A relationship that starts out light and friendly could get passionate by nightfall, as the moon transits from Libra into Scorpio's smoldering influence. The Cancer sun/Scorpio moon combo gets us in touch with our strong emotions, and many individuals feel like raw nerves. Running to the safety of someone's arms is one solution. Hide out at home if you have to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Dreams hold the answers to your problems. Write them down as you recall them. You could be collecting income from a fun part-time job right now if you pursue it. Bone up on technology that can make your life easier and better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know more than you think you do. Give your body a chance to catch up with your mind--try yoga. Cancel morning plans so you can sleep in. Take a break from feeling overly responsible for others. Just worry about yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The tension between you and a colleague or neighbor is a sign of mutual attraction. A love interest is easily entertained because both of you feel comfortable with each other. Seek romantic advice from a friend. You'll learn a lot.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 29). It's a year when everything seems to "click." Marriage is probable foe singles in December or next July, especially with a Libra or Taurus. You will be able to pay off a large debt by the end of the year, due to a raise or promotion you will get in August. Business investments made in December will be quite successful. Continue to make smart financial moves. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 11, 49 and 39.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Laughter and satisfaction enrich your life, and you make arrangements to have more of both! Don't be bullied into thinking you need to excel and strive for your goals until you're miserable. Take a breather between energy spurts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Pursuing your education attracts romance. Learn from a fashion guru! Tonight is best for connecting with friends on a deeper level. A conversation conjures up feelings of resentment-- get them out of your system once and for all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The morning features an opportunity to broaden your mental horizons: A conversation with an interesting person opens new career doors. Resolve to catch up on technology. Someone secretly wants to be you!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). At work, you are filled with hope when others lose faith. Nonetheless, get at least three opinions before you commit to a project. A partner feels the need to run neck-in-neck with you. Be flattered when others want to compete.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Overtime pay allows you to shop 'til you drop. Let a family member introduce you to those who can fund, hire or promote you. Don't be too quick to pull out your wallet-- you can help a financially stressed friend with emotional support.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Come clean, and tell the truth. Rationalizing only holds you back. An older person introduces you to a whole one aspect of completing your work tasks. You won't be interested in anyone who comes on too strong, but many will try.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Scorpio's passionate influence, in tandem with the Cancer sun, keeps us in touch with our strong emotions.

Sagittarius: You come through when others let someone down. Capricorn: Put down the work, and devote yourself to having fun for a change. Aquarius: You'd like to blow off someone's overemotional reactions, but it's unwise to do it. Pisces: Sensuality and tenderness are the stars' gift to you via an enthusiastic partner.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Capricorn and Taurus get a special feeling that all is right in the world. Earth signs are always a sensual match, refusing to live in dreams and determined to create heaven on earth for each other. Even if they happen to be ex-mates, these signs have luck making custody arrangements, financial agreements and general rules of conduct by which to guide the relationship. Each fulfill their lives separately.
