The moon in Virgo bodes well for implementing improvements, and the recent transits into Scorpio will help you be honest and real about where you are in life. Starting your day off with the feeling of denial is unlucky, so stick to the changes you’ve made this time. Scorpio is all about honesty, and you just might surprise yourself with how blunt you can be.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Vitality and ideas will pour from you once you resolve to stop worrying about things that are out of your control. Make a difference in someone’s life. A neighbor will finally apologize, and you may renew the friendship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will have a super seductive glow this morning. Many people will want you as their partner, so make the best choice. Keep your social options open, as a special VIP could invite you to join his or her circle of friends.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t feel guilty about taking some downtime. You are resting, and you need to restore your energy. Explore new situations on the financial front. Make small but important changes regarding your spending habits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone will want you to lead the way, including your parents. You’ll feel like escaping to your favorite place, so why not indulge in romantic fantasies with someone special? You deserve to get away once in a while.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 23). Your amazing emotional intensity and ability to really get your teeth into what’s important to you will all be part of your success strategy this year. Extra cash will land in your lap this month. Show off you radiant, sexy charm in December. You could end up fielding proposals because of it. You may marry a Taurus or Virgo next October. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 19, 27 and 40.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Decide what would bring you the most enjoyment, and do what it takes to get it. The only mistake you’ll be tempted to make is overextending yourself. You may add someone interesting to your guest list at the last minute.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have to power to change any situation, if you believe you can. Participating in political events will bring you closer to people who affect your destiny. Stir the embers of a romantic fire, or it might go out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be considerate, and use your strong moral sense to navigate through tense situations. Prepare for everyone to be stressed around you. Something silly will put a lot of fun into the mix tonight. Laugh it up with your buddies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Streamline your life. By simplifying your everyday tasks, you can unleash your most profound creative powers – then you can go full steam ahead! You can really make a different in the lives of others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). True satisfaction is in on its way, so stop creaming and get going. You’ll be motivated enough to push yourself to new personal or financial heights. Outrageous acts you decide to take in the evening will be fun but costly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you put business motives before your personal goals, you’ll achieve both simultaneously. You’ll win money from competitive events. Someone close to you is trying to tell you how important you are, so open your ears.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Couples will have fun just kicking back and relaxing. You will find yourself at a romantic crossroads this evening. Choose a path carefully, and remember to use your heart. Scholarly pursuits will bring fabulous opportunities.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Venus, the planet that rules our loving hearts, has started to explore the sexy realm of Scorpio. Although it has a fabulous effect on our sex lives, it also tends to make people tell it like it is in relationships, which is sometimes a bit painful. If one of your dates thinks you are going steady, and the other on thinks you’re a weekend fling, that will all come out in the open this weekend. Muster up a bit of compassion for anyone whose hart takes a beating. Aries: Exaggerated emotional needs will keep you searching for what is in your own backyard. Taurus: Your distant romantic partner is completely faithful. Gemini: Your love life will blossom when you step out of the role of being "your own worst critic." Cancer: Romantic surprises are in store for those of you who are usually the most cynical and cautious. Leo: Your special love interest will be impressed by your most recent achievements. Virgo: Alleviate relationship pressures by airing out your grievances. Libra: Singles will find romance with a neighbor or co-worker. Scorpio: Spending time alone forces you to assess your romantic relationship. Sagittarius: Your humor will attract a new love interest. Capricorn: Make your intentions known Saturday night. Aquarius: It will be more fun not to get your way this weekend. Pisces: If you visit an old friend, you may unexpectedly fall in love.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Leo and Aries make a wild pair. Since Leo is the egomaniac of the zodiac and Aries the excited child, those two will fight for the spotlight. The good news is that they both equally deserve it. They are both talented and witty. This weekend’s loving vibes will help stabilize this passionate duo, turning their massive energy into love that accomplishes more in a partnership than they could ever do on their own.
