Now that you’re serous about the changes you want to make in your life, it’s a perfect night to express what your dreams and goals are. Scorpio’s influences will help you be straightforward, and if you can get someone to help you be accountable for the promises you’ve made, you’ll certainly be ahead of the game. Lighten up every once in a while.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Increase your ability to focus on top-priority personal matters. Even a healthy love life might get stale if you keep doing the same old things together. You need to introduce new adventures into the picture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you approach others with a warm demeanor, they will respond kindly. Find an interest you can become obsessed with a positive way – you’ll meet kindred souls while pursuing your passions. Help a friend discover his or her new self.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be willing to take decisive action to forestall a blowout. Needing more time to yourself has nothing to do with your love for a special individual. You would make a wonderful teacher, and you will surely pass your knowledge down to others.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have secret resources of energy you have yet to tap into. A surprise event will lead to financial gains. You’ll get a chance to break away from the pack and be an innovator. Your original discovery will win you applause.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Spice up your love life. An investment of your time will finally pay off. You’ll have a chance to really get to know someone who is new to your circle. Keep a private matter to yourself, because next week, you’ll feel differently about it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 24). Be sure you don’t inadvertently cause problems for yourself by having a skeptical attitude. Stay in control of your own destiny, but avoid trying to control others – it won’t work. You are more than welcome to give advice to them. If you work on boosting your self-esteem, the rest will fall into place. Love will be intoxicating in December, especially with a Taurus of Gemini. Avoid making hasty commitments in January. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 33, 29, 37 and 6.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be sure you don’t inadvertently cause problems for yourself by having a skeptical attitude. Stay in control of your own destiny, but avoid trying to control others – it won’t work. You are more than welcome to give advice to them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your assistance makes parties a blast and fund-raising events a success. A Scorpio is desperate for your attention. It is honorable, but not appreciated, to play peacemaker between feuding siblings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take a professional gamble, or go with a whim. Spend time with friends who have more money, clout or ambition – their gains will rub off on you. Your success will be short-circuited if you quit too son, so don’t give up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re an expert at wowing others and will be the official style consultant at whatever festivity you decide to attend. Unexpected complications will require your patience. If you’re cooking dinner, start early.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Explosive charisma will be yours this afternoon. Pay attention to the details of your personal appearance, and you’ll feel fresh for giving your affection to someone dear. Wearing anything silver will definitely bring you luck.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Draw boundaries to keep romantic tension from getting out of hand. Reminder: You’re in the driver’s seat! Agreeing on property matters will solve half your problems. Singles might fall in love while helping a friend or boss.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s time to take what you do on a small scale and bring it into the big picture. Make conscious choices so you don’t have to repeat mistakes you’ve made in the past. Artistic inspiration will solve work-related problems.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: I’m a Cancer born on July 20, 1981, and I like a Gemini female born on June 3, 1985. I want to know if there is any possibility of us being together. Why do I feel as if I can be all she’ll ever need in a partner? How can I let her know that I truly love her without destroying our friendship? I’ve known her for three years."

As next door neighbors on the zodiacal wheel, you probably have toyed with ideas of becoming more intimate with this Gemini a million times, but always thought that your relationship was too familial to take it to another realm. In other words, kissing her would be like kissing your sister. With your Pisces moon, you’re much more sensitive that she is, and you might even by psychic – but not so much in matters of love. Here’s the most important thing I must impart to you: You are an exciting Cancer with sex appeal and will have many relationships in the future. Once you try to take your "friendship" to another level with this Gemini, there is no going back. If the relationship doesn’t work, you’ll likely not be able to salvage the friendship either. So ask yourself honestly if you’re willing to risk it.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Toni Collette is a Scorpio on the rise. She has ambitions that rival the top people in her field. It’s a particularly great career year for Scorpio women born in 1972, as they define themselves through their work. Special partners will enter the picture in January who may help move things to the next level. Changing view about work, art and politics will also provide a motivating boost in the spring for Collete.
