As the sun shifts into Scorpio, so do our requirements of one another. Quite suddenly after Saturday, a more concrete truth will be sought by all. We’ll want solid and believable evidence that what we think is happening in our lives really is happening. Expect romantic partners to get nosy; they’ll read signs and subtext like never before.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Establish a rapport with one who will be in your life, whether you like it or not. Materials you’re looking for will fall into your hands. You’ll make progress with assigned tasks but may find it difficult to motivate yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Having a tight deadline will help you do more. Catch up with an old friend tonight, and expand your options. It will be relatively easy to strike a mutually beneficial compromise with difficult business partners this afternoon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Times are strange now, but it will all work out with a bit of patience. Wait until tomorrow to shop, if possible. New responsibilities will fall on your shoulders tonight. Realistically, they are your obligations, so tend to them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Embrace new challenges, and use your resourcefulness. Fundraising project are favored. By listening and acting thoughtfully, you can easily resolve a misunderstanding. Get out and share what you’ve learned.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An important meeting will fulfill your expectations, but not in the way you imagined. Establish limits at work, or a certain someone will impose on you endlessly. Befriend a neighbor to start a positive cycle of civility in your life.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 25). Let loose! It’s time to ease up on yourself, allowing plenty of room for the serendipitous luck that will accompany your every move in November. Market your skills, talents, and so on – it will lead to entrepreneurial success in the new year. This will set a chain of events that will lead to improved fortunes in the area of business and pleasure. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 19, 44 and 7.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A disappointment can be reversed if you act quickly and decisively. Keep a record of complaints, and learn to make a system work with the information you already have. A Scorpio’s love is what you really want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A cheerful attitude will win over skeptics. Take time to be by yourself – people at work will get overwhelmingly irritating this afternoon. Discuss music with an attractive new friend over dinner. Make a special connection with an Aries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An opportunity for career advancement will present itself to you, so play your cards right. Relatives will profit from your business experience. Make a public appearance this evening. Don’t forget to look extra sharp, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Emotional displays aren’t necessary. Give romance the same attention you give to your job. In regards to a pending domestic project, completing it will make you feel strong, confident and in control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Make peace wherever you go. A partner will need your ear, not your advice. In the singles scene, sometimes temptation is most delightful when it is never heeded. Having a liaison with a Leo is lucky, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If reason say some thing and intuition another, trust the latter. A member of the opposing team can be persuaded to cross over to your side. Necessity is the mother of your greatest invention yet. You will get rewarded soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your energy is terrific – no wonder the phone keeps ringing. Do what’s good for everyone. If you happen to be the only winner, the pleasure will be short-lived because you’ll have no once to share it with. Property sales will go through.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a female Cancer with a Virgo moon. I’ve been dating men of many signs, but I want to know m ore. What sign should I date?"

Cancer, the crab, loves to stay in its shell. And everywhere it goes, it carries a sense of its home. With your Virgo moon, a love of being under your own roof is more prominently ingrained. You are most likely looking for a man who is an earth sign. The earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) prize a healthy environment above all else. Taurus possesses a sense of home that is probably the strongest.

"Are Libra and Aries as horrible together as everyone says?"

An Aries husband is usually fervent in pursuing his career and business goals, while his Libra wife appreciates his efforts. Aries and Libra always make great business partners because they each have attributes that complement the other. In marriage, a Libra helps Aries become aware of the finer things in life. Libra shows ambitious Aries that a rich family and home life actually adds to career goals by providing a safe haven from the difficulties of business. Whenever a couple has birthdays six months apart, there are always fireworks.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scorpio actor Jimmy Kimmel of "The Man Show" will do some more mainstream work for a major network in the spring of 2002, breaking him from cult status into the household-name realm. A stand-up routine will help Kimmel achieve this level of popularity. Scorpios born in ’67 will find that the coming year will be full of career surprises!
