The moon in Capricorn makes the world a more practical place than it was this past weekend. You’ll come up for air and discover that you may have to get yourself out of a promise you made in the heat of passion or in the throes of despair. Be extremely cautious about love and commitment. Avoid signing anything without scrutinizing the fine print.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Plan to tell your tyrannical boss goodbye, but don’t do it just yet. Have a solid offer in place before you burn the current bridge to your income. Your body will react to the first signs of change. Counteract adverse effects with a healthy diet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Love may give you a fresh start, no matter how many times it’s gone wrong in the past. You and your significant other may want to learn to give more. Only deal with business associates who know what the word "teamwork" means.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The world isn’t against you, but the bottom line is that you spend more than you earn. The solution to your money problem is simple: Realize that you must not spend what you don’t have. Cut up a credit card for a boost of good luck.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your energy is in a quiescent phase, so fill your time effectively without overworking yourself. Stick to a wise diet. Any half-completed or unclear commitments you’ve made should be dealt with now, especially those of romantic nature.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You and your loved one will beyond deeply. Talk is practically unnecessary since you know what your sweetie is thinking. Pursue a health-related issue, even if you’re not sick. You have healing power and may discover how to help a sick friend.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). You’ll receive lucky news regarding a letter, resume or proposal that was sent out earlier this month. Success is featured by way of a friend of company that previously turned you down. In July, be willing to do something for free, as the rewards will make you rich by October. Family politics can convince you to do things all on your own. Be proud of yourself. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 13, 18, 23 and 33.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Delays will bring changes. Relax, and enjoy the pause in a world of chaos that gives you a chance to flirt or spend extra time with a child. Work functions may be memorable events. Share inside jokes with a Sagittarius or Taurus.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Paradoxically, you might have to be a little selfish in order to get romance off in the right direction. Love is wonderful when you first know what you need from it. Review your strategy for making money – you’ll find a flaw. Create a new tactic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A loved one deserves a second chance, but don’t do it for anyone but you. Find time for exercise in your busy schedule; a co-worker can get your started. Money is made through a buddy’s referral. You might start a business of your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Look into the mirror, and reshape the image to match your new outlook. Postpone of cancel a date if you want more personal time to yourself. Show affection to those in need – the one in need could even be your pet.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you have faith in yourself, others will, too. An important interview will go well. Signing an employment contract is highlighted. Give gifts to those you appreciate. Reserve some mystique, and you’ll be hot in the dating scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s no need to be proud; just apologize. Your boss is under pressure, so don’t take anything he or she says personally. How you approach the job will change based on new information. Pay attention to a child’s problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Speak up, and you can avoid being taken advantage of. A favorable reputation counts. Demands from work or family will create chaos in your love life unless you set clear boundaries now. Don’t take halfway measures in matters of the heart.

ASTROLOGICAL FEATURE: HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR RUT (PART TWO OF FOUR): It’s springtime, and it’s time to clear the decks and begin anew, no matter how difficult your problems are. Here’s a guide to making your dreams come true this summer. Cancer: Your happy memories from the past may intrude on your progress. Just because your or your family did things one way doesn’t mean that you should follow "tradition" forever. To get out of a rut, you need to shake things up. Strangely enough, family members will benefit from the excitement these changes bring. Leo: Your pride says, "I’ll make things work the way they are, even if it kills me." Why? Because you believe that a new course of action means that you were wrong in the past, and you don’t want to damage your self-esteem. Rearrange your activities to fit current circumstances. Show your leadership by embarking immediately on a good plan – your troops will follow. Virgo: Paperwork, details and your need for control stop you from going forward. Stop obsessing about thing that really don’t or wont’ impact your life. Be smart, and let the little things slide.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Courteney Cox Arquette was born under social Gemini, and she’ll make superstar connections wherever she goes. She may be the friendliest of the "Friends." Gemini natives get their career luck from being in the right place at the right time. They have a nose for where the action is. Cox could give birth to a baby boy next year!
