May 31, 2002

The weekend starts off with the sun in Gemini, a very convivial sign, and the moon, a symbol of public mood, in the party sign of Aquarius. The summer love feast has begun, and singles who venture out now until Sunday will discover romance and warm acceptance. Couples may pair up with other couples who share their interests. Spend time outdoors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Balance the books tonight. If your cell phone keeps cutting out or the fax machine keeps jamming, it’s not you. Don’t call for repairs today – tomorrow will be more favorable. For adventure, focus on something outside your routine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Chips will fall in your favor, so act quickly to make the most of it. Respond to a reasonable offer. Tonight, you may have the power to heal emotional wounds quickly. What’s been wrong for some time could show improvement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Soul-searching could lead to definitive action. Work late, move ahead, and send out your resume. Your mate wants to make sure you are in it for the long haul. Challenges will come in all shapes and sizes. You’ll score high in life’s tests.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Inner strength, combined with your physical glow, can make you unbelievably attractive today. Be cautious against climbing the social ladder and dating based on one’s status. The real test of who you are is how you accept yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An opportunity to make money may be found through social contacts, but don’t be overt? A new relationship may mean more to you than you are admitting to yourself. Singles want what they can’t have, so how mild, not wild, interest.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 31). Your mind moves at a rate of a million miles a minute. You’re filled with ideas and the sheer audacity to carry out your plans. You’ll attract attention left and right. Seek out a new job now. Your interest in the media, fashion industry or high-tech computer world translates into new prestige, a high-profile career and influential friendships. Make up your own rules. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 10, 17, 23 and 39.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s difficult for some people to hunker down on duties on days like today, but not for you. Don’t waste your time trying to get others to focus. Just do your own thing. It’s fun to try on various roles playfully – find out how far you can take them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you want to sell, do your own advertising. You’ll have to juggle to keep everyone around you happy. You might ask yourself at the end of the day if it’s really worth it. Neglecting yourself entirely will counteract efforts. It’s time to speak up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your talent must be backed up by practice. Musical and artistic endeavors will bring you clout. Judge people accurately, except when it comes to your own love prospects. Bringing a friend along on a date will be lucky this evening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The past makes for a good teacher ,so look back and learn. There is a fabulous financial opportunity on its way – save your money. A Libra is eager to team up with you creatively or romantically; you may accomplish both tonight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll sell a work of art, song or story. Don’t play games with your sweetie. Be honest with him or her, and that alone will make you more attractive. There’s a lot going on – keep information straight by writing everything down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A loved one needs special attention, and no one else will do as good a job as you. Prioritize your responsibilities to ease your mind. A discussion with a Virgo teacher or mentor will help you make an intelligent decision.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s fun, easy and ultra lucky to work with a peer for a cause. Be open to joining groups and teams – that’s where the real work is accomplished. Stated your intentions, and let negotiations begin. Don’t even think about work tonight.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: This weekend will be fabulous for partying. Geminis and Leos may find that a lack of money doesn’t mean they can’t take advantage of summer fun. People will lend you things or invite you to be their guest. Accept invitations without hesitation. Aries, Libras and Sagittarians: Someone you were involved with is still interested in dating you, even if he or she is already committed to someone else now. Use platonic friendships to find your ideal partner. People you are introduced to Saturday evening could become important in your life. Taureans and Capricorns: Get out of your normal environment. Your love life will improve when you discover new social climates. Leave your inhibitions at home Saturday night. Cancers and Pisces: An old flame is ready to make a commitment, but don’t make him or her pay for your past unhappiness. Virgos and Scorpios: Some late work at the office could turn into a very intense love situation. Stay late Friday. Consider going in on Saturday afternoon, too. Aquarians, you’ll hit a popularity peak on Saturday. Use your social power to make someone realize what a prize you are.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Aquarians and Libras may become joined at the hip this weekend. They both enjoy the party life, are intellectually stimulating and seek an emotional soul mate. You’ll find that musical and sporting events will put them near each other. Suddenly, both may sense that there is a cosmic connection. However, the Aquarian’s former mate or spouse, who may show up and cause a scene, could be a thorn in the couple’s relationships. The drama only adds to the romance, though, so don’t worry.
