The big project you’re involved in gets really exciting when the full cancer moon puts a magnifying glass on all the day’s events. The temptation is to scrutinize what you said, how you said it and how it made other people feel. Getting a desired result s really much simpler than that, though. If you believe good things will happen for you, they will.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
. You are the anchor for your family. Give all you can, as self-absorption will only diminish your true power. Too much to do makes your head spin this afternoon. If you visualized the finished product, your task seems easier.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
A professional approach to even the most personal goals is hat allows you to master your own destiny. Don’t organize your life around a loved one’s needs. This evening brings a welcome change from the norm.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Because you are so generous, you are surrounded by givers and takers alike. Having the right information is m ore important than having the right contacts. Cruise around town tonight to get a different perspective on life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (January 25).
Challenge and victory are in store for those who dare to play. Use the rest of this month to take action in personal matters and finding a better job. Money in February will pay off debts. Superiors promote you in March. Don’t let entanglements prevent you from accomplishing what needs to be done. Marriage in July with a Taurus or Libra is favored. Your lucky numbers are: 22, 5, 19, 30 and 25.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Competitive energy prevails. Opportunity exits wherever you recognize it, and the occasion should not be squandered! Conflict with someone in authority will most certainly end with you losing.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23).
Avoid a natural tendency to remain in the background. And don’t agree to play a self-sacrificing role. Requests for something well-deserved will not go unmet but perhaps not be answered as quickly as you would like.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Publicize what you can do best. The obvious advertising venues will do. The new plan includes a lot of saying "no" to people who are hard to say "no" to. There are gems to be found tonight among your friend’s friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Curiosity leads you to the gold. You needn’t take on a project alone. Consider who can help you, how they can help and why. New attractions are everywhere. You may be flirting without even realizing it.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:
"I am a 24-year-old Aries, and I work for an investment bank, go to school and am pursing an acting career. Sometimes, I feel so overwhelmed. I feel like quitting my job and bartending. Also, I have been on and off with a 24-year-old Sagittarius. He confuses me so much. I really like him. I’ve tried to move on, but something keeps telling me to hold on. He says he loves me and wants us to work out, but he is afraid that things might not. We are so much alike. I would like to know if this relationship is worth my time and energy."

No, it’s not. Also, don’t quit your job and bartend. It won’t be any easier than what you’re doing now and is basically a lateral move that won’t solve anything. The fastest way to becoming happy on a day-to-day basis is to get more sleep. Aries love to take on more than they can easily achieve. You might op to take fewer credits at school next quarter or even drop a class in favor of some shut-eye. If you can stop obsessing about this Sagittarius, that will free up more energy and leave space for your own peace of mind. Someone new will come after that.

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Rob Zombie is a multitalented Capricorn. He could create a comic book this year that will eventually be considered fine art. Capricorn people have impossibly high standards for themselves and others, which is why they are often so successful. In the case of Zombie, this has caused clashes in the movie business, but ultimately, he’ll get to produce things his way, and all will be worth the confrontation.
