December 20, 2002

The Capricorn moon understands the bottom line for you emotionally, and you’re out to get that fulfilled. The Sagittarian sun has you asking things you never would have had the guts to ask last week. You should be very proud of yourself by the day’s end. If you love your work, you may get asked out on the job – a dicey proposition.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you focus on problems or surrender power to others, you could interrupt your flow of good fortune. So it’s imperative that you do whatever it takes to play your cosmic cards effectively. Think and research before you decide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Winning ways bring luck – this might include looking the other way when someone makes a mistake or letting someone save face, even though her or she doesn’t deserve it. Your classy action attracts classy people to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there is anything you desire or a heart you want to capture, it happens this weekend – that is, if you put your mind to it. Be ruthless in your pursuit, but play skillfully, not showing your cards or revealing your strategy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Boredom (though you don’t even realize it) could cause you to want to stir up some action. You are looking to provoke others, and this may encourage you to become litigious or confrontational. Watch it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A powerful rush of astral energy hits you. Expectations are high and perhaps unreasonable. Your rebellious side is highlighted, making you ready and willing to speak your mind. It may be wiser to say nothing at all, however.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (December 20). A strange coincidence starts the year off on an intriguing note. It definitely is a sign you can interpret a number of different ways. Pick one, and follow it to fortune – or at least a bit of seed money for your pet project – in February. Your lucky time for love is April, and you could even elope. Lucky signs to hook up with are Aquarius and Pisces. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 17, 19, 49 and 25.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love is likely to interrupt your set agenda, and you’ll welcome the break from routine. Restlessness is seldom your problem, but if you feel like roaming, try window shopping for a planned big buy. Don’t rush to sign anything.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). It’s easier to let go of practical concerns than of that nagging worry that your love may be lighting up for another, the stars are playing tricks with your intuition, so relax with a sport of game. A hasty promise will be regretted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s no stroll down easy street, but you’re up for the challenge. Exceptional effort on the part of your other half should be rewarded with exceptional care from you. Reward children who’ve shown responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind is on power, publicity and production – that is, until the clock strikes 6 p.m. Close friendships are highlighted through the weekend. Have a gathering for children at your house, and you’ll play a starring role.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel like you’re out of step with the world in the morning, but this only gives you permission to forge your own path. By the afternoon, you’ve got the understanding ear of someone sweet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a day of special messages, so keep your antennae tuned. Separate true love from ordinary flirtations; don’t allow an unworthy flatterer to win your valuable heart. Spontaneous fun is the most relaxing tonight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Complete relaxation is the healthiest pursuit, as you need to renew your mental forces. Strengthen your relationships with those who matter most. Mail, phone calls and visits are lucky. An evening at home is favored.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: The spirit of adventure is what draw people toward one another now. It’s a terrific time to put a shine on a facet of your personality that hasn’t been seen yet. ARIES: You are sexy when you let people know what you really think; TAURUS: Your sexiest quality is that you know your own mind. GEMINI: Give up what you can’t change about your partner or yourself. CANCER: you might be a little tired out by the recent excitement in your love life. Take it easy. LEO: You’ll be in demand and fielding offers all weekend. VIRGO: Be the lucky host or hostess with the mostest (that is, if you want the mostest action in your love life). LIBRA: Someone who has been teasing you will finally stop and deliver. SCORPIO: You can relax. A special person loves you unconditionally. SAGITTARIUS: Romantic partners finally give you well-deserved respect. CAPRICORN: It’s when you don’t care whether or not the romantic sparks light up that a flame starts to burn. AQUARIUS: Don’t doubt your power for a minute – you are sexy for the exact reasons you think you are not. PISCES: Learn much about the world from someone who gives you the confidence to face it head on.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Libra and Aquarius have common needs in their hearts, though Aquarius can seem far-out even to Libra. What Libra does is open the feeling part of good ol’ detached Aquarius – just what the doctor wanted. Libra, on the other hand, will enjoy partaking of Aquarius’ ever-widening circle of friends. Both can talk themselves silly and should practice developing silent communication as well as verbal.
