Building the mystery is a sure way to attract others who are compelled to involve themselves in solving your puzzle. Ride the roller coaster of love through the Cancer moon, which is certain to show you an individual or situation you’ll be very attracted to – but at the same time, the wiser part of you knows to run, not walk, in the other direction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Offer an olive branch to the opposition. However, don’t overdo it, though you are sure to feel you have to. Simplicity is the key. It’s lucky to add water to your surroundings with a fishbowl or fountain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your luck in romance gets hotter when you read the latest books, studies and opinions on the topic. Even if you decide not to change, you are better for the investigation. Share secrets and desires with a Capricorn or Leo.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You accept yourself on a deeper level, which opens new opportunities at every corner. Keep the commitments you make – though there will be many reasons you may not want to, you benefit greatly in the end.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you can cross two things off your list, this hectic day will be a success. You are most productive working in small doses anyhow. Living love as a principle as well as an emotion attracts the right partner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Eliminate blocked energy by repairing what’s long been worn out. This could include your car or your relationship with a Taurus. Follow instructions with new equipment. Reading the booklet will save you time and headaches.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (November 02). This year, go as far as your imagination can reach. Romantic hopefuls pine for you this month when your attraction sector is lit up. Creative projects get a boost, too, perhaps with financial backers. Money matters can fluctuate throughout January. Make deals that contribute heartily to your retirement! Your best signs for love are Gemini and Pisces. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 13, 26, 42 and 1.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you feel outside the club, you are welcomes into it when you ask to be invited – it’s that’s simple. Sit back, and watch while the job, love interest or money prospect comes to you. Love intensifies when you’re honest.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Shine a light on ignored relationships, and determine their places in your life. Conflicts resolve easily when one small step is taken. Feng shui tip: Rid your house of fluorescent lamps; add warmth with incandescence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be strategic, and you won’t waste energy. You do it better than anyone else, so don’t delegate. A change of heart is featured in the morning – your new plan of action proves far superior to the last one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Elders steer you in the right direction if you’re brave enough to ask. What’s a bit inconvenient now could save you loads of time and money in the future. Be sympathetic toward those who have not had all your advantages.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A presence from your past re-enters your life as if nothing’s changed, but it has. Cancer plans that are what others want and not what you want. Take notes regarding the way a confident friend handles a romantic challenge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Teaching and social work are favored. You need to be doing something positive for the big picture to really be happy. A Pisces helps you figure out what you want by showing you what you don’t want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Giving back to the community is featured. Artists get a burst of creative energy that manifests itself in lucrative ways. But it all rests on your ability to follow through. Make it your priority to see projects through to completion.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Would you advise me to return to someone I always believed was my soul mate? I admit we are both tied up in other relationships, but I still feel so strongly about him, and he feels the same way. It seems like the two of us would make a better match than the people we are currently with."

Your charts show that you are both prone to multiple romantic fascinations and may well be mutually intrigued by the idea of having a mysterious, exciting fascination for its own sake. At this point in your other relationships, you may both be vulnerable to these innate tendencies. There are strong ties between you, and he has some confusion in his home environment that may be driving him to seek a "pure" romance in a relationship, only to aid his shaky identity. Your Mars positions are opposed, which can be very sexy but which may also be difficult over a longer-term relationship. This man has a strong power over you; you are extremely attractive to him, but your importance in his life depends most upon timing. Be careful; your solid home life mean a lot to you, and if you look deep inside yourself, you’ll likely see this affair is not worth it.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: A sexier star than Julia Roberts would be hard to find – she was born under the sign of smoldering sex appeal, Scorpio. The usual rumors rock her world this year as much as she tries to keep the drama on the big screen and some semblance of a happy, healthy personal life. Scorpio women born in 1967 are starting to put more importance on being intimately connected to someone who is also a best friend.
