The full moon in Libra makes a romantic tell-all proposition. Partners will prod one another to be explicit about their commitment level, personal details and future plans. Trying to cover your feelings is futile and will only cause annoyance and skepticism in the person you’re trying to impress. Business partners will also want full disclosure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Super-sexiness is directly tied to how well you are doing on the job. The kind of personal life you get from professional success can’t be recreated with any product you could buy over the counter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s luck for trend tracking. Manage your time carefully at work to ensure maximum efficiency. Let a co-worker have a day in the sun. A confident move attracts the investor you need. Your love life offers a bit of turbulence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Organizational activities go into high gear and continue at top speed all day. Accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. Possibilities expand through social relationships. Little touches make all the difference.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Explain objectives to all participants before tackling a project. Those close to you want to know what they’re getting into if they offer help. You also must decide what you’re willing to risk. Once the groundwork is laid, follow through.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you’ll be running around all day, this evening, you’ll look back on the day and decide that none of it was really work – what you were doing was fun! Attitude shapes your experiences, and yours if terrific.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 30). Your birthday is the launch of a long journey with major surprises. Finish a project in the next three weeks; once you wrap up the loose ends, you are brilliant. Married couples find that a little extra money in May eases many relationship stresses Just when you thought you’d been overlooked, the call comes. Lucky love sings are Libra and Gemini. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 35, 27, 18 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Approach projects at full throttle. Partners love what you’ve done once they see the end result, but you’ll be hard pressed to get them to go along based on words alone. Do things by yourself, or you’ll just get frustrated.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Suffering is optional. All you have to do is ask yourself what you’d be doing if you weren’t allowed to invite emotional discomfort into your life. Existence becomes more satisfying if you can see an opportunity in every problem.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Since money can’t buy love, you’ll be wondering what all today’s negotiations are really about. Try not to be cynical, but asking the hard questions of your partner will bring up some very enlightening answers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You might decide all of the sudden that you’re simply working too hard to make money. Sales on the Internet could happen while you’re sleeping. Consider a business shift that uses technology to its fullest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The ideas that friends have about making money might be fine for them but not for you. Ethical questions arise. Career choices challenge you to the core of your being. Give a thought to your options instead of running away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve learned more from things that did not work out than you could ever discover from effortless success. You know how to stay in the good graces of difficult people and will benefit from doing so a little longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get top dollar for giving your opinion. Still, the fluctuating financial climate has you nervous. Tighten the purse strings. Extravagant friends want you to join them – if you must go, bring cash enough to pay for your share.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I was born on Nov. 20, 1958. I am an attractive divorcee, and my Internet love (a Pisces born in 1948) just told me that he is making plans to come to Singapore this summer to live with me. Even though he has severe back problems, I really do love him and wish to heal him emotionally and physically. Will all of this happen as planned? Would I be better off with someone else?"

Feelings and plans spring easily from a few words shared in cyberspace. Our imaginations fill in what we don’t’ know about people and allow us to enter into relationships that may be hard to keep alive in real life. Your chart shows that you are very secretive, and the intrigue of having a romantic interest that no one in Singapore knows is very thrilling to you. Once he appears at your door, he will be asking for a lot more than you can readily give without sacrificing your needs. He is not in a place emotionally to give you very much in return. Think of yourself first. There is someone near you who has secret feelings for you he hasn’t been able to express yet. Seek him out, and your summer will be better than you had anticipated.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Russell Crowe brings his Aries intensity to another blockbuster role this year. With Jupiter and Mars also in Aries, he’s one impassioned individual who applies white-hot enthusiasm to every project and relationship he takes on. This might have a burnout effect on less intense individuals who want a more easygoing pace. Crowe will create intrigue by dating a young, tough-girl musician.
