Everyone is "on," which makes for a camera-worthy moments tonight. Make sure the battery is charged. The full moon is in Gemini, which promises people will share a little too much information, but it will make for some hearty laughter. A little good-spirited mischief could go a long way toward making someone feel special.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be careful how you share your brilliance. Critical people say they are trying to help but are actually insanely jealous of your position. Speeches or interviews go well. Love surprises you when you least expect it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You get burnt out if you stick to one thing for too long. Cutting-edge technology and access to the newest information adds immeasurably to your success potential. Taking classes is your lucky secret to finding new love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Spend time preparing for an important introduction. A new person could see your talent and fall in love with you, hire you or better! This evening is richly entertaining. You might dare to mingle with the famous.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Education is featured, though you’ll learn more than you bargained for. Keep romance at a safe distance. Many are tempted to fall in love for all the wrong reasons. A Leo connection brings a warm, electric buzz.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Give advice only to those who seem ready to follow it. Avoid spending extra money on frills, though you’ll be tempted. Relatives might take advantage of your hospitality until you put your foot down.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 5). A determined attitude marks the year. Work slows down enough to give you time to make headway on something private this month. You’ll get more of a boost from admiring onlookers. Being able to purchase a vehicle or equipment makes you feel powerful in August, but the real power is in accepting responsibility given to you in September. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 28, 5, 19 and 44.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A sentimental mood takes hold. The past and the present blur together. Separate out what you can. It’ s not helpful to base your actions on generalities. Really be honest now, or you’ll get stuck.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Art and commerce rely on each other – you can effectively meld the two. You are not in emotional danger, though you could trick yourself into believing such things today for the sake of drama. Take a breath. Cherish the calm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll have to build yourself up this morning in order to get the job. Schemes that sound too good to be true probably are. Make conversation with an interesting stranger for lucky insights into your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). High energy and mental clarity are gifts from the heavens. Make a list, and you’ll accomplish everything on it. Travel and distances are on your mind, and you could connect with someone you’ve been missing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This could be one of those days when you become a regular bleeding heart. If you’re to stay healthy, there’s a limit to how much time can be spent on other people’s problems. Offer your emotional support as help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s one thing to accept the way things are, and quite another to look for meaning. Do both. Taurus and Virgo figure into your beset plan. Lunches and interviews get a special touch of luck – you’re really on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you are inviting victimization on yourself in some way, make immediate changes that will stop this. Even if you have to spend all day on this project, you will have kept a negative pattern from occurring.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a young Aquarius woman looking to attract new friends and new romantic partners. Awhile back, you ran a column about a way to attract others and mentioned showing others how intelligent one is. Are there other ways to attract like-minded friends and partners?"

Your mind is quicker than you realize. You often assume that everyone is like you, but that is untrue. Never take it personally if someone just doesn’t get you. Move on. You’ve got scores of admirers when you’re in the right environment. Take care of yourself is by giving your mind something exciting to work on. Getting involved in a game or challenging extracurricular activity is vital to maintaining your self-esteem. When your confidence is high, everything else about you clicks in. You become a magnet for interest from interesting people. Make no mistake – I didn’t say TELL how intelligent you are, I said SHOW. There’s nothing worse than a know-it-all. But when you are mentally engaged in something you find really juicy, you don’t have to say a word. Your whole presence comes off as vital, interesting and sexy.

CELEBRITY: Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei is said to have a tattoo of the Egyptian Eye of Ra on her right foot. To Sagittarius (a sign that thrives under the protection of lucky totems from other countries), such a decoration is just a window into the many influences that make up this sign’s rich and worldly point of view. In 2003, Tomei gets rave reviews in a role that shows her fiery passion.
