The Aries sun/Cancer moon combination is frenetic, as the mood changes quickly and adjustments aren’t made as gracefully as one might have hoped. Tolerance is required, as foolish acts affect relationships. Love is magnetic, and some lose their heads. Just don’t be too quick to name or define the terms of new relationships.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do what it takes to get into a creative mind-set. Work on a logo, business-card layout or signature stationery. You can knock this out in a matter of days if you get a refreshingly resourceful Aquarius or Pisces on board.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know you attract more bees with hone than vinegar – but what do you want with a bunch of bees? Sometimes, you have to play the bad guy or at least be firm to make your point. Attention isn’t evenly distributed at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Keeping the personal stuff light and carefree is the answer. A short-lived romance only leads to new and better relations – and before you even have time for regret. Concentrate on goals that have nothing to do with love now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Surrender – it’s easier. And it’s super-lucky go give in to the shims of a boss. A distant hottie seems much closer now that a certain interfering someone is out of the picture. Make your move now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Hearing a loved one talk about work is almost like listening to a foreign language. You both see the need for change. To keep your balance emotionally, step back and regard the day’s events in a detached, but feeling, manner.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 15). Sound investments and prudent money management ensure bold financial progress in the year ahead. Career risks in July lead to a promotion or transfer. Financial status is boosted when you employ qualified professionals. Romance with a colleague begins in June and is serious by July. Travel plans with a Pisces can’t go wrong. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 29, 10, 8 and 24.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You win respect by defending one who cannot defend herself. Your word stands without explanation. In fact, if you do try to explain, you draw suspicion to yourself. Be fully aware of the limitations of others.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Someone you’ve been working with will show his or her true colors – which surprises you quite a lot! Don’t let yourself be pressured into thinking that your feelings count less than anyone else’s. Real friends encourage you to be better.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Improve your concentration by ridding your office of noise and clutter. When this is done, work goes quickly. Keep all things career completely separate from all things love for now. Set aside special time for a loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A cycle of new friends, ventures and journeys to the unknown are featured. The action picks up immediately, and suddenly, one cannot go anywhere without the schedule book or Palm Pilot close at hand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Make yourself more available to others who want to know you. You are judged by a date or employer on the topics of conversation you choose. Stay with current events that don’t have to do with politics.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may feel like someone is standing in the way of your fresh start. What seems to be stopping you is much bigger than you, but that doesn’t mean you are helpless. The obstacle is there to help you choose the right way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Give yourself credit for accomplishments big and small. Relationships that were fraught with misunderstandings finally have a chance of going forward without a thought to what happened before. Take a short trip together.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m an Aries (born March 29, 1956), and my ex-husband is a Leo. We started dating again, but then, I feel in love with a married Aquarius man. What do you predict for me?"

Your greatest asset in love is your intuition, and your second greatest is sheer bravery. You’ll feel like being impulsive, but don’t marry or re-marry anyone this year. You are changing so rapidly, decisions made now are not likely to stick. You are really seeking a great deal of personal growth, and you need a companion who is ready to help you learn. With a Leo, you feel the love excitement and the warmth you need emotionally, but you also feel a lack of intellectual stimulation. Aries have a dual problem: They want complete knowledge of a love partner, and yet, they want to be able to learn from this person – a rather impossible position. You have opportunities in May to meet a whole new group of people who will encourage you in this transition time, and this could provide the missing element so that your Leo husband would completely satisfy you. Aries also love a challenge in love – and there is no greater challenge than an Aquarian man.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Al Gore has a natal chart rich in diversity. His Sagittarius moon and Jupiter give him a well-rounded understanding of global policies and a natural ability to work with foreign cultures and governments. Because of this, he could become a key negotiator in an international problem involving several corporations competing for the same rights. Acting in on a non-partisan capacity will be lucky for him this year, too.
