The Aquarius sun reminds us how important a sense of community among friends really is. Feeling accepted comes from being accepting of others. Commit to an interesting group activity. In doing so, you will be reconnected with the joys of cooperation without a worry about fitting in. Strong friendships bring unexpected benefits.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re so talented, there are many different kinds of things you could do to make money – choose just one, and you’ll make more. Concentrate, persevere, and be rewarded. Friendship with a Taurus grounds you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An entirely pure relationship requires you get back to the truth. You’ll spend the weekend gauging your level of commitment. By Monday, you’ve got answers. Remember them so you can share later with others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your romantic destiny is what you decide, either consciously or unconsciously. Tonight, you want to move ahead quickly, but something tells you to be methodical and careful. Listen to hat scrupulous urging.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are the master of your emotions. Remember this, and you’ll be able to get your work done, regardless of what happens. Go out and get your errands done, and you’ll run right into the person you most need to meet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t skimp on preparation, as success requires an all-out effort. Your natural magnetism attracts people who are able to understand what you’re about. Tonight, the truth can easily be extracted from a rumor.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (January 31). This is a year to reach for the starts. Set new goals now, and you could meet them as soon as June. Movement on the romantic front in the next six weeks includes the stabilization of a relationship that has been shaky. New love for singles gets heavy in April. Work done in late May (while others play) brings you into the financial major leagues. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 29, 15, 13 and 54.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If there aren’t enough hours to tackle all your priorities, don’t struggle to find a way to do it all. Chop things off the list, and change your priorities. Be sure to remain ethical in matters of love.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Stop trying to control something that’s beyond your control. Just accept it, and move on. A former love could return to the scene, and you’ll have to think about how you want things to go before you’re actually in the situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you can visualize calm with all the chaos that’s around you, you’ve won. Tackle chores, or do some creative writing. Inspiration is available, and so is healing power. You’ve charmed a romantic hopeful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The biggest thing standing between you and a fortune is a thought. Pay attention to what the voice inside is saying about money. Decisions can wait. Use patient logic when it comes to planning your future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Friends help you out of financial trouble, but you can’t depend on a loved one to do the same without complications. Pull out your attention-getting dugs tonight when you’ll feel like moving and shaking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sunny romantic prospects perk you up about just everything! Seek out the finer things in life, or at least admit what you really want. Very little effort is needed to obtain goals now if your head is in the right place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Craving the excitement of first love, you might have to figure out how a couple that’s been together forever can generate a few butterflies. All you need is an activity that challenges both of you, and the romantic excitement follows.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: As the moon shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius this weekend, intellectual connections mean infinitely more than physical attractions. The stars shower the lovers of the world with a terrific sense of humor, which can be used to pull in that hard-to-reach person. ARIES: don’t go searching for what you know you’ve already got. Take time to appreciate loved ones. TAURUS: You’ll be spoiled with affection from another earth sign (Capricorn or Virgo). GEMINI: A love interest is impressed by achievement that speaks for itself. CANCER: romantic surprises are in store for even the most cynical and cautious. LEO: Relationship pressure is alleviated when you air grievances. VIRGO: Keep a private matter to yourself because next week you’ll feel differently about it. LIBRA: Be warmer around the in-laws, and they will respond in kind. SCORPIO: Your attractiveness is at a record high. SAGITTARIUS: you feel sexier and sexier as the weekend progresses _ dress up and flirt. CAPRICORN: Be choosy because you can have the cream of the crop. AQUARIUS: Make your intentions known on lucky Saturday night. PISCES: Staying home brings sweet satisfaction.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Leo and Aries are a wild par. Since Leo is the egomaniac of the zodiac, and Aries is the excited child, these two will fight for the center of the spotlight. The good news is, each is equally deserving and talented. This weekend’s loving vibes will help stabilize this passionate duo, turning their massive energy into love that accomplishes more together than could be done by either alone.
