ARIES (March 21-April 19). The answer is: There are more ways than one to skin a cat. The question is: Why would anyone want to skin a cat? When it comes time to choose what you want to do, be very careful because you can create just about anything.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can help a friend rid herself of worry and strain by teaching her the way you avoid such mental hang-ups. Run errands this afternoon, and your eyes and heart will open to someone you’ve never before considered romantically.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re obsessed with figuring out how to finally crack the code to attain that ever-elusive success you long for. Hey, it might be as easy as visualizing what you want to achieve and setting your path in that direction.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone could tell you exactly what you want to hear. Can you help it if you’re somebody that people ant to please? Luckily, you’re psychic enough to know the truth from the pandering.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The challenge of buying and selling gets your zest for life pumping. A clash between your private and public life could be brewing, so if there’s anything you’re ashamed of, work on seeing it in a different light.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (February 19). This year, your imagination is the key to unlocking dreams you never thought possible. Fantasizing about your own good fortune every day can actually bring it to you! Career moves are cemented with social contact in March. April love is intense, and singles could marry quickly. Lucky signs are Aquarius or Aries. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 24, 39, 5 and 19.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Building your network builds your net worth! Devil-may-care posturing makes it seem like you’re emotionally unavailable, which can be very glamorous, if a little intimidating, to potential partners.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). You’re a leader who can move people with a few passionate phrases, and everyone wants in on the fun you generate in the name of productivity. Friendships are strengthened while you raise funds or provide guidance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life’s got its cycles, and you do, too. After the pretty impressive effort you made over the last few days to stretch your self-definition, there’s nothing wrong with a little big of cocooning – as long as it doesn’t last long.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re so aggressive about career matters that sometimes socializing seems too frivolous to focus on. Mix the two areas together by planning fun that furthers your work goals and vice versa. Big success is the result!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A beautiful new someone makes you stand up straight, trying to impress. The adrenaline rush will help you get even more done (the list is three pages long by now!) than you would have. Make phone calls count.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A flash of inspiration is followed by a sudden turn of events and, in the third act, a breakthrough. Change doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process. The issue at h and is identity. What others know of you is not the whole picture.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is so much going on in your own world now, you’ll find others are attracted to the whir of activity. A new friendship has great potential to open doors for you. Investing so much time and energy into a hobby is a needless drain.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My date of birth is Jan. 25, 1960, and I know I’m an Aquarius, but I feel that I am more of a Capricorn. My question is, do you see this new year as being financially better for me? I am a big worrier on money issues, and I never seem to get ahead. I have a good job, and I save, but I never can keep up with my bills."
Mars and Saturn are both in Capricorn in your chart. Many of your hardest lessons in life have been about status, tradition and your role in society, so you are painfully aware of the economic distribution in the world and where you fit into this. In many ways, you refuse to live within your means because you believe you should live like the top people in your field. This intense drive what will push you to high levels of success. But getting there won’t bring satisfaction if your expenses go up along with your income. Being an Aquarius, you can solve this problem by applying your infinite creativity. For instance, I can tell you give a lot of gifts to friends. Start making some of those instead of buying them. Find your ideal car at an auction or on a web site instead of walking onto a lot. June gives you a windfall due to work you do on the side – pay off a credit card!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: I predict that the much-talked-about nuptials of Liza Minnelli and David Guest will prove to be a lasting contract kept by heart and by law for years to come. Minnelli h as had a change of stars in the last two years that poit up the importance of a solid, loving companion. Her Pisces nurturing instinct will provide a safe haven for her husband, and they could even adopt two girls in 2003.
