ARIES (March 21-April 19). Regarding a partner’s attitude, it’s not you. Don’t take it personally. Take on more than you think you can do. The silly stuff falls off your list. Sweets are unlucky tonight. The better your diet, the more self-esteem you’ll have.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Tough decisions come up, and you might not be able to go through the correct channels due to timing issues. There will be time to evaluate later – now, just do what you have to do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Romance has some entertaining ups and downs. Choose your metaphorical pony, and hang on for dear life – this ride isn’t for kiddies. Issues of loyalty come up. Try sticking with your original decision.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Freedom is on your mind. If you really get away, you’ll see that you’ve actually created the perfect amount of structure for yourself. Get on the Internet tonight, and you’ll find some deals. A Libra helps.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You deserve to be happy in your work. The more absorbing a project is, the more financially rewarding it will be. Spending money on schooling is not necessary; you learn through books and informal training.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (September 3). It’s a year when you primarily act from your heart and find ways of living that fulfill you more than you’d ever be able to think up in your head. Still, let your daring ideas have some breathing room this month. Let relatives control a tense family situation in October, as you have better things to do. Love with an Aries or Aquarius warms your heart. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 36, 11, 52 and 28.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Taking initiative is lucky for your love life, but don’t do it the same way everyone else does. You don’t have to ask someone out for him or her to know you are interested. Flirt, and then, don’t ask him or her out.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). If you have the day to spend at home, doing renovations or design improvements will bring up the value. Remember, investments are emotional, and the more feeling you put into investments, the more potential buyers will get the vibe.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This will be a magical day. For every roadblock, there is a remedy. Be open-minded, and carry your cell phone. You’ll need to use your friends as advisers at the most unlikely times (but don’t talk and drive!).
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is a persistent problem at work that you’ve been trying to handle with generalized solutions. It won’t work. You need a strategy that is specific to your situation. Extend yourself is almost always worth the risk.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes, a lovely illusion is just the thing needed to keep you inspired. Develop a fantasy that will motivate you when the chips are down. Cut a few cords that are keeping you emotionally tied up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is a day to be farsighted. Work on long-standing problems instead of day-to-day issues. If you haven’t been volunteering, now’s a good time to start. Tonight, give loved ones a break by agreeing to drop an argument.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In this lucky day, people just want to gift you with stuff. Many of you are still trying to find your niche in the work world. Ask outsiders where they see you. Whatever information you can extract will be valuable.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "What kind of career can I have this late in life? I was born March 14, 1949."
People find it easy to open up to you, because you know how to listen without judgment – this is wonderful for people who feel particularly shameful and guilty over their behavior. Your moon in Virgo helps you analyze what you hear. You probably do this with friends and family anyway, so you might as well get certified and paid for it! Jupiter, aspecting both sun and moon, points out your basic soundness of mind. In fact, people feel good around you even when you’re saying nothing at all. Now that you know you have a gift, all you need is the training. Get it now, and you are on your way.
"Will I ever reconcile with my Cancer ex? I’m a Scorpio."
Scorpio and Cancer share a deep, emotional connection. I get the sense you may have been unfaithful to this woman, and for Cancer, that is nearly unforgivable, especially if there were any lies involved to cover up. Cancer is one of the most sensitive (and psychic) signs. There is still love out there for you, though probably not with this woman.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Keanu Reeves is a Virgo perfectionist with a great deal of patience, which was applied to learning intricate martial arts moves for the making of all three Matrix films. This attention to detail makes Reeves the perfect candidate to work with computer animation because his consistency of motion makes it easier for programmers to predict his actions and build around them.
