The more you relax, the healthier you will be. Sagittarian lunar vibes may urge over-commitment and activity that could cause burnout. Resist the temptation to say "yes" too often, and don’t let others make you feel a false sense of obligation. The best way to help others is to take care of yourself first; that way, you’ll have more to give.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). At work, seize the chance to advance (this afternoon, it’s hard to miss). You may have a little crush on one who is unavailable. You may fight yourself, but you’ll be glad if you do nothing about it now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Communication of all kinds is messed up. Patience is required. You are on a winning streak when it comes to love, but don’t push your luck. Dinner at your favorite restaurant impresses social contacts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone in an enviable position keeps showing up to bust your feelings of accomplishment. Sideways glances only produce bad feelings – keep looking ahead on the path you’ve traveling. The best competition is against yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Make a decision. Don’t let indecision paralyze you. A short trip clears your mind and adds some spice to your love life. Do research, and you’ll get an income boost from new investments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A project ends and garners notable reviews. You knew it would work. Be careful not to take loved ones for granted because today’s actions could have far-reaching consequences. Show your love instead of just feeling it.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (November 28). People like you, and it’s a great year for business, too. Look for financial growth and investment gains now through the end of January. Romance and business blend nicely in February. Change has a way of finding you in May. A new car or house is featured in the spring. Your lucky love signs are Cancer and Leo. Your lucky numbers are: 41, 24, 39, 34 and 14.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s hard to get down to work with your mind buzzing. Attractions are strong, and a secret crush could be revealed today! Don’t be tempted by the allure of something new. If you stick with what you have, you’ll be happier.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Matters related to home and family may feel unsettled. Meditation will help current stress. It is best not to think about what you don’t have and start using what you do. A romantic relationship is right where it should be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An employer needs to be straight with you. Patience is a virtue only up to a point. It could be time to stand up for yourself. Remember: It’s better to be alone than to be with someone who doesn’t appreciate you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). With patience and determination, you will outlast the competition. What is not being fulfilled in relationships sticks out like a sore thumb. Loosen the purse strings – it’s not a crime to spoil yourself once in a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). An allegiance at work leaves others feeling left out. Make sure to keep all informed, or you’ll suffer the consequences. Children ask for important advice – take a deep breath, and do the best you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Hurry and get your ideas on paper and into the right hands. Procrastinating could cost you money. Ignore the comments of co-workers who are clearly jealous of you. For answers, delve deeper into a curious family situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life is a series of challenges. Your job is to meet them with style. When in doubt, laugh, sing, and take things more lightly. Those unemployed will find jobs through the paper. Deal with a family squabble diplomatically.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Why did you write that about Leo and Pisces? I love a Leo, and he loves me. We’re extremely happy. Our love makes me smile every day."

I’m not sure what you’re referring to, but my first instinct is to advise you: If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. Any two signs can have a beautiful relationship together if they work at it. Some are just less work than others. That said, my second instinct is kicking in. Why did you take the time to inform me that I was completely wrong about Leo and Pisces in your case unless the forecast you read hit a nerve? Relationships are complex. No relationship is all good, nor is any all bad. I’m not trying to ruin your happy picture but merely to give you an astrological viewpoint that suggests how people of all signs can more easily understand one another and live together in harmony. As a Pisces, you protect your sensitive feelings at times by seeing things all one way. The more you are willing to consider other points of view without getting defensive or angry, the deeper and more grounded in truth your relationships will be.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: The serious-minded Scorpio actor David Schwimmer may be funny on screen, but his more dramatic side will get a chance in the spotlight this year. Versatility is featured for Scorpio men born in 1966, and many will be using new skills, making money in new ways and falling in love with a new kind of person. Schwimmer’s popularity grows when he makes audiences cry in an independent film.
