By nightfall, welcome the annual introduction of the sun in Aquarius. Life becomes far less predictable under the Aquarius sky. Reach up and out for answers, as the ones that used to satisfy you will only create uncertainty now. Your dreams are filled with exciting possibilities that, surprisingly enough, were there all along. Make them come true.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maintain rapport with difficult neighbors, even if it seems pointless at times. It’s hard to speak up when a loved one has unreasonable expectations, but blind compliance is even more dangerous to your relationship. Explore your talents.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your doubts about a relationship will be put to test. Sometimes, you just have to trust your instincts and see what happens. Get on the move early today. People listen to you, so be sure you know what you’re talking about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Once you deal with the source of tension in your life, it will be surprising what you can accomplish in a such a short amount of time. Have faith in your ability to think clearly. You’ll be a success in a community function or group event.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A love prospect will become less interested if you refuse to lay your cards on the table. You command respect when you make a hard decision. Seniors citizens will receive special favors. Dreams are prophetic, so write them down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Put your efforts into enjoying the present, rather than living in the past. You’re convincing and will get the support you seek. An old flame’s persistence will win you over. Singles: Mingle at a hobby club. Visualize your ideal home life.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (February 16). You’ll get fast results this year. Smooth the romantic road for the next three months. Confront obstacles, and you may make life-changing decisions during the last two weeks of April. Your best signs for a lasting romance are sexy Taurus and confident Capricorn. Even when you singles out there aren’t looking for a committed relationship, it will find you in June. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 5, 9, 31 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know what’s best for you, even though others insist that they do, too. Something you’ve been expecting finally arrives, but your reaction to it will be different than you thought. Relax and show your true self. People love your personality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be tempted to go on a spending spree. Save money and buy wholesale. A friend will give more than you asked for. Vibrations of good fortune will surround your home. All family matters are lucky, so enjoy them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make new friends, come up with new ideas and encounter a lot of information. The work you do at home will be the most creative. Hone your problem-solving skills via do-it-yourself projects. Love isn’t easy for everyone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Get an early start so that you may absorb delays later in the day. Reconnect with your passion during your personal downtime. Social achievement is highlighted tonight. Outdoor recreation will lift your spirits.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your stylish flair excites someone special – it is OK to exaggerate. Your business partner understands you more and is willing to go the extra mile for you. Someone you’ve known for a while will end up being your new love interest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The arts are featured this evening. You may perhaps be rewarded with money. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you’ll have to come up with something unique. A Gemini will whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get "friendly" agreements in writing – having the details on paper will help you avoid pitfalls. Sexy and positive feelings are featured tonight. Compliments are well deserved, so take credit for your most recent accomplishments.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Capricorn male. I have the Leo moon, Venus in Aquarius, the Capricorn sun, Scorpio rising; and Mars, Saturn and Jupiter all in Virgo. Any suggestions on which signs I would get along with best in terms of romance?"

You are well-informed about your birth chart, and with Venus in Aquarius, you can definitely get along with a lot of different types of girls, which makes your romantic journey all the more confusing and delightful. Your attractions tend to be lighthearted, playful, flirty, intellectual and exciting. On the other hand, they are often transient. It’s a challenge for you to go deeper and really commit in a relationship, but women, when they experience your charisma, have every hope that you’ll decide to do just that. Your appeal is widespread, and your interest is in turning yourself into a huge success. Sexy Scorpio rising works to pull in the female population into your realm. For long-term love, a Taurus or Virgo would be exceptionally lucky, but I don’t see you settling down until you are more established in your career. For the next decade, the idea of being with one woman seems very appealing and strong to you, that is until you meet the next girl – and the next one. Just have fun.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Former Bangle turned solo artist Susanna Hoffs is a Capricorn singer/songwriter with a chart for leadership. With career moves figured into this summer, she could take a position as vice president of one of the hottest indie labels around. With Mars in Taurus, she’s not one to take chances when it comes to her career, or other people’s money, so any new artist she backs will have to be a surefire winner.
