The Leo moon and Aquarius sun are an interesting combination. Two things are certain: There will be a show, and there will be an audience, metaphorically at least. Perhaps the audience won’t like the show, and the performers may feel criticized by the audience. But the important thing is the effort was made. Get out and enjoy yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do it your own way. Neighbors and friends have their own appealing tricks, and it’s natural to want to copy. But don’t. It’ll only annoy them. Once you hit your stride, you’re totally unbeatable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your status as someone special is made obvious today. You could be proposed to, asked to be the executor of a will, or let in on social goings before anyone else. But there’s no need to draw attention to your position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s always a way to work things out – something you believe today to your very core. You’re very inspiring when you turn creative fantasies into artistic projects. A child is the focus of some special effort.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Once you state out loud what or whom you want, the world opens with ways of getting it. Be steadfast with your standards. Settling for less is dangerous. Someone you admire asks you for a favor!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Go with the abundant spirit of romantic play early in the day; flirt, mingle, and make friends. Your sunny outlook is infectious but also draws more attention than you may want to handle. A fantastic debate tonight will lead to kisses.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (February 15). You really push yourself this year, which is what it takes to be the best. Or is it? Take a look at your approach to life. Perhaps relaxing and doing what you really enjoy will lead to your greatest achievement of all. Sweeties play games in March, which makes love exciting in retrospect. June is a money month, so relax and enjoy. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 28, 42, 30 and 6.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No matter how hot the tip, don’t bet on it. Ideas are lucky, but develop them quietly before presenting them. Find your angle. A strong stance is admired and rewarded. In love, there’s no rush; passion comes in its own time.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Communicate! Meaningful talk changes the way you treat the people you love and helps build a healthier foundation. No one likes to be put on the spot; avoid testing others, and they’ll show gratitude with special favors.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The day starts with a blast of energy, which can blow away obstacles in your path or destroy what it’s thrown into. Ask someone to be a mentor. The long-term potential of a love relationship is finally revealed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Experiment with a new sports hobby; try something you never thought you could do or would enjoy. You’ll love the results. Other areas of life improve when you discover you have the power to re-shape your body.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). History doesn’t necessarily have to repeat itself, but the option is yours. (After all, your choices add up to your destiny.) An ex-love enters your life. You can renew the relationship if you want it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Accomplishments don’t define you. That’s why you might resist the urge to tell new people all you’ve done. What people around you care about now is how you treat them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your wild spirit will take you places that you once doubted you’d ever reach. Money comes in as result. Reunite family members, especially kids who are battling it out for parental attention. Teaching by example is lucky.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Taurus with a 16-month-old daughter, and I am currently going through a huge custody battle. We have had evaluations done, and the doctors have sided with me, which is great. My current boyfriend is wonderful, but recently something happened, and I went to my brother’s house to get away. Now, my brother knows things, and I am afraid he will tell my ex and I will lose my daughter. It doesn’t have anything to do with drugs or cheating, but I am afraid my brother will stab me in the back. This happened while my daughter was at her father’s for the weekend, so she wasn’t even in the same state as I was. My current boyfriend loves my daughter as if she were his own, and I bet my life that he would NEVER hurt her in any way. I am asking your advice. My daughter is the most important person in the world to me."

Stubborn Taurus, though I know you hate to be wrong, you’re really in no position to judge whether or not your current boyfriend would hurt your daughter. You need time alone to take care of your daughter and to figure out why you keep choosing abusive men. Break it off with him this week.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Nathan Lane proudly shows his quick-witted air-sign gifts on every talk-show appearance he makes. This year, his chart lights up with day-to-day public recognition, which indicates to me that he could be approached to host his own talk show. With his Scorpio moon and Venus in Cancer, Lane is probably very psychic and will bring out a different side in his guests due to this intuition.
