Astrological movement includes a sexy transition of love planet Venus into the sultry arena of Scorpio. This revs up many a love life and starts a few infatuations, too. Whether or not a relationship is going to work out is practically irrelevant during this new cycle because it’s all about exploring fantasies, feelings and impulses.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Difficult tasks are worth the money involved. There’s lots of action today, and you might not be sure what to think. Pangs of jealousy subside by the afternoon. Think of what you have and why you are where you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s time to explore and discover. Act on speculation, even if it forces you out of the comfort zone. The urge to follow our own drummer is overwhelming. To move your love life forward, you must be open to new things!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Taking on more than your responsibility doesn’t really help anyone. Guard your closest relationship, as it affects every other aspect of your life. Resisting change is futile. Welcome the new. Capricorn is your lucky love match.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). New domestic circumstances take some adjustment. Small expenses begin to add up; save money by forgoing a few luxuries. Someone close may feel as though he or she is constantly living in your shadow, so be extra sensitive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Material possessions are overrated. Still, if you are truly determined, nothing can keep you from your goal. Slow down, and do one thing at a time, or nothing gets finished. Keep the faith – contentment can be found by nightfall.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (September 7). It’s a lucky love year for you. Your romantic relationship with a Libra or Scorpio is fantastic, and many will hear wedding bells in November. Material possessions that have been difficult to obtain are given to you in December. A wish you have long had will be granted in January, even though it may seem impossible now. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 3, 5, 43 and 44.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone who is living life to the fullest will be a major inspiration and a source of encouragement if you dare to ask for it! You deserve the treatment you give others and should expect no less.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Work alone for the highest level of satisfaction. Even if you are the only one who is affected, be spontaneous. Have the family over for informal gatherings; don’t go all out, but keep it relaxed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What seems daunting is for the better. Hang in there. Sort out complicated emotions regarding a romantic relationship. You can’t change the negative attributes of anyone but you. Make no hasty decisions in financial matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s OK to be the one making all the major effort for now. A love interest confides innermost secrets but doesn’t have the world’s greatest timing. Avoid overanalyzing or letting your emotions rule your tongue. Keep level.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Seriousness is such a turnoff today. A newcomer intrigues you – you could make a very successful play for attention and steal a heart, too. Take care of household details yourself; others won’t be able to do it to your satisfaction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are stronger and sexier when you do your own thing and wait for others to pursue you. Passionate controversy tickles your imagination and stimulates your intellect. Tonight is perfect for writing about your feelings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Forces beyond your control may seem to keep a loved one from you, but this is just an illusion and a test. Working with friends could lead you to have to redo their job secretly later on.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "The one I love (an Aries) has always been honest about his work coming first, but he says he loves me. I was born Dec. 22, 1961. Should I give him up or follow him around to wherever his career takes him?"

Your friend has his moon in Cancer, which is usually the marker of one who very much needs a warm, cozy home and usually a steady mate and children. However, some difficult planetary energies aspecting the partnership sector of his chart show that he may not be able to sustain a relationship. Certainly, you would have to be very understanding. You have Venus and Mars in Sagittarius, giving you an open-minded and open-hearted approach to love – and clearly, there are strong bonds between the two of you. However, you have moon in Cancer, too, opposite your Capricorn sun, and you need emotional nurturing and a secure partnership. Chances are, you can talk your friend into taking the marriage step. But you’ll never change him, and if his career frustrated him, he may be very tough to live with, or he may take off. He loves you, yes, but can you handle the ups and downs? That’s really the question you need to answer for yourself.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Adam Sandler is a Virgo with a playful Gemini moon and Mars in Leo, the sign of show biz. That could explain his tremendous popularity at the box office. He would do well to get into the reality TV craze and put his fun-loving and mischievous nature to use on a weekly show. Many movie stars feel it’s a step down to do a television series, but Sandler could see this as an opportunity to further his art.
