ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your leadership ability will win recognition. Family decisions can be made with clarity and sound judgment. Be prepared to assume extra responsibilities. You’ll enjoy the friendliness of superiors at work; bask in it while it lasts.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Apply early for a coveted position. Be more accepting of everyone now. Demonstrate your commitment and responsibility so people know you’re serous. Superficial work talk will lead to important insights. Strive only for the best.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are pursued by a determined wooer (quite the opposite of your usual love routine). A home inventory will clear the cobwebs from your mind. Make a list of what to keep and what to throw out – clutter is an ugly thing to look at.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your personal ambition is highlighted; get in touch with it. Set at least one goal that entails satisfying yourself. Go shopping with a friend to help keep you from bottoming out the bank account. Your relationship becomes passionate.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Big challenges are ahead, so sharpen your thinking skills. Special vitamins can help your health; ask your homeopath. You’re a teacher and student at the same time. You’ll run into plenty of opportunities through travel and foreign people.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 27). Big offers from your most stifling influences will come now through April. In May, family and community goals will become increasingly important. June features love. Singles will find excitement with a Gemini, and comfort and affection with a Virgo. Your marriage months are September and December. You’ll have more financial freedom after a January windfall. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 29, 15, 33 and 44.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). All new efforts at work are favored, as are relationships with co-workers and especially new people to whom you can show the ropes. Give the house a thorough cleaning. It doesn’t have to be springtime to enjoy spring-cleaning.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love with your special someone is the theme tonight. Now is the time to make up with a friend who’s been distant due to a misunderstanding. Your co-workers will share their knowledge if you ask them nicely. Enjoy being a follower tonight.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). New ways of making money will be accented, but first you have to be in the right frame of mind to see the opportunities around you. Do-it-yourself repair jobs, crafts or projects will help you relax and get you in the Zen-zone.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Turn flirtation into real romance; ask for a first date. This afternoon will be prime time for calls and interviews. Suggestions to the boss will go over smoothly, but they might not be implemented until you take measures to do it yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wonderful dreams contain a prophetic message. You’ll find a way to heal long-standing health issues. You’ll be in the mood to dig into procrastinated chores tonight, especially ones that take you down memory lane.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Enjoy your friends. If you are given the chance to expand your circle of acquaintances, go for it! There’s a chance to gain trustworthiness by giving a new friend valuable tips. You and an ex-mate will be friends again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Romance is the hot subject; but keep a good distance away from the gossip circle, and focus on your own backyard. Rely on honesty, and be straightforward with a demanding sweetheart. Give the kind of love that you want.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My birthday is Dec. 14, 1947. I’m an Aries rising, and I’m running my own film-production business in a medium-sized town. So many changes in the technologies I work with make me have to try harder than bigger margin is pretty slim right now. I’m afraid to charge more than I do because I don’t have the track record that a lot of companies have. Will it be worth it to upgrade my equipment?"
Don’t worry about your track record right now; just charge competitive rates. Undercutting yourself just because you’re "new" is unnecessary, especially since you know what you’re doing, according to your natal chart, which promises high integrity in business. Jupiter is in your sign, so your Sagittarian luck is strong, yet may be tempted now (especially because Jupiter is in Sagittarius in your natal chart!) to overextend yourself, perhaps being too optimistic about the potential for incoming business and cash. What you want is balance, of course, and with your Capricorn moon, you also want security! This year, the need for new equipment should probably be met as you go; you won’t be sorry for your conservatism. In 2002, you’ll see solid business gains and cash-flow increases that will allow you more leeway to get what you want and still stay out of the danger zone.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Pisces performers always have some talent up their sleeves. Take "Taxi" star Judd Hirsh, who, besides being a stage actor, is one skillful poker player. A Pisces loves to surprises people, and in the upcoming months, Judd may try to reassemble the members of the old "Taxi" series as a tribute to the late Andy Kaufman.
