The Gemini moon and Aquarius sun get along famously – and so do we under their guidance. But part of the deal is that deep issues are not addressed. Instead, it’s all on the surface, cheerful and light. There will always be time later to get down the real nitty-gritty. Business is pleasurable, and you’ll find much in common with co-workers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The power of numbers will be remarkable. On a personal level, it’s the ones smell good who are real contenders for the role of your boyfriend or girlfriend. Married couples get out on the town for a new look at each other.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Practical matters such as keeping the furniture clean or keeping the car in working order might take up most of your time. The right tools cut your effort in half. The evening hours are well spent balancing the checkbook.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Listen to a family member’s advice about a financial venture. After all, this person didn’t get where he or she is without some planning. Sometimes, it’s easier for others to see where you belong in the scheme of things.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you are doing all of the work in a relationship, this is the day you will start to resent it. Don’t be so fast to pass the blame, though. It might be that you set up a victim/savior power structure from the start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Appointments having to do with taking care of your health should definitely be kept. Flaky people get cut right out of the equation today, and you don’t want to be mistaken for one of those just because you’re running late.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (February 11). Everything you’ve learned up to this point is applied to make this year one to remember. Over the next three weeks, you’ll be calling the shots. New locations for your job or your home might be in store. Windfalls, connected with money owed you from the past, arrived in April. Romance sizzles this year with Libras and Sagittarians. Your lucky numbers this year are: 6, 7, 28, 19 and 44.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In this day of extremes, you might be a slave to your sweet tooth one hour and a master of your exercise routine the next. A partner loves how quirky you are, so don’t hide your beautiful eccentricities.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Many lose weight today, as the stress and burdens of life get lighter. The trick is in not taking on more than your own responsibility. Why expend your precious strength holding up walls that already stand up on their own?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An open mid is a magnet that attracts the best for the future. Fascinating info comes streaming in. New living arrangements save money and restore peace. Check them out, even if you don’t think you are ready to move.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Having a strong opinion is sexy. At work, a realization comes over you: It’s your ambition driving you, not your logic or heart. Try not to act rashly. Take some time alone to sort it all out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve got to bring something fresh to all of your exchanges now, or life becomes monotonous, and money becomes meaningless. Get around people who excite you. The right plan will help you stick to your goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Practical matters come into play. If you’re been denied credit, this is an excellent day to try again. Ask for records, make valid complaints, and do what you can to set things straight. A child influences your financial picture.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People who need more than they give might ask you out. Buy some time. On a business level, agreements made long ago need to be amended. Your partner in romance is affectionate and will do anything to please you.

STATE OF THE HEART (PART THREE OF SIX): This Valentine’s Day, the planets are calling to all of us to look deep within to determine our heart’s desire. That means different things to different people, so whether it is sky diving, painting or travel, this is the time to go for it. What does this have to do with Valentine’s Day? Although it goes against the tradition of chocolates and roses, working to fulfill your hearts desire will make all the relationships in your life stronger, and who knows what romance it could attract? LEO: The money side of things has been the biggest obstacle to answering the call of your heart. When a loved one makes a generous offer (and you will get another chance), next time you’ll take it without hesitation. V-Day sweeties who bring out the best in you are Libra and Sagittarius. VIRGO: You’ve tried to "follow your bliss" but are probably now at the point to ask, "which bliss?" You are good at so many things that it’s hard to know what to do next. Who or what are you most envious of? The answer to that question will point the way. Scorpio and Capricorn make your best V-Day sweethearts.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Country music’s golden by Garth Brooks embodied his Aquarian sun sign when he said, "I try to let people know that they aren’t working for nothing, that what they see when they close their eyes at night doesn’t always have to be a dream." I predict this Aquarius could be partner up with a theme-park conglomerate like Disney to create a truly American attraction whose popularity will rival Graceland.
