You may really be up at the "crack of dawn," as the moon joins the Mars/Uranus configuration in Aquarius, bringing you inspiration, ideas and priceless insight. Morning meditation will be highly rewarding. Turn your thoughts to positive subjects. If you practice tolerance, you’ll finally understand someone who has always been a mystery.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s easier than usual to be patient. Use this extraordinary creative period to inspire a team or group. Plant a growth- or goal-oriented course of action. Your influence is much greater than you realize.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A teacher/student relationship is featured. Guide others by setting an example. Learn from your parents and kids, or from any Capricorn you find along your path. Organize your drawers, closets and cabinets this evening.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A troublesome relationship with an in-law or step-relative can now be addressed without feeling awkward. Reschedule travel plans if necessary. You will be able to buy a ticket through another travel agency. Be cautious when driving.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your incomparable sense of humor can get your point across. Stay out of trouble. When in doubt, be funny, and everything will work out fine. Be forgiving when somebody changes his or her holiday plans this afternoon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Concede the spotlight to someone more worthy for the next couple of days. There are other family members who need attention, too. Spending the evening with your mate is all you really need, anyway. Use your mind tonight!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 3). Give way to plenty of activities in your material realm. A new home or do-it-yourself refurbishment will be your main project during the next two months. Growth through action is the key to success. Your responsibilities will overwhelm you in the spring, but you’ll emerge with great victories. Your lucky love sign is Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 1, 11, 9 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A pile of work will appear on your desk, as if by magic. Since you enjoy your job so much, time will fly by. That said, your higher-ups will recognize, appreciate and applaud your excellent contributions to the company.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do you plan on taking an art class or redecorating your home? Such endeavors are lucky, as well as stimulating. Here’s another bonus: Any art-related activity will include potential for meeting a new romantic interest!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Inside each of us is a little kid who wants parental approval. If you admit this, your week will be easy to tackle. Be organized and do the hosting tonight. Don’t let friends take advantage of you, or you might resent them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Strategize the holiday as if it’s a military mission. Discretion is important, so think before you speak. Pay attention to who bumps into whom at your festivities. Avoid arguments with careful planning, and enjoy the fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If required, work all day every day until the holiday, though you’d love to take a little personal time. You’ll have a meditative interim in the near future, but for now, stick to the duties at hand – handle them one at a time!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re in the eye of an emotional storm. You have a wizard’s power when it comes to facing the holiday’s realities. Use your influence wisely, and always carry this remarkable charisma with you. Learn how to be patient from a Libra!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Understanding your past will help prepare you for the future, but please, don’t brood until then. Think positively, and examine your errors in light of the fact that you will, indeed, have another chance! Call your childhood friends.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m an Aquarius female born on Feb. 11, 1950. Can I have a permanent romance with a married Scorpio man born on Nov. 9, 1933?"

This charming, bright man (Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius) retains his youthful appearance and energy, as well as his ability to custom-design his charming effort according to the specific psychological needs of each woman he chooses to be with. He seems to understand "the real you" like no one has before. These same planetary placements, along with Venus in Capricorn and the moon in Leo, indicate that he is an extremely selfish person who will never really put your emotional well-being first. You mentioned that he is married, and that you are not his first choice. Unfortunately, these facts confirm the selfishness shown in his astrological chart. The young women who fall in love with him are, to him, merely a way of maintaining his dapper self-image and sexual security. His marriage protects him from ever having to follow through with any of the women he charms. Walk away now, and consider yourself fortunate that this fellow needn’t remain in your life. You’ve been too eager to please and too quick to acquiesce to the will of others. Concentrate on yourself, your work and education. Let love find you next time around. Good luck!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Glenn Frey is a Scorpio who will show us the transforming power of this sign. His sweet voice trademarked the Eagles’ sound which spanned over two decades of hit-making. With both Mars and Jupiter in Sagittarius, Frey was destined for a high-profile job right from the very beginning. Can you guess whose idea it was to form an Eagles baseball team? His unpredictable nature may have a surprise waiting for us.
