Venus shows mercy on our human hearts, finally moving in a direct motion after the last several weeks’ trip down memory late. Repeating the past now seems like the stupidest thing we could do. Be careful not to shun it all, though, since we owe our lessons to those past adventures. Gemini’s lunar vibes gives us an immediate lift.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Put desire for success to work for you. An Aquarius could use your stick-to-it attitude to make headway in important projects. Tonight’s lesson includes learning the value of accepting assistance. It makes others happy to help.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Show appreciation wherever good works are done, and you’ll get more and more help. Once you realize that some of your past investments have been more about ego than actual value, you’ll know what’s worth spending on now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When a boos asks you to share center stage, go along. Others chicken out anyhow, and you look like a terrific sport in the end. Romance finds you, and nothing thrills you more than the opening sequence of a beautiful affair.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Others are less threatened by your ambition than they used to be. In fact, some see this as an opportunity to let you to take over while they relax. Offer your services to an older, wiser Gemini or Libra.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Creatively, you are on fire. Imagination furthers your business, but when it comes to financial matters, get real. This is no time to turn soft. Big gains can be made if you zero in on your goals.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (December 05). This year’s theme will be breaking through barriers. Right away, your love strategy changes, and you get more respect. Romance is best next month when you meet people with similar values. Raise issues about money with the boss, and you’ll be the making more of it by January. Your best signs for love are Aquarius and Leo. Travel in June is exotic. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 50, 49, 5 and 2.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Avoid friction with superiors. And if you’re a superior, avoid creating friction with yourself. Rally to get more supporters. Competition is tough, but you are tougher. Be open in love. Inflexibility puts an early end to a relationship.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Productivity is highlighted. Forget trying to be the most creative, and just get the work done. If you get stuck, look for inspiration in success stories. Foreign affairs can be profitable; just make sure your contacts are totally solid.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Surrounding yourself with equally creative people will not necessarily make you produce more. Instead, be on the lookout for help from business-minded individuals. Loved ones can introduce you to new clients and buyers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your family is growing closer. Instead of taking on too much responsibility, take a leap of faith instead. Keep putting ideas on paper. The more descriptive your notes are, the more likely one of those gems will catch on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). AT least one stubborn person will have a change of heart, so don’t accept "no" as a final answer. Ask for favors to launch your pet project. Everyone is looking for a worthy cause, and it may as well be your dream.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Business starts with a bang, so make sure you’re not caught understaffed. What makes work fun is that you’re in charge. Put an end to fishy maneuvering as soon as you spot it; if not, you could be implicated!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Educate yourself before jumping into ventures. Love has made you more than a little vulnerable. Creativity is born of emotional release, so spend time with the one who is best at getting under your skin.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m interested in two careers, medicine and electronics. Which direction should a Virgo (born in 1985) go?"

You’ve got a great mind for detailed information, necessary to succeed in both medicine and electronics. Many colleges offer double majors, so take your time deciding what you really want to do. With your brilliant mind, you could invent an electrical device used in hospitals around the world. The right path reveals itself when you’re willing to give up being impatient and fully engage yourself in what fascinates you.

"My birthday is Sept. 2, 1967. My boyfriend’s is March 7, 1962. We have been together three year, and my parents are pressuring me to get married. Why should we?"

Marriage to the right person at the right time can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. Your cynicism could be due to the difficult aspect between your moon and Jupiter in Leo and Mars in Scorpio. Though warm and generous, you have difficulty expressing anger. You turn inside instead of communicating. Compatible points in your charts show your hearts are in tune. He’ll change your attitude about marriage in time.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scorpio actress Meg Ryan is all booked up for years of movies as she and other Scorpio women born in 1961 immerse themselves in work as a way of controlling an uncontrollable future. This is a positive move. It forces the Scorpio woman to push through blocks in order to give all she has signed up to give. Blissful love is featured for Ryan in May of 2003.
