There’s no need to do it all yourself. The Libra sun guides you in matching up with the appropriate partners to help you get the job done. The moon in Taurus is a grounding force in the wake of a full moon. Now that the cards are on the table, thanks to secrets revealed in the full moon, you can now assimilate important information and take steps in a new direction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Time is on your side, so don’t get frustrated at schedule changes. Keeping someone’s secret makes you a friend for life. You’ll dazzle o the social scene tonight by playing it cool and sophisticated. Your timid nature is also highlighted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Success comes when you reach for goals that surpass material wealth. By being a superb listener, your speaking skills automatically improve. Dealing with a loved one’s frustrations burdens you tonight, but it will make you stronger.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Hold out for big money, instead of settling for the first offer that comes along. Take calculated, not impulsive, risks. You can’t go wrong when you follow the golden rule in matters of love. It even works with strangers.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Trying to win others over to see your point of view may drain you of more energy than it’s worth. You need to feel as if you are growing to be truly happy. Use the savvy money tips that a smart Capricorn offers you tonight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Stay in touch with people from the past on occasions other than the holidays. You have major luck while making calls from out of the blue. Don’t let differences over money spoil a warm relationship. Your healing power is activated tonight.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (January 10). It’s a year when you benefit from numerous social advantages, including wonderful relationship possibilities. There’s almost nothing you could do to mess up your romantic appeal for three consecutive weeks. Someone wants to commit, and it will be a positive move for both of you. Your best month for marriage is July, and the likely candidate is an Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 26, 32, 48 and 14.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Accept invitations. Being seen has a positive impact on your career. If you believe your resources are limitless, they will be. Telling too much too soon weakens romantic bonds. Your financial scene gets a natural boost this afternoon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are influenced by a major player in your field. Money matters go well now, but just remember, lavish gifts won’t buy one. Give yourself more to look forward to – start making plans. You are inclined to star your own business!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Love shouldn’t stifle you. Those who appreciate your for who you are will make you feel free. Your past experience provides solutions. Community projects are lucky. Pursue career projects at a slow pace. Praise yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Abandon your to-do list, and go with what your heart wants. Colleagues respect your courage and determination, but an aggressive tone in your voice will not be tolerated. A new love interest is trying hard to impress you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Formulating new ideas is stressful, so be patient, and above all, don’t give up. An employer reports a glowing recommendation of you. People you once believed had nothing in common with you turn out to be great friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s your sales tactics, not the product, that make a big sale this afternoon. Promote an idea with all the enthusiasm you posses, and it is sure to catch on. Encourage a child to do his or her best at school. The day ends on a romantic note.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Be ready to defend your beliefs – a second or third attempt will surely succeed. Borrowing money from a relative is ill-advised. Someone close to you would be thrilled if you could commit to a long-term agreement. Have it in writing.

astrological questions: "I recently read something in your column that I think applies to my girlfriend. I don’t want to lost her, we’ve been together for three and a half years. Are a Gemini and Aquarius right for each other? Please give me some insight."

The answer to your question is yes, the astrological signs of Gemini and Aquarius are compatible. Geminis have charismatic personalities, and they often end up running the show. They enjoy spending time with the opposite sex and usually get a lot of attention from them. Gemini complements the fixed nature of Aquarius by adapting to their moods with an easygoing attitude. Aquarius suits Gemini by adding structure to its inventive mind. As far as what you read, daily astrology forecasts are not meant to scare the reader into a belief of impending doom. On the other hand, if the shoe fits, wear it! If you suspect your girlfriend may be attracted to someone else, and your forecasts asks you to look at that information, you may have an advantage by doing so. But if you believe the information probably does not apply to you, don’t get yourself worked up over speculation! Good luck.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Bruce Springsteen is a Libra with both Mercury and the moon deposited in the sign of balance and harmony. No wonder he’s so famous for being a family man and writer of love songs. Libra is the sign of harmonious relationships and artistic genius. With Mars in Leo, Springsteen’s talent in commercialism will never die.
