With Mars transiting into the sign of wise Pisces, there will be good news ahead regarding our global journey toward peace. Pisces is a wise placement for the warrior, as it encourages top military leaders to make sound decisions. The moon shifts into Libra, the sign of partnership. Work with your peers as a team, and have a little fun in the process.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being organized will free up some time for an adventure. A personal problem needs your attention now. Do not implement the first solution, as you’ll gain insight by reviewing your past. A Gemini or Pisces wants to be more than friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Attitude is king in your book. It’s not what you do, but how you do it. Gestures of appreciation and exclamations of love are featured tonight – shout it out from the rooftop! Begin a new chapter in your love journal tonight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could be very protective of your ideas and projects suddenly. In fact, you treat them as if they were your children. Don’t be too hard on inexperienced or younger people who are doing their best; you were there once, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sell your junk, and enjoy your earnings. Don’t be too proud to make an about-face; it may not be the best move to make. Stay confident, even if you don’t know where the road will lead you. Your courage will take you a long way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 8). This year, put your talents to work, and earn money while you’re at it. If you charm your way into a partnership within the next five weeks, you’ll continue to profit from it for years to come. Expect a marriage proposal in April. Those who consider going back to school will have terrific luck if they enroll for the spring semester. Your best sign for romance is Leo. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 22, 6, 14 and 10.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A humdrum romance made you neglect your appearance in the past, but now you have something to prove. Spice things up, and you’ll shine both physically and mentally! Reserve judgment – it will be a lucky move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be offered a chance to succeed where you previously failed. Devote every ounce of your energy to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What you say will be subject to multiple interpretations. Be clear when making requests.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dazzling romantic hopefuls will blind you with their fantastic wit and humor. You’ll receive a brilliant offer if you go though different channels of public relations. Tackle large projects or chores this afternoon. Relax tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll have the upper hand regarding a competition, whether it be in romance or business. Others will find it hard to resist your deliberate requests. Ask for world if someone offers to give you anything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The tension between your career and home life is strong. Some things you want are not worth fighting over, especially tonight, when arguments will pop up nowhere. A distant family member would love to hear from you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s time to stretch yourself to your limits. Give yourself a chance to enjoy situations that at first seemed odd, unfamiliar or out of your league. Later, you’ll laugh about it while relaxing with your most trustworthy friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s lucky to tackle the issues you usually avoid, so what are you waiting for? Take on one obligation at a time. You’ll reap splendid results by taking action aggressively in your personal life. Help children with their school projects.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m transferring from one college to another. I’m still not so sure if it’s the right move. I succeeded in my studies when my love life and social live are intact, and they haven’t been going smoothly since I started college. I’m hoping this change will help my social life. What do you think? I’m a Leo born on Aug. 6, 1980."

It’s wonderful that you know yourself so well at such a young age. In the end, you’ll be glad you changed schools now, instead of waiting and finding out it’s too late. You’ll have plenty of time to make new friends. Your Gemini moon assures your ability to make friends. As long as you show true-blue enjoyable and comfortable to be with. Your Mercury in Cancer may cause you to brood over imagined (or real) slights or misunderstandings in relationships. Keeping a diary or having an e-mail pal may help you sort things out on emotionally stressful days. With Mars in Libra, you’ll enjoy public speaking, law and politics. If you concentrate on being a good friend and a good student, popularity and romance will come along naturally.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Next year will be spectacular for Keith Richards as he invests in a lucky new product. Perhaps it may having something to do with travel, like a fleet of top-of-the-line trucks, or a new kind of instrument case for musicians. Richards will not only make millions, but he’ll also help a young entrepreneur get his or her idea off the ground. Richards is a true rolling stone with his sun and aggressive Mars in Sagittarius, ruler of travel.
