There will be a considerable energy surge tonight with the moon’s entrance into the fire sign, Sagittarius. The sign of the archer focuses our intellect on what we what to accomplish before the end of the year. With other aspect at play, it’s important to remember to ask for help from friends – they are more receptive to requests now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Set aside time to pursue an educational or creative endeavor. If you don’t, you’ll never get to it. Your mate has a short fuse today. Only constructive criticism will help a friend improve; white lies will only create drama.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ask a favor bluntly, rather than trying to imply what you want. Your romantic partner will enroll in a class or special program with you. Work together as a team if you want to pas with flying colors. Give away what you no longer need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can afford to take risks today, as your luck is fabulous. Claim what is rightfully yours before someone snatches it from right under your nose. A new acquaintance could become a valuable ally or romantic partner.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do what you’ve been putting off before it’s too late. However, avoid taking revenge on someone who richly deserves it. Review your own work, and be confident that the critical eye of a higher-up will not find errors.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Family members will back you up when you take a stand. Surround yourself with positive people. Your admiration for an individual who’s in a career position you desire will fire up your ambitions. Develop your artistic talents.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 12). You’ll be most lucky when taking impulsive actions next year. Instead of waiting for a signal that will never come, take action. You deserve to do what makes you happy. Next month will bring fresh possibilities for romance, but your heart must be open for it to happen. Travel in April will be fun and may seem frivolous, but it actually isn’t. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 22, 38, 44 and 13.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Find out for yourself if the hype is true. Pending employment changes will definitely be for the better. A Sagittarius or Capricorn figures heavily in a business arrangement. Make your wishes crystal clear to loved ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Volunteer or philanthropic work will open up new employment possibilities. You know how much you can do without overestimating your energy. Be sure you read the warrantees of anything you purchase today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Focus on strengthening your ambitions. Focus on your personal desires. Those who are marriage-minded will finally hear what they’ve been waiting for. Singles will be as lucky as they are spontaneous this evening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Working a few yours early will get you that bonus or promotion you’ve been waiting for. Office or family politics are bounds to involve you sooner or later, but let it be later if possible. Start wrapping those parents.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Great publicity will help you move in the right direction. Purchase something used – you’ll save big bucks. Cook or decorate for family members tonight; it will be surprisingly fulfilling. Blind dates will also be fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Psyche yourself up for the holidays. The more confident you are, the more luck you’ll have. A Leo or Aries is on fire with ways to help your project move along. You may have to travel for to buy the perfect present for a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have luck in finance. Put your full effort into paying off existing expenses without creating new ones. You have a lotto say, but wait until the afternoon to say it. Remember, it’s all about great timing, especially under this transit.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Scorpio, and my boyfriend is a Pisces. Can you tell me whether we’ll be together forever? Also, I’d like some ideas for a new career."

Your birthday show you and your boyfriend’s chart have the Aquarian moon, which, coupled with your highly compatible sun signs (Scorpio and Pisces are a famous match!), bring a remarkable fusion. Your Venus is in Scorpio, and his Mars is in Scorpio – very sexy stuff! You are a feisty Scorpio, with Mars in Taurus directly opposite your sun. He is no shy, dreamy Pisces, with Saturn in Aries near his sun opposed by a conjunction of Uranus and Pluto in Virgo. No one can say whether the two of you will be together "forever," but if I were you, I’d hang on to this highly compatible relationship and try hard to make it work.

As for your career change, you have a lot of talent that could be used in law enforcement, areas of finance (real estate escrow officer, for example) or surgical nursing. Just go to your local community college, and find out what’s available – Aquarian-moon people have a natural ability to pick up knowledge of whatever interests them!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Teri Garr embodies the quirky, friendly Sagittarian persona. With Mercury and the sun in friendly Sagittarius, she’ll have a long acting career, like so many of her fellow Sagittarian actors enjoy. This year, she could branch out of her current role as Phoebe’s mother on "Friends" into a starring role on another sitcom.
