June 17, 2003

The main point of the day is simply to pay attention. In the afternoon, Scorpio lunar energy cast a sexy glow on the goings-on. There are many planes of existence, and if you quiet your thoughts down, you’ll be amused by how clearly you can see different ones operating all at once. You might even shift your activities based on what you learn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As long as you’re dreaming, dream big. You’re the only one who limits you. A family drama may include arguing over an inheritance. You know what they say: Where there’s a will, there’s a relative.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve got the power to appeal to the emotions of others today, which could translate into making someone fall in love with you, having the tops sales numbers or getting difficult people to transform their attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some days, you just don’t feel like putting up a fight, and that can be a lucky thing. Your rebelliousness kicks in later, when it’s more appropriate to stand out. All this goings with the flow is good for you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You might find yourself in a situation that you’ve been dying to get into, and yet, you’re still not happy. It’s not your fault; it’s just that things don’t look the same from the inside. Don’t waste a moment feeling foolish.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A psychic revelation is featured this morning, when a subtle visual trigger will set off your intuitive mind. This flash of knowledge could have you in hot pursuit of something all morning.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 17). This year is all about making bold choices. Clarity emerges as the next three weeks, and you can even lead others out of their murkiness. Work toward your own goals first, and you’ll have more to contribute. Your tenacity impresses an Aries or a Pisces love interest. Your significant period of personal and financial transition is January to February. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 26, 37, 3 and 54.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A big breakfast will give you the energy to sustain through the demands of the day. An intellectual intolerance might come out at work for the one who never seems to get the job done right.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Your gift for eloquence and newfound leadership skills is prominently featured. Use the charismatic energy to green-light intellectual interests – this will actually bring hot passion into your love sector as your mind is your sexiest part.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You go after your financial goals with enormous fortitude, as is required in order to meet such lofty ones! Taking on a new job will allow you to pay off debt completely. Do your homework tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Human failings are frustrating, but at least you’ve got enough compassion to make others comfortable when things go wrong. That’s real class, and your kindness will be remembered.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). At work, you’ll be especially drawn to things hidden. This makes someone paranoid – you know, the one person with something good to hide. You can make a fast friend by being able to keep a secret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Lucrative business this afternoon includes haggling away with a fire sign (that’s an Aries, Leo or Sagittarius). These guys don’t back down easily, but eventually, you’ll win if you keep at it. It’s a good day to fight for a cause.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll chat up the phones all morning with friends who just want to talk. Pisces employees who aren’t being watched closely at work will feel like using hours on the clock to catch up social obligations.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am Leo born on July 23, 1983. For the past three months, I’ve been seeing the number 11 quite a few times every day. I believe that it is a sign, but I can’t figure out the meaning! What does the number 11 mean for me?"

The number 11 points you toward the 11th sign of the zodiac: Aquarius. The qualities of Aquarius are inventive, innovative and futuristic. I think it’s a sign to forge your destiny and ignore what fate is throwing at you because the past is no indication of what you can create. The number 11 is also representative of magicians and magic. Reality folds and bends to your will when you have this number around you. A powerful time is upon you. If you still feel lost and are not sure what to make of your gift, seek out an Aquarius mentor to guide you. This person helps you understand your power and how to home in on what life you want to invent. As a Leo, this task should be easy for you. Leos are very in tune with what drives them. Enjoy this blessing from the stars – and good for you for paying attention!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Leelee Sobieski ("Eyes Wide Shut," "Never Been Kissed") is an intelligent Gemini discovered while eating lunch in the cafeteria of the private school she was attending. This kind of kismet is not uncommon for lighthearted Gemini with Mars in Libra – casual meetings turn into substantially life-changing events. Her Capricorn moon urges her to be the best, giving her an edge at auditions.
