The Scorpio sun and Cancer moon couldn’t be more compatible. Sure, everyone is a bit emotional or sensitive, but at least they’ll play it cool. Keep trying to connect with a person who is hard to reach. You need to be acknowledged and loved. It takes a special person to respond to the needs of others under an astrological influence like this.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re better off not questioning authority and simply getting the job done. Love has a way of opening your heart to affectionate people. Add a special personal touch to whatever you do. Someone important is watching you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Although you may be focused and ready for action, relaxation is what you really need now. Face a problem in the afternoon, when there will be several solutions offered to you at once. Think "team spirit" if you want to succeed quickly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Controlling a relationship will create anger and hostility. You’ll make headway in resolving a conflict between your business and domestic interests. Reap success by implementing innovative practices. Go public with a fresh idea.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be open, and a loved one will honor your wishes. Your unpopular boss can prevail only a little while longer, so hang in there. Your luck will allow you to mingle with social bigwigs this evening. A Pisces can keep your secret.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Enjoy frolicking outdoors for a lion’s share of pleasure – you’ll be happy and content as long as you avoid being overexposed in the public eye. Business is low-key but good. The best sign for you to flirt with is Taurus.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 19). You’ll be thrilled to show the world what you can do, and consequently, you’ll discover the true colors of those who are close to you. Give yourself the support you need. Couples may be fickle, but you know exactly what you want. The bonds you form in January will last a lifetime. Taurus and Libra will have a glorious influence on your career. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 35, 20, 14 and 2.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Express your opinions – you’ll find support from the most unlikely people. Instead of complaining, write your grievances down! Hang out with a Scorpio or Capricorn who admires your talents. You’ll be rewarded for your services.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get your financial matters straightened out, and remember to shy away from offers that have strings attached. You don’t need more problems. A former flame will claim to be a changed person! Increase your technical knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Having a new love relationship will help you bounce right back. Quarrelling couples: Make up for good. Break out of your normal routine if you want to expand your realm of influence. Evaluations will get a special touch of luck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Master a difficult task now, while teachers and tutors are close at hand. Your style and flair will make a winning impression. Be hopeful about your financial future, because money will roll in and establish financial stability.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A co-worker will send romantic signals – this could be true love, but put it to the test to make sure. Work hard so that you may pay off a big debt. Don’t turn anything down just because it requires your blood, sweat and tears.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Money will come to you in one lump sum. A foe will take your side in a strange twist of fate. Be firm when dealing with students or subordinates. Instead of responding to an associate’s rudeness, be the model of dignity.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m an Aquarius. My relationships often fall apart over power issues. Giving up control is difficult for me. Does this show in my chart?"

Your chart displays two distinct polarities: the desire for independence and a drive to foster cooperation within groups. You are gifted with ample good sense, as indicated by your Jupiter (law) in Capricorn (management) and Saturn (structure) in Virgo (precision). You can manifest what you envision. One possible pitfall of this combination is that you become over concerned with the letter of the law, losing sight of the underlying rules and regulations. The clash between Jupiter and Neptune (ideals) suggests this area could be a continual challenge for you. Lighten up! At the other end of your zodiacal spectrum is egalitarian Aquarius, who is independent, unorthodox and brimming with fair-minded good will toward humankind. These are your Aquarian planets: Sun (your core self), Mercury (mind, communication) and Mars (dynamic drive). This grouping suggests that learning the art of teamwork and cooperation is a significant life lesson for you. Balance is the key. Your challenge is to clearly define yourself, your goals and your direction, while blending your personal desires with actions that equally benefit you and the groups of work with.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scorpio Parker Posey shows the realism that makes her so funny in her many "mocumentary" appearances, where she ad-libs characters. The ability to ad-lib is a Scorpio specialty, since they ride very close to the subconscious and have no problem saying that is on their minds. Since honesty and pain are the roots of comedy, and Scorpios have no problem being funny, Posey may surprise us in 2002!
