pass along the good will.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Reveal the hidden sides of your personality. You posses the magical powers of persuasion. Fill out financial aid forms. Your best luck will come through a publishing, advertising or transportation venture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you stumped? Seek an expert’s advice. Time alone in the afternoon will help you maintain your inner poise and balance. Looking at things in a new light will help move your romantic life along. Your plans will go through tonight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s time to let a special child learn from his or her own mistakes! Skip the paperwork, and hang out with your friends instead. Your new flame needs plenty of time and space – give it to him or her. It will make your love last longer.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "How can I win back the love of a Scorpio man? I’m a Scorpio woman, and I’m worry I gave up so easily."

To regain a Scorpio’s love, you must walk a fine line between friendship and romance. Scorpio men want a woman they can talk with. Find out his interests, and become an expert in one of them. If you play a waiting game until the full moon on Friday, Nov. 30, your luck will coincide with his desire. Also, you must prove yourself trustworthy.

"I’m a Libra who never seems to have any luck in business, although it seems I’ve tried everything. When will I make a big sale? What will I need to do?"

Libras have bright ideas, and like many of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), they lacy the ability to follow through. When you put as much effort into marketing as you do into creating, you’ll have a breakthrough – Dec. 15, and the days thereafter, are perfect to do just that. If you find that your initial excitement isn’t carrying into the marketing of your project, team up. An Aquarius could bring you to the big money deals.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots is a sexy Scorpio whose image follows the typical Scorpion qualities closely. Sex appeal is a strong factor for this sin, and Weiland’s fans will agree that he’s got that area covered. Introspective, broody, smoldering, complicated and direct are also characteristics ascribed to Scorpio. Weiland could write songs that will blow competition out of the water next year.
