Venus decides to join Scorpio’s party. Suddenly, it will become very important to "get real" in your relationships. Don’t worry too much about the future, rather, center yourself and ask hard questions. This can be applied not only in your love life, but in the office, too. It’s a good time to remember that you are the one who got you where you are now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your charm will impress the bigwigs in a social situation. A promotion is in line for you, but don’t go asking for it just yet. Take your time in choosing what you really want from your job, but make a decision by the end of the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Engage in energetic pursuits, and start up new ones once you finish existing projects. New beginnings will be laced with luck. You’ll get an offer you can’t refuse. Keep dreaming big. Celebrate a friend’s good fortune at a restaurant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Untie romantic knots, especially those largely due to your indecisiveness. Some of your friends aren’t loyal. Drop someone from your circle whose negative influence holds you back. Situations at work complement your social life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A harmless flirtation will turn into something more passionate. Be careful; you might get caught in a love triangle – those aren’t fun. Everyone wants autonomy, so respect the wishes of others. Shift your attention from love to business.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Dress for success tonight. Making a good impression will lead to a promotion and better reputation. Financial security will be available to you as soon as you practice self-discipline. Holding a small dinner party will boost your social energy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 22). The year features love in full bloom. The social scene will hum in the next seven weeks, and singles will make a multitude of magical love connections, especially if they’re made with Libra or Aquarians. Your money sector will light up in January, and everything you touch will turn to gold. The public will respond well to you in May. Spring will be full of bliss. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 4, 39, 41 and 26.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make money by using your creative ingenuity. If you believe in something, it will come your way. You’ll find a new love potential who lives in your neighborhood. Someone you’ve known for a long time will need your special attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whether or not a deal goes through will depend on your ability to do proper research. Exercise; it will purify your body and mind. Try not to keep your romantic partner waiting this afternoon. Besides, it’s unlucky to disappoint anyone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do someone a favor only if you are genuinely moved to do so. A stressful situation will affect you in drastic ways. Keep a cool head. Don’t abandon old-fashioned principles. Your integrity won’t go unnoticed this evening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A business partner will seek your best efforts, so stay focused on the tasks at hand. A nemesis will finally disappear or will no longer pose a threat to you. Grasp the significant of a relationship now, before it is too late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are powerful in your own right and don’t need to use anyone else’s name to gain popularity. However, delicate egos require plenty of stroking. If you can’t do it, be sure you don’t bruise someone’s fragile sense of self.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You could get bombarded with requests and offers this afternoon. Be specific about what you are willing to give. A new love interest could distract you from concentrating on your work. Seek happiness, and don’t overanalyze things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relieve yourself of stress by visiting someone who adores you. To be strong means to be free of tension and bitterness. Exercise in order to improve your endurance. A change in your everyday routine will be permanent.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I took care of my mother, who died recently, for the last three years. She was fatally ill, and of her three daughters I was her nurse and most equipped to handle her illness. I feel resentful because my sisters both have romantic partners in their lived, but I, having been to consumed with work and caring for my mother, never seem to meet anyone. I crave companionship. Now that my mother is gone, will I ever find someone to love and possibly marry? I was born on July 9, 1938."

Caring Cancer, though the idea of changing residence may sound unsettling to you now, you’ll benefit from an out-of-state or out-of-country relocation. You will absolutely thrive in a new atmosphere. As far as your sisters go, you need to separate yourself from them for a while. You don’t really begrudge them their happiness, but the feelings of resentment you have shows that a part of you has been neglected for the past three year, and it now needs some tender, lover care. Be bold. Make this move in February. It will include getting a new job and a whole new set of friends, but you’re up to the task. Love will come along just when you decide that your new life is so much fun that you forget to look for romance. Virgo and Scorpio are your lucky love signs, and marriage is very likely at the end of 2002.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scorpio Calista Flockhart could get married this year! She and other female Scorpios born in 1964 feel the need to learn more about themselves by being in a position to nurture others. Paradoxically, focusing on others will bring the greatest wisdom of all. The luckiest wedding month for Flockhart is July, and a super small, private ceremony is the best way for her to get hitched in 2002.
