When the moon is in Pisces, as it is now, it’s very natural to do an emotional inventory. Pisces gets us ready for our next opportunity to grow by making sure we’ve got the lessons of the last month. If there’s something stuck in your craw, no matter how insignificant it might seem, be willing to bring it up, feel the emotions and let it go.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
It’s almost impossible to hide your intentions, so you may as well state them out loud! Though dreams are important, it’s the doing that makes a difference. Roll up your sleeves –even the big bosses will get their hands dirty today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
There is a surge of interest in your ideas; guard against potential vampires. Don’t show all your cards. You provide plenty for others – turn that nurturing spirit toward yourself. You can accomplish this without shopping!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Keeping to routine is pleasant, actually, as you have an increased need for security today. It’s helpful to develop a cordial relationship with your neighbor if you don’t have one already. This prevents a problem later in the month.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll be doing spiritual work. That doesn’t mean you sit around all day dreaming in your own universe. You’re working toward a harmonious existence. Romantic relationships benefit from a change of pace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Enter new career arenas instead of waiting until you’re invited. Presentations and interviews go off brilliantly. Your confidence makes up for any lack of experience. You could hit the jackpot through commissions or pitching ideas.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 20).
This month and next show you shining in the area of personal development. You’ve got new goals, like getting more pleasure out of life and filling in the fun and adventure part of your life pie. Relationships heat up at summer’s end, and some of you singles could even marry a Scorpio or Leo. Family depends on you in November, but it makes you stronger. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 32, 49, 13 and 5.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Ask questions, and find out where other people are coming from – they just may give you the keys to their world. Prioritize carefully – a loved one needs more time and attention and will act out if this need isn’t met.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23).
Your schedule fills up fast, so make sure to do the important things first. You like that certain someone in a special way, so if you’re single, why deny it? Make your move! You’re the leader at work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Excellent fortune befalls you this morning! Exercise diplomacy, though – a situation becomes volatile if improperly handled. A chance to invest with friends is tempting, but there are (much) better uses for your money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’re at your best when taking steps to achieve something. In matters of romance, ease up. Once you accept people just as they are, they will surprise you by being more wonderful than you ever anticipated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Relationships that are growing are, by definition, also changing. Yes, holding on is difficult. But strength is measured not by holding on but by letting go. Once you do, the new incarnation of this relationship can come back to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You are noticing your own power today, but this can be dangerous, too. Be careful not to try and control another person. No one can truly respect someone who is manipulating him or her like a puppet!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Love and friendship mix nicely – a new sense of balance in close relationships creates security. You are vulnerable to mathematical mistakes. Keep tabs on accounts, and save your statements.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:
"Please, I need help! I was born July 23, 1966, and my ex-boyfriend was born Aug. 7, 1973. I love him so much, but he moved into his own place. I think he just used me, but I still love him. Do you think we can ever have a relationship again?"

Although you were born on the first day of Leo, your chart is dominated by Cancer influences with your moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter all deposited in this highly emotional water sign. You have an overwhelming need to be needed and feel most comfortable at home with close friends and your soul mate at your side. Your ex is a Leo with his moon in Sagittarius and Mars in Aries, a strong fire-sign contingent that makes him outgoing and well-liked, with a tendency toward impulsive behavior. His Mars in Aries makes a difficult aspect to your Cancer influences, so his impetuous nature will continue to cause emotional turmoil for you. Your chart shows you to be wise beyond your years if you choose to learn from your choices. This may be one of your more difficult periods, but by this time next year, you’ll be with someone who truly appreciates you for who you are.

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
As "Angel" wraps up, David Boreanaz has a movie career all lined up for himself. First off, he will appear as a satanic biker in "Wicked Prayer." After the release of this film, I predict Boreanaz will go in a different and less dark on-screen direction. A Taurus may be slow to embrace change but can justify it when it is for the good of career. Look for Boreanaz in lighter fare in the new year.
