Today, the love planets, Venus (romance) and Mars (physical attraction), are very close in the heavens, and both are in Gemini. Today is a great time to bring up commitment topics. Women who have been reluctant to discuss this subject may find that their significant others are actually relieved when it is brought up. Review a new business contract.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). An unappreciative person will suddenly understand your value. A fresh opportunity may tempt you to take a long shot, but you’re better off holding back. Let someone else be the guinea pig. Go to bed early tonight for optimum health.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). More options for expanding wealth will open up. Don’t get sidetracked this afternoon – concentrate on the task at hand. Choose activities that are in line with your top goals. Singles might consider marriage. Are you ready for the big step?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Concentrate on the process rather than the final product. If you overlook someone’s flows, you can make him or her your friend. Unsatisfactory romantic situations will turn around for the better. This relationship is definitely challenging.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In general, people are in a meddling mood, so know your own mind and heart. Perfection is boring. Besides, your foibles make you irresistibly sexy. Your luck in money will depend on how fast you make a decision. Don’t fear endings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Almost everything can be made pleasant with a positive outlook on life. Advertise a special event for the sake of promoting your business. Keeping a high profile will help. Romance is the last thing on your mind, but you’ll attract love anyway.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). This will be a year in which you get your way regarding important matters, especially in love and with a current employer. The stars may allow you to become indispensable. Thus, you can gain some huge advantages. You’ll find yourself in a new commitment by August, when you simply state what you want. Marriage is likely in March 2003. Start a sideline project. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 7, 22, 28 and 34.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Keep thinking of what’s best for the welfare of everyone around you. A big prize will go to the one who is mature. Have a reassuring talk with a loved one to clear up any jealousy or miscommunication. A visitor will surprise you this evening.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Know what you want, and move deliberately. You’ll meet a fascinating new love interest on the job. You have luck in money; buy raffle tickets, or take small gambles. A bold gesture involving a Virgo may set off an interesting chain of events.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your mate is willing to accept you "as is" after many months of struggle. A bad debt situation can no longer be ignored, so seek counsel from an outside source if you’re confused. Financial changes will bring emotional rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mix with people who can stimulate your mind as well as help you enjoy yourself. Friendship and a love relationship may be born of comedy. If you can make others laugh, you’re in. Solve your transportation problems right away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Tell a loved one exactly what you expect, and you’ll get results. Friends could pull you in different directions; follow your conscience. Productivity makes you look sexy tonight, so don’t worry if you have to work late.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Use the right technology for the job; don’t skimp. You finally realize that looking for an escape is futile if you’re not happy with yourself. Develop the qualities you’d like to have by first deciding what you want to project.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unite with those who share your ideals. Together, you’ll be unstoppable. Organization is the key to upward mobility. Tonight, you’ll be inconspicuous to a love interest unless you introduce yourself first. Take a short trip.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Aries, Leos and Sags, it may be time to discard your current partner and search for a new one. A friend may become an integral part of your life. Taureans and Scorpios, you need to slow down and give a new love relationship time to develop. Plus, don’t appear to be too available, or you might end up being less desirable. Cancers and Capricorns, you might do something that’s very uncharacteristic of you: Cancel plans at the last minute and say "yes" to an invitation from a stranger. But be safe. Your wonderful new attitude will finally attract a potential partner who is able to handle your unique personality. Geminis, Virgos and Pisces, be ready to shift your priorities, because your current mate may not be what he or she seems. Don’t drop this person just yet, but recognize that there are other "fish" in the sea. Libras and Aquarians, beware of some trap your sweetie may spring on you. Sure, you are up to it, but you hate surprises. Have an exit plan ready in the back of your head, especially on Saturday night, when the mood is right.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Two Virgos can blend together with such harmony that you’ll wonder what took so long to bring the two of you together. Common interests and work goals will make you not only wonderful love partners but excellent friends, as well. However, since both of you are so picky about your possessions, avoid moving in together, at least for the time being. Once you can up with a compromise, things will go smoothly.
