ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re contemplating a financial move that will drastically change your lifestyle, whether or not you realize it now. It’s important to imagine all of the ways this move will affect you before taking a step.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Alfred Hitchcock once remarked that "There’s nothing scarier than the neighbors." Indeed, today, you could hear strange noises or get an odd vibe and wonder, "What are they doing in there?" Cautiously check it out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The mathematics of the universe are far less logical than most people believe. Giving to charity can be incredibly selfish – you wind up getting so much in return! Tonight, your dinner conversation is incredibly charming.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those talented, intense, twisted friends of yours influence you. You’re not one to be a follower, but if someone has a success formula, why not use it? It takes more than natural talent to win at this game.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sure, you need your peace and quiet, but this much of it? Reach out, and get in touch. The more communicative you are, the more likely you are to come across a piece of information that helps unlock your current conundrum.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 7). This is your year! You’ve passed many tests and have the personal fortitude to go "for real" this time. The next seven weeks are extraordinarily lucky when you gather up your courage and jump in – no looking back. An educational opportunity at the end of August, once completed, boosts your income considerably. Love signs are Leo and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 9, 4, 1 and 17.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The way you thoughtfully move ahead in life, creating new patterns as you plod along at a deliberate, albeit slow, pace will turn your days into a work of art. Your intrinsic elegance attracts luck on all levels.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Your incredible sense of responsibility is more than a positive quality – it’s a talent! This is one of the reasons so many people need you. At work, your irritation is certainly well-founded, but shake it off before you infect others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dare to be outrageous, instinctual and even a bit cutthroat about your business – of course, I mean that in the nicest way, dear Scorpio. Change is coming. Soon, everyone will be accountable for actions taken.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your universe is expanding. That doesn’t mean someone else’s has to shrink. Keep the abundance mentality, and remind yourself often that there is plenty for everyone. Get your worries under control.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You feel ready to make progress but may not be sure just where you’re going, with whom and so on. This kind of openness is both wonderful (anything can happen!) and dangerous (anything can happen!).
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are expending great amounts of energy and could probably use some more support in terms of nutrition for both your body and spirit. The more freedom you give a loved one, the clingier this person becomes. It’s weird.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s important to know that the people you are doing business with will keep promises – you can never be sure, but a good track record does mean something. Do your research! Check references, and pay attention.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Will my mother and I succeed in a new food business we plan to start this year? The family business has been suffering, and we need to supplement our income. Will we be lucky in finances in the future? I was born March 12, 1980, and my mom was born March 23, 1960."
A Pisces and Aries mother-daughter team is a winning combination indeed. Still, I suggest you get help on the financial-organization side of this business arrangement. A Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo finance expert will be able to troubleshoot potential problems in your business before you even open, saving you time and money. Being a Pisces, you have an intuitive sense about what is going to sell and about what foods are nourishing. It’s important to consider the health of your customers and provide nutritious food. Your mother is an excellent salesperson and hard worker. It will be up to you to keep her focused. Do not start without a business plan! Write everything down, and get an expert opinion, even if you have to pay for it! I see the end of October as a profitable time when you can put money back into the business to keep up the momentum through next year.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gemini people like Anne Heche need plenty of exercise to keep up their stamina. This busy actress and mom will be appearing on stage with Alec Baldwin in the comedy "Twentieth Century" and on screen later this year with Nicole Kidman in "Birth." Heche could increase her endurance by participating in team sports such as volleyball or doubles tennis and could even pick up a few awards along the way.
