Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, a celebration of new beginnings. Interrelatedness sustains life, resembling the sweet, round circle of celebratory apples and honey eaten today. Today’s moon in Libra counts her blessings by the companionship she keeps and tends those partnership seeds for future blessings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be on your tippy toes and ready to react because truly anything can happen. For instance, you could be swept into the swirl of a dizzying romance. Keep future plans flexible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are seduced into the hub of activity. Being where the action is has benefits financially, romantically, and personally; don’t stay home if you can help it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Professional desires seem less important to you now, but ironically, that is the reason you will excel. Don’t be so quick to write off your fantasies as wishes that only come true in fairytales.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). All synapses of your brain are on “Go”! There is always more than one way to get a desired result. Channels of creativity enable you to break new ground.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There will be amusing, interesting and downright wacky events in the next three days. Rather than label what happens as “good luck” or “bad luck”, just acknowledge it as “that what is.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 4). Someone is going to get the best in life. This year, you realize that it may as well be you!  Your appreciation of sweet people and beautiful surroundings attracts more of those to you. Next month is fantastic for your finances. Travel is favored in March. Decisions in June keep your social life on the fast track. Taurus and Pisces adore you. Your lucky number are: 51, 2, 4, 49 and 15.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is ripe for the sampling. Why be choosy? Eat up. Singles: Mix, mingle, practice your flirting skills, and generally submit yourself to the stresses and joys of dating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Oh, hurrah! Your high standards are met. If you go to work intending to BE the product, you’ll sell it. Tonight, stop accommodating and let others make the effort for a change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s a fabulous day for investments, especially those that involve more energy than money. Write letter, and clearly state your case. Friends and lenders show leniency.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are poised to make some money. The schmoozing you do this afternoon helps, too. Tonight, tolerate a close friend’s partner – with a smile if you can muster it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a great plan at work, and you don’t have to be in control of everything for it to go right. But being in control of some things makes you feel powerful. Rituals bring comfort. Your trusted habits remind you of who you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Nothing can blossom without light. Your light comes in the form of captivating ideas, images that fascinate you and, best of all, love that embraces you without asking questions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Emily Post urged women not to swing their arms like dangling ropes or smoke cigarettes while wearing a bridal veil. Today, you’ll have your own set of instructions for loved ones to keep them from setting themselves ablaze.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “My fiancé was born Aug. 26, 1955, and I was born Aug 25, 1960. We are planning a wedding date of March 1, 2010, in Maui. Can you tell me if this is a good date for us?”

Yes! You have fierce intuition because the date you’ve chosen is perfect. Not to bore you two Virgos with the details (impossible!) but the science of choosing marriage dates belongs to a specific branch of study called electional astrology. On that day, five planets, including the lady of marriage, Venus, will be in “we are forever one” Pisces. Venus is blessed by Pisces, giving your union generous, lush notes of timeless love. Another green light: The moon and Saturn are both in Libra, the sign of marriage. Your partnership’s emotional default will be “smooth sailing” as you two strive for a state of equilibrium and harmony. You also have a strong foundation of accomplishment through teamwork. On the rare occasion for disagreement, you’ll turn two no’s into a yes. I’d suggest planning a sunset wedding and reading your vows between 5:40 and 6:00 in the evening. Those delicious Pisces planets will be in the seventh house of marriage, and you’ll give your union the best possible “birth planets will be in the seventh house of marriage, and you’ll give your union the best possible “birth” chart possible.
