June 04, 2001

It’s one of those split days when the lunar transit encourages us finish to if off with a note that’s different from the way we started it this morning. Expectations are for fools, so be fluid, flexible and willing to roll with what life tosses your way. Success tips include leaving controversy out of conversation. Tonight, skip bringing your date home for dinner. Go out.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Remember that he who shall lead must first learn to serve, and you’re bound to be crowned. A woman you’re close to shows remarkable spunk under pressure. Acknowledge and praise others for their remarkable character.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It may seem an unlikely role, but you’re the peacekeeper at all gatherings now – you are the only one who can get along with everyone there! Watch for an opportunity for exotic and exciting romance with a newcomer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You see dollar signs everywhere you go. Shop for sale items only, especially through classifieds and neighborhood junk sales. Being over critical could cost you the confidence of a child, so bite your tongue. Try to be a lenient guardian.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Partnership issues are tricky, so try to steer clear of marital spurs or picking that old bone with your best pal. Gathering are a safe bet, as long as you keep circulating among the crowd. Smile at the jealousy of a pal. You have confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). More work is on your schedule. Make no room for procrastination, as you have the energy and motivation to clean the deepest, darkest recesses of a garage or closet. A diligent Virgo will help if you ask nicely.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 4). There’s a passionate year ahead. Your creative impulses entice you to travel more or enroll in summer classes. The more you learn and educate yourself, the sexier you’ll become! Home improvements lead to a better state of mind within the next two months. Your marriage months are July and December, especially with lucky love signs Virgo and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 21, 50 and 2.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your time is worth more money than it seems, so make this extremely clear to those you meet. Clients and employers will seek your advice, and it’s nice to be respected. Wisdom and clout will come through new experiences.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s apparent to all that you’ve worked hard to achieve a credit rating or reputation for efficiency, so don’t let someone else blow it for you. Keep credit cards close to your chest. A friend is acting like your big brother/sister.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you’d like to shed a few ponds, a shabby fast-food routine or cigarettes is not the way to go. Now is the time to leave it behind. Focus on a healthy new diet. Be patient in love, and play the waiting game in order to win immediately.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is nothing too sappy about drawing the object of your desire closer to you. Use flowers and candy to charm your partner to sweet surrender. Your romantic life will be in full throttle tonight. You won’t want to put on the brakes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re rewarded for getting the job done. Your mate is forgiving; better yet, you’re forgiving toward yourself. Life only asks you to do your best, not the impossible Socialize tonight with others who share your interests.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Strive for greater cooperative balance at home. Astrological aspects warn against spending too much. Besides, what you invent instead of what you buy is more beneficial. Tonight, you’ll be your best and least critical judge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A more experienced individual shows you all you need to know. Learning is the key to higher earning. Try new methods (perhaps featured in a book) to kick your love life into high gear. You’ll find yourself in a romantic car ride tonight.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m interested in a Taurus man and a Leo man. How do I capture the heart of both, since I don’t want to choose one yet?"

You wouldn’t, by any chance, be a Libra, would you? Here is the Taurus man profile: With this sentimental man, you must tell him you love him, show him you love him and tell all your friends you love him, hoping it gets back to him. Is Taurus insecure? Maybe a little bit. Now he is in the mood to make a commitment and have a woman help him out of his romantic apathy. Since Taurus loves to eat, drink and be merry, (quietly merry, in a very non-athletic way) he wants a woman who enjoys the finer things in life to share the celebration with. A little planning and a lot of patience will bring the Taurus man into your arms. Now here’s Leo’s profile: He’s loyal, faithful, egotistical and vain enough to admit it. Leos are one of the most romantic, appreciative signs of the zodiac. He likes cards, gifts and plenty of special attention. He likes to brag about what his current love does for him. Though he’s a leader, he likes to have a woman make plans for him because he’s in command during the work day, and a breather from responsibility is often welcome. Your appearance counts.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Courtney Cox has a chart that proves to be much less exacting than her character on "Friends" is. Her commitment in love comes from Venus’ aspects featured in her chart. She’ll be the next "Friend" to become pregnant, for certain! Also features this year could be a legal battle to disprove an article printed in a tabloid.
