The Cancer moon makes us want to love and nurture something or someone. If you don’t want to do these things, expect a little resistance. Someone dear to you will make sure you get what you need, and you can expect a ton of attention in return. Give what you can. The Aries sun doesn’t have much patience, but a little effort goes a long way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t let other people hog all the credit for the work you’ve done. You need the brownie points, tool. Look for a new project that you can call your own; it’s time to go for it! Put aside your qualms, and enjoy your significant other.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your confidence and outgoing attitude will win you new friends. Things will go according to plan at work. Beware: A flirtation may initiate gossip. Others are just now starting to realize how valuable your talent is to the company.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sensitivity and honesty contribute to your charm. Put in a good word for a friend. If you can open doors for someone special, the doors will open for you when the time is right. Your mom or another caring female may keep you guessing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Allow yourself to get excited about a new project, even if you have doubts right now. You’ll find the leeway in a cut-and-dried situation. Things will flow naturally in an exciting social event or setting, so don’t force things to happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Contrasting views will bring friends to a better understanding. Besides, differences make the relationship more creative. Someone from your past will make an offer you can’t refuse. Trust the divine order of the universe to set things straight.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 22). Your practical vision will take you far this year. If you rely on a hunch, you may win big money by the first week in April. Love with a Taurus or Gemini is divine. You may receive a promotion in late April, but you have to ask for it. Don’t be afraid of confrontation in June. Keep your critical nature at bay in August, and try not to expect too much from others. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 22, 19, 36 and 8.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel impulsive at work, but it’s better to do nothing than take a step in an unapproved direction. You’ll finally get the results of a test. Plan a romantic trip now; your love partner is mostly likely to agree with your choice of destination.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Weed out your bad ideas immediately. You will do things faster today and will reach an important personal goal in a short period of time. Struggling is a waste of time. If things get complicated, take a break. Get some fresh air while you’re at it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have the means to complete a project today. Don’t snap at your subordinates. You may need their cooperation very soon, so don’t be mean. Delay gratification – it’ll make life more fulfilling. Your colleagues admire your willpower.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Meet people halfway without feeling as if it’s a sacrifice. If you have to jump into strange waters, get advice from those who have been there before. Someone who is romantically interested in you might be very persistent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Stick to your usual routine, and very unusual events will occur. Following your instinct can indeed lead to profit. Writing a letter is more productive than talking face-to-face. Don’t believe everything you hear. Romance is inspiring.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Take the lead if your team falters. Socializing with business associates is called for this afternoon. Be humorous when a tough situation calls for it. At times like these, it’s natural to feel like dynamite one minute and wet toast the next.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll dream of love during the morning hours. Be determined when it comes to getting a special someone’s attention. At work, a dominating force will step out of your way, and you’ll end up taking charge. Invite a friend out to dinner.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Spring is in the air. It’s the first weekend of the Aries sun, which gives a wink and a nod to your appetite for love. The grass is green, the sky is blue, and your heart is swelling with the hopes of falling in love with someone new. Couples may find that their love is infused with the excitement they had in the beginning of their relationship. Aries: Generosity is flowing toward you, so say "thank you." Taurus: You’ll get the sweetest part of someone’s attention. Gemini: Games are good for meeting new love potentials, but don’t try it an ex-mate. Cancer: It’s hard to find satisfaction, but once you do, it’ll be easy to hold on to it. Leo: Love is a thrilling ride for you. Virgo: Find out the truth. Libra: Sensitive people may be taken advantage of unless you come to the rescue. Scorpio: You feel fickle and could agitate someone with your indecision. Sagittarius: A trip out of town may allow you to be super sexy. Capricorn: Love will bring more money into your realm. Aquarius: Someone who once turned you down is now attracted to you. Pisces: Take care of your soul, and everything will work out fine.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Cancer and Gemini are complex creatures. Cancer feels amorous, and Gemini is rambunctious, bright and powerful. These two signs may be the best individuals they can be when they strive to find a balanced partnership with each other. Gemini will succeed in the morning hours, and Cancer will take over after nightfall.
