The weekend is awash with romantic episodes, and everyone’s passions are ignited. Old hobbies bring pleasure and a chance to excel in a new area. The romantic spotlight shines on those who appear uninterested in finding a partner. Be cool, as the universe will do the matchmaking for you. On Saturday night, disregard rumors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
. Deliver applications and promotional material before the due date to better your chances. A friend’s introduction leads you into a new romance. If you are stuck for answers, hit the road to clear your mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
. Phone conversations increase the chances of new work coming through, so start dialing! Even cold calls are better than none at all. There is terrific love potential tonight with a Leo or Pisces. Answer questions with candor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
. Generalizations will keep you from enjoying what each person has to offer, so put your personal prejudices aside. Unusual circumstances are good for a love affair. Hot dates are with Scorpio or Aquarius.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’re shifting your ideas about what love should be. Sometimes, being less available is actually better for the relationship. Multiple tasks challenge you mentally and prepare you for success. You can take on the world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
. You’ll advance quickly in finance or love by applying principles of abundance to your life. Make it your job to relax and find humor in everything. People from your past welcome you with open arms.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 26)
. You come to terms with a relative, old love or colleague, and by Aug. 15, you have money, more independence and the contacts to make a fresh start. By October, you are in a whole new industry, doing work you really believe in. In November, you win something extraordinary. December is the love month; seek out Aries and other Cancerians. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 17, 29, 34 and 45.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
. Get excited about work, and it goes quickly. You are strong on the social scene if you are careful not to try and impress anyone. There is more potential for new and passionate relationships if you take things slowly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
. A mentor helps you make important decisions. Your communication skills are stellar; get in touch with whoever can help you. In-laws offer gifts or incentives for making a decision in their favor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
. Work projects are hard to let go of. Turn over authority to someone else so you can gain perspective and increase your overall productivity. Tonight, you finally feel like a partner understands your needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You have a gift for money making and can even be ruthless. Don’t change your mind about a business venture in the middle of things – all follow-through is lucky. You weren’t invited to the party, but you’ll find love anyway.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
. An unexpected gift comes from someone you helped. Communication is favored, and you are most skilled in this department. A blind date is much better than you think it will be. Family hassles must be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
. Hesitation creates doubt. Think fast, and speak up. Be sure you know where your kids are tonight; listen to their advice on family matters. Others are relieved to know what you need them as much as they do you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
It is not as important as you think to be right. Let others lead while you learn from their mistakes. Someone could hire you to do what you normally do for fun. There is no need for drastic measures regarding your love life.

WEEKEND LOVE REPORT:
Singles: The stars want you to sample love’s delights, and the menu is full. On Friday afternoon, keep plans fluid, as you may have a last-minute invitation that turns your life around. Aries and Sags: Let others attempt to win your love. The more you pull back, the more they run after you. Taureans, Pisceans and Virgos: Stop acting like your mother is in the room. Let potential lovers know how imaginative and supportive you are. Geminis, Aquarians and Libras are so busy trying to be popular that they forget that they ought to focus on their date, not the other women and men in the room. These three signs are now a bit nervous about commitment and so may sabotage a good budding relationship when it is what they really want. Cancers and Scorpios are like catnip to the opposite sex. Use this weekend’s charismatic aura to strike out into new clubs and groups, and you’ll gain immediate acceptance. Capricorns and Leos are a bit concerned about money this weekend. If they seem less than excited about going out, it may be because they are counting their pennies. They usually pick up all the checks but should let someone else do so for a change.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND:
The Cancer/Leo combo is noteworthy because each sign has what the other wants and needs. Cancers dream of living a fuller life, going out and being in the midst of the action. Leos wish they could find someone to help with the expense of the good life they so often lead, and Cancers can and will help out. Each sign is generous to the other, forging strong love ties and deep bonds of appreciation.
