The Sagittarius solar influence encourages you to extend your trust to those who deserve it. Listen to what others have to say, and you’ll learn enough to make important decisions about whom you’d like to spend your time with. Keep in mind that much can be accomplished within a partnership – way more than on your own now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While others search for adventure, you stumble onto it. Take loved ones at their word. A friend is involved in a group that could benefit you, too. You recognize a financial dead end before anyone else does, so speak up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Resistance to outward change can be easily dealt with when you control resistance to inner change. The whole gang might meet at your place tonight. You’re the perfect host, always ready with what the party needs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Past generosity is recognized. A powerful friend wants to help you out. What you know serves you better than who you know now. Sidestep emotional commitments until you are sure. A small courtesy impresses dates.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Liberate yourself from a binding agreement, and resolve not to agree to anything like it ever again. New relationships are forming (Libra is especially favored). Original work and inspirational thinking will get you through any jam.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are in a quiet mood, but friends or family members inside on drawing you into the action. A genuinely unselfish act brings future fortune. A difficult woman tests your poise. Writing helps get negative feelings out of your system.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (December 13). You’re serious about success. Let someone you trust act as coach over the next three months, and you develop a plan you can count on all year. An expanded romantic lie may have you dancing on air through January. If you’re single, try new things. The love of your life is probably someone you haven’t meet yet. Best signs? Cancer and Leo! Your lucky numbers are: 9,20, 30, 50 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you hang out with someone brilliant, you’ll start think differently. A breakthrough this afternoon paves an easy road for you. Playing host, even casually, will pay off. Friends bring friends you’ll be glad you met.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Willpower is strong, and you work on your physical self, perhaps giving up a vice or changing an eating pattern. A new relationship falls into place effortlessly. A struggle isn’t necessary because you’re really in love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone is waiting for the opportunity to become a permanent fixture in your life. Singles find love by making room for new ideas. For luck, shop with a Taurus or play games with an Aries.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Motivated friends align with you. It is safe to operate under the assumption that others have only good intentions. A love relationships gains momentum and may be heading toward marriage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Follow your heart and intuition through an exciting day. Be careful not to overextend yourself, and try to keep projects within reasonable limits. Special interests are vying for your time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). For best results, keep the pressure on until the job’s done. A fretful sweetheart needs reassurance. Planning a romantic getaway will reaffirm love. Seek Capricorn or Sagittarian advice on the perfect spot.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You see a glimpse on the future and realize changes must be made. Study brings instant results. Trips, letters and long-distance calls are all sources of great inspiration. A financial opportunity is developing, so don’t be impatient.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: There’s nothing subtle about the way love comes on this weekend. The Sagittarius sun says, "Go for it," and gives us the guts to do it with gusto. ARIES: Love’s commitments aren’t easy to keep, but you’re as good as your word. TAURUS: Singles embark on a new relationship. Especially worth pursuing is someone who makes you laugh, like a Gemini or Scorpio. GEMINI: Singles find dynamite prospects at work-related events. CANCER: The momentum of passion could carry you away before you know what’s happening unless you build some time into your weekend to get away by yourself and reflect. LEO: Love challenges you. You’re up to it, but you’ll wonder if it’s worth all the fuss. VIRGO: Things pending can wait no longer. LIBRA: Your sexiest quality is high optimism. SCORPIO: Complicated loves bring out the best in you. SAGITTARIUS: You don’t have a clear picture of what you want in a relationship, which is why you’ll be constantly surprised by what you get. CAPRICORN: Celebrate your breakthroughs in love. AQUARIUS: Singles meet love while introducing friends to new people, ideas and places. PISCES: A lack of energy signals a time for change.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Gemini and Sagittarius are both social creatures who enjoy a fast pace. They’re an easy match, and they’ll love the fact that they don’t have to spend a lot of energy getting into a groove. That leaves more resources available to conquer the world! Or at least explore it. It’s always a lot of fun with these two around – unpredictable conversation and daring action.
