FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The Gemini sun rules the week, making sure that social fun and games are a good part of our focus. Even though Cancer’s lunar vibes at the top of the week could keep you noodling around the house, the Gemini sun makes sure we at least venture out to the corner store to get our blood circulating. Under Leo’s dramatic lunar influence, Memorial Day madness could include speeches, announcements and games. All of it will be caught on videotape. Tuesday features a nurturing and improvement-oriented Virgo moon. Just be sure to point those improvement efforts at your own life, where you can do the most good. Others change as a result of needing to change, not as a result of you telling then what to do. By Thursday, you’ll have paid off all of your bills and sent birthday cards, too. With the lunar influence in Libra, being a solid partner is key. This week’s night life is friendly and flirty, and singles will exchange numbers and promises to get together on another occasion. You’ll be a wild child!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Lenny Kravitz is a charismatic Gemini who could be headed for a reconciliation this year with Lisa Bonet, his ex-wife and the mother of his child. For this superstar rocker, and other male Geminis born in ’64, the stars favor reevaluating past actions and forming new alliances with old partners. This may also include working with a band member from his past to produce a wacky and progressive collaboration.
