Visits and charts are sure to get wacky as the sun keeps plodding through Aquarius. Technical or electrical snafus can bring work proceedings to a temporary halt. The week is full of business dealings and very beneficial financial result. Use the Sagittarian moon’s energy to go with the flow if you experience an unexpected break in your daily routine.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today, you’re learning the rules of love. Indiscretion is not recommended. Vibes for harmony will improve soon; meanwhile, encourage those around you to make progress in areas where they’ve failed before. Search for security.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Extraordinary effort is required if you want to meet your own expectations. Utilize your influence wisely. Strong disagreements among your teammates can be set aside until later. Your efforts to improve yourself are finally paying off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Snatch the chance to get a good job. Exercise authority; you’ll bring out the best in others. A harmonious domestic scene is your great inspiration. Problem-solving will be your specialty tonight. Family love is a source of power.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Try new methods, even if they are suggested by someone you find overbearingly opinionated. True love is one of your basic needs, so don’t play fast and loose with the affections of a sincere person. Confess to a Virgo.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Work and health are emphasized. You feel terrific, but don’t overdo it. Exercise is the best medicine. Tact is necessary in job matters; what you do now will carry great weight with those around you later. Your plan changes – what a relief!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (February 6). Your career frustrations are due to the decisions you’ve recently made. Focus on monetary investments in March, but investments of time and energy will be better made in July. They will yield big bonuses by this summer’s end. The best months to travel are June and September. Your luckiest months are March and October. Complete projects at home. Your lucky numbers are: 33, 19, 41, 34 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Cast off old habits, and turn a new leaf. Friendship with someone you once admired from afar will be the highlight this evening. You’ll wisely counsel your mate or business partner, and you’ll be privy to new information you receive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your public image may seem more important than it is. Glitz and glamour are featured this afternoon. A little extra style goes a long way. Don’t let the weeds of daily living hold you back. Everyone wants to be entertained constantly tonight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If there is nothing left to celebrate, make something up! You may need to resort to plan B at work. If you revise things, the new way will bring more profit in the long run. Your charisma is a magnet for creative, ambitious people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Set your sights on reaching the top. Watch your reputation. Others will try to link you with objectionable people or activities. All travel is lucky and full of excitement. You’ll find a new love interest in a distant but intriguing city.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A loved one wants more of your attention and may create a crisis of sorts just to get attention. Children have wild imaginations, and you can challenge them to reach new creative heights. Singles: It’s time to take a chance in love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s time to come out of your shell. Communication is the key: Meet new people, learn to e-mail or fax, if you don’t know how to already. Tonight, dress up if you plan to go out, because you’ll meet valuable business contacts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be completely absorbed in home projects. Finding ways to make repairs cheaper and more efficient provide great satisfaction. Grab the opportunity for romance. You could make money selling something you made or fixed.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "What qualities do I possess as a Capricorn? I am often a loner, and I’d like to ask you if there’s a possibility of love between a Gemini and me? I can’t help but feel there are things that hinder me from being my true self."

Your primary strength in love is your ability to understand the bottom line. Sensing what drives people is a talent, and knowing whether you can deliver what they need and want is something you do so naturally you probably don’t realize that other people have trouble with it. You are a political creature and can recognize the part of love that is a game and play it without getting emotionally involved. You’re exactly right when you say that something hinders you from being your true self. When you know what a potential romantic partner wants and can deliver it, sometimes you forget about what you want. Learn to become vulnerable. It’s OK not to always have the power in a love relationship. Here’s your lesson: Surrender to love, and let someone else be the stronger one. A Gemini can teach you to have fun and loosen up, but ultimately, you’re better off with a Cancer or Virgo.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Oscar De La Hoya will choose between music and boxing – both areas of his work tease him with promise of big riches and fame. Splitting interests isn’t such a fantastic idea for Aquarians this year, but they will be tested by their desires and pulled in many different directions. The ability to focus equals success. De La Hoya will also be blessed with more good news. He may have young ones in July.
