What you’ve held back for so long will come rushing forth during this full moon in Virgo. Concentrate on improving your personal life. Exercise and a good diet are the keys to restoring balance. Speaking your mind figures prominently also. Even if you don’t feel like voicing your opinion, it’ll be hard to stop yourself. Reserve some compassion for others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Family love is your source of power. Your energy is terrific for tackling duties. The phone just keeps ringing. Do what’s good for everyone. If you are the winner in a tough competition, the pleasure will be transient, so share the wealth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you make the best out of a bad situation, you’ll gain loyal friends who’ll admire you for years to come. Artists will receive good news about their work. A marriage proposal is featured for live-in romantic partners. Be decisive tonight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Postpone appointments until you are prepared for them. A casual acquaintance might offer you a better living arrangement. Help is also available through a community organization. Go on an exciting date with a Taurus or Scorpio

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Change your appearance. People will notice the new you, and you’ll view the world from a different perspective. You’ll find opportunities for love when you listen and pay close attention to what’s going on in your environment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep things fresh by changing your focus when others get stuck in a rut. Reading helps to solve a problem. A family member may meet your financial requests within reason. Dance tonight. Practicality will help you save money in the long run.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (February 27). This is a year for proving yourself. It will make you proud to be able to deliver what you say you can do. The money you’ll make next month is closely connected to a talent or contact you have been nurturing for years. May will be romantic for singles; they’ll find love through work or education. Your soulmates are Gemini and Libra. Couples could marry in July. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 1, 18 and 29.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your mate may request more of your time, but what he or she really needs is more quality attention. Your unselfish actions will be rewarded. Making money requires risk; your new business idea is timely. Mentors will offer their help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ease your career frustrations by making common-sense decisions. It’s not hard to believe that a good job is out there for you. All you have to do is find it. Longing for an ex-mate will fade, so don’t act on it. Dreams provide valuable lessons.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Negative vibes will soon turn positive; meanwhile, encourage those around you to make progress n areas where everyone agrees. The search for security may lead you to a terrific opportunity. Follow a friend’s suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Read tonight; you’ll learn new trade secrets. Social functions highlight your natural graciousness – you know what to overlook. Your happy clients will give you great referrals. You’ll get the chance to work with one of your heroes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Instead of giving in to stress and chaos, look for opportunities to hire a temp or outsource. Delegate, and do what it takes to make your life easier. Headhunters are better off going by the book. Money will be available to you soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Home projects will take on new urgency, and you’ll have plenty of enthusiasm to see them through. Love is fantastic with a Libra or Virgo. Return messages and phone calls today – catching up on correspondence is very important.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Financial offers can be topped, so don’t settle for anything less than what you desire. Tonight, you’ll set off a chain of special money luck. Your intelligence will get you that long-awaited raise. Love motivates a vigorous career pursuit.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am currently seeing three women. I was born on Aug. 28, 1949, in New Orleans. The first woman I am seeing was born on Oct. 9, 1946; the second on Feb. 6, 1954; and the third one on Aug. 9, 1954. Who is the best match for me?"

You are a Virgo with a Libra moon and plenty of other Libra and Virgo influences in your chart that suggest you really do want to settle down with someone who push you to be the best you can be, and vice versa. You have no interest in laying the field, as others might think of someone who’s dating three women at once. Rather, your quest is so serious, you’d like to sample as much as you can in the shortest period of time so that you may quickly make your decision and settle with Ms. Right. At first, your Libra woman (Oct. 9) seemed like the best match, but the more you get to know her, the more complicated she becomes. Similarly, your Aquarius woman (Feb. 6) seemed to be light and breezy, but the longer you know her, the more she eludes you. However, your Leo lady (Aug. 9) is about as straightforward as they get. If there’s a match in this bunch, it’s the lioness. I’m convinced there’s a fourth woman you’re dating. She’s more compatible for you than any of these three.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Glenn Close could endorse a metaphysical book or spiritual education this year, and she’ll continue to make her mark as one of America’s most esteemed actresses. As a Pisces with Mercury and Mars in the sign of spirit, her interest in spiritual principles is growing. Her Venus/moon conjunction in thoughtful Aquarius promises she has no problems following the intelligence of the universe, her subconscious or intuition.
