Beauty everywhere puts you in the mood to celebrate as Venus and Jupiter join forces to benefit the merchants of the world. It feels as though we’ve just got to show people we love them in big overboard ways. It’s just not necessary but still lots of fun to give in to these extravagant notions. Better yet, spread your love with words and actions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Model your strategy in love after someone who has landed an ideal relationship. Good service is worth the extra money. Splurge. Passionate feelings creep up on you when you least expect it.

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Shock-jock Howard Stern could be going through the same period of boredom that many Capricorn men born in ’54 are experiencing now. The cause is a lack of challenge in their world. Capricorn requires huge odds in order to feel truly satisfied. This cycle can be used to teach Capricorn how to relax and enjoy the moment – which is the biggest challenge of all to a Capricorn guy.
