ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you look for them, you’ll find people who accentuate your best qualities, making you irresistible in the eyes of a new love interest. When in doubt, it’s better to ask for an objective opinion than to risk making a mistake.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A significant person in your life is starting to understand there is more to you than meets the eye. There’s no need to go on being frustrated by that difficult friend you feel you must hang out with. Picture the change your want, and ask for it!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Band together; people in teams make more money and have more to offer than you do all alone. Besides, exciting ideas and new friends come into your realm, and you’ll soon give up on feeling shy in a crowd. Keep to your strict budget.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Explore a new business idea with an eye to expansion. Adding a class to your schedule is a good idea, especially if you’re single. Stars prompt you to make the first moves in friendship, romance and business.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re a good sport, which goes a long way toward making others feel comfortable. No wonder you’re so popular. The morning involves the challenge of understanding every role in your family, not just your own. Value loved ones tonight.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 3). You are picked over others for some prestigious honor, job or windfall. From August to September, the limelight is on you. Make use of this attention by telling others what you want. People will want to introduce you to new partners. In August, reach out to highly placed executives who make an exception for you. Rents and costs are lowered at your request in January. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 11, 14, 26 and 35.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Look for the best price on that big-ticket item. Loving partners bring luck; count your blessings. Standing in line will connect you with worthwhile contacts, so don’t shy away from any place because it’s too popular.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s up to you to stick to your beliefs; others may suggest foolish moves for monetary gain. A hot date includes a ride through the countryside or a walk in the park. Anything you build from scratch tonight will eventually bring luck.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Before you get into action, take time to think through all the details, especially regarding a money-saving strategy. The key to making things go smoothly comes to you around noon. Resentment could mean you’re at the wrong job.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are thrust into a diverse social scene in which influential business contacts are made. You are every bit as interesting as the ones who intimidate you. Remembering this helps you break through barriers to get what you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Positive friends give you a hopeful feeling. If you don’t have any optimistic people around you, it’s a good time to get some. New friends you meet at a concert or sports event become important business contacts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love life complications are remedied. Let your guard down, and be the first to admit your deep affection and need for another person. Fun and adventure keep your wheels turning. Family members take precedence tonight.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Playing with the kids or like the kids is lucky. Show up early to the party to help out, since that is when the real fun begins! Traveling light affords you an opportunity that would impossible to take advantage of otherwise.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a dog groomer who would like to start my own pet-care, grooming and pet-sitting service. Do the stars show I’ll make money at this?" I was born March 10, 1959."
Pisceans have the knack for "speaking" to animals, so you certainly have chosen a great career. Your chart shows you have a special talent for training dogs and it seems you will be most satisfied when working with difficult pets. You like a challenge, and you also like working random hours. Pisceans chafe at a purely 9-to-5 routine. Pet-sitting and grooming are good ideas, but require more overhead costs. Before you leave what you are doing now, get to know all the financial ins and outs of your business. Pay particular attention to legal issues. Though you could do this on your own (you are very responsible and caring), it would be best if you could form a partnership with someone who has a bit more business experience. For now, take a course or learn more about obedience training. I feel you could quickly become one of the most sought-after trainers.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Beck Hansen could become inspired by the new Eminem movie, of all things, and finally break onto the big screen. This music and style innovator is a Cancer with a Virgo moon, two aspects that need security and a stable home life. When this isn’t happening, this young Cancer gets busy turning his hunger for the basics of life into brilliant art. His love and money planet, Venus, is in show-biz Leo, which guarantees that a Beck concert-goer will be sufficiently entertained.
