ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "What should this Taurus lady be looking for in a relationship and in a man? I seem to be having a problem in connecting with one who interests and stimulates me. I was born on April 25, 1960, at 11 p.m. in Los Angeles."

Not only do you have your sun in Taurus, but the moon, too; Sagittarius is on the ascendant, with Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn. These factors describe you as a buoyant but down-to-earth lady. What you are looking for, obviously, is a relationship that works… that is, full of more than simple declarations of undying devotion. With your Venus in Aries, unfriendly to Saturn in Capricorn, love (Venus) and fear of loss or disappointment (Saturn) seem to go together for you. You may have been afraid of your father or may not have been close with him. Some women with this aspect are looking for a father image and lover combined, but may not realize this consciously. I would love to see you with a Pisces. I think you’d find that you are incredibly tuned in to each other. Mars in Pisces shows that you are basically a sensitive and romantic type of woman.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Caroline Kennedy is a strong-minded Sagittarius who has a big year ahead, as do other Sagittarius men and women born in 1957. Increasing amounts of personal power have an impact on the world this year and may change people or systems that were before thought to be immobile. Sagittarius has courage when others don’t, as well as the ability to lead others by example.
