Early in the morning, Gemini lunar energy provides a dose of mental sharpness, so work can be done in a flash. By day’s end, you should be proud of yourself for the mature way you handled life’s little challenges. The sun (ego) opposes Saturn (lessons) and reminds us that doing the right thing is ultimately what will make us feel fulfilled.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your love is put to the test – and it passes with flying colors. Swallowed pride will clear up misunderstandings. Someone from a different culture affects your thinking. Home buyers find an ideal property.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Leave early for appointments, so you appear relaxed and confident. Students catch up on long-overdue assignments. You may have to spend cash to keep the promise you made to yourself for physical fitness and spiritual balance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you forgot about comes back to haunt you in the early day. This could cause you to feel overwhelmed by lunchtime. Add a new responsibility to your list – it’s a crazy idea, but it works to center your energy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If there is a problem in your relationship, the solution begins with admitting a character flaw in yourself. It’s too easy to blame others and takes too long. Handle what you have control over, and miraculous good luck sets in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Time away from a partner allows you to think. Your financial strategy will work – with some tweaking and a margin for error included in the plan. Friends are full of wild ideas. Don’t borrow money.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 3). You have a passionate year ahead of you. Your work is reviewed in the next four weeks. Doing a fantastic job will allow you to move up! Creative impulses entice you to travel more. Home improvements lead to better states of mind in July. Marriage months are July and August, especially with lucky love signs Virgo and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 21, 50 and 2.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even if you don’t feel motivated to connect with others, do it anyway. Letting your head give your body a nudge in the right direction (even when your heart’s not in it) will be looked back on as character building.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). It’s a great day to clear your conscience – write out your mistakes, forgive yourself for all of them, and then throw the list away. Before you go to dreamland tonight, say goodbye to habits that no longer serve you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mind over matter is the theme. When the unlikely actually happens, your imagination is stimulated – what could possibly be next? Flirting attracts love. Serious discussion helps a relationship go to the next level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tell others about your goals, whether or not you think they’re interested. You can solve personal problems on your own, so don’t be tempted by slick marketing to pay someone else top dollar. Confide in Libra.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Events come off as planned, but the faces involved my change. Don’t let someone close persuade you into a bad deal. Observe before you make a move. Accurate assumptions put you ahead in love and in business.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Make a change at home to ensure peace and quiet. It’s lucky to help other creative people brainstorm. Join a group to enlarge your network. You’ve got charisma and could be bombarded by romantic offers.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). How you act around friends may give the impression that you don’t need any help, which is not true. Leaning on others is lucky. A decision must be made in your romantic life, or you’re in limbo for another week.

THE MAGIC KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF LOVE FOR 2003 (PART TWO OF THREE): LEO: The romantic timing is stellar – there is no better time in the future that will offer you more of what you need. Therefore, let nothing stop you from throwing yourself fully into passion. It’s a love fest with: Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces. VIRGO: It boils down to where you hang out. Place yourself where the most people who fit your qualifications are likely to show up. Otherwise, you wind up in a romance based on molding someone to fit your ideal – exhausting. It just clicks with: Scorpio, Capricorn and Aries. LIBRA: Be the romantic, and you will have love. Like an actor, you create this archetypical character in yourself and play the part. While you’re expanding your self-definition, you’ll also be expanding your romantic options. It sparks up right away with: Sagittarius, Aquarius and Taurus. SCORPIO: Breaking the rules is thrilling. Your romantic sector heats up with someone at work, an ex of a friend or maybe a teacher of some kind. Blowing out social boundaries gives you the confidence to really savor love for all it’s worth. It’s a tight connection with: Capricorn, Pisces and Gemini.

CELEBRITY: Dashing Brendan Fraser is an actor who has filmed movies all over the world – but what did you expect from a daring Sagittarius? His role as new father has likely taken the focus now. Does that have anything to do with his decision to star in "Looney Tunes: The Movie"? Possibly, although his chart reveals him to be a very practical father who might forbid cartoon watching at too early an age.
