The Taurus sun is all about beauty, sensuality and the hard work it takes to maintain that kind of head space. It’s not just a question of dressing up – there’s the gym, the facials, the wheels to take us there, and the overtime to be able to afford it all. The Aries moon provides the energy boost needed to get through the day with a smile.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Manic outbursts of creative energy are coming from a deeply rooted need in – but who cars? Save the self-examination for another day. For now, enjoy being a powerful mover/shaker/visionary-extraordinaire!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The same cosmic energy that makes the planets spin is coursing through your body – which you’re very aware of during this morning’s sexy mood! It could cause you to work hard to attract a partner for what you’ve got in mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Home is where you do your clearest thinking now. Chats with loved ones this evening clarify issues that have been cloudy. Get involved in cooperative efforts; there’s much to be learned from talented associates.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Expecting the wrong thing will be a danger. It’s best not to expect anything at all! At work, tell people what you want, as they are willing to change. You’re gregarious in the evening. Introduce yourself to new neighbors.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Taking your cue from an Aries helps you make a strong choice and release old biases. Ethical questions are not easily resolved, although you have no trouble knowing what you think is right. In-laws lead you to an impressive gain.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 13). In this rather glamorous year, you impress the world with how effortlessly you seem to find success. There’s a buzz around you now, and you can turn your excellent word of mouth into financial deals and romantic offers before the middle of next month! Travel, publish, and make interesting new friends in August, when creativity motivates you most. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 3, 1, 40 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your ability to roll with the punches will be tested. The only thing certain is that it won’t be the way you thought. The plans will change, the message will be garbled, or the bus simply doesn’t arrive. The little things build character.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Enjoy newly acquired perks for all they’re worth. The minute you start to take these things for granted, they disappear! A frivolous attitude is sexy to someone in your realm who sees you as a big player.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Freedom means more than contentment now; exercise away restlessness. If you’re the senior member of your team, share knowledge exercise away restlessness. If you’re the senior member of your team, share knowledge to help the group. You get a feeling of satisfaction from extending your love and help.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Decisions made this morning have weight. There’s a chance to right a wrong of forge a new relationship with a client or friend. Firsthand contact with a certain luxury will have you thinking about what you can afford.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Making a difference is what it’s about. You’ll be checking out what effect you have on family, friends and the world. It’s more than you thought. If your community is experiencing problems of intolerance, push for tolerance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Bottled-up feelings cause too much pressure, and it’s not worth it – speak! A training course may be the answer to job problems – take a look at what’s offered. Tonight, passion is around you, but stay cool to gain perspective.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your work may be critically acclaimed, but you need money, too. Talk to a financially gifted Taurus. A love relationship is synchronized beautifully, boding well for future commitment. Make a sweetie laugh today.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Capricorn woman (born in 1959) who has been dating an Aries man (born in 1949). He has trouble talking about his feelings, and I wonder if our relationship is slipping away. Do we have potential, or should I let him go?"

You would be good for this man, though he may have trouble knowing who and what are good for him. He has chart emphasis in Aries (sun, Venus, Mars) and Neptune in Libra opposite this Aries grouping. He is deeply romantic and wants to rescue a fair damsel in highly melodramatic distress, which you most certainly are not! You are very strong, and he may be too self-involved to realize how sensitive and complex you are or that you need a wonderful partner and confidant. He thinks he’s a giving person, but he’s more selfish than he knows. Yours is a super-talented chart, and speaking of people who have trouble talking about their feelings, who are your kidding? True, an Aquarian moon enables you to detach emotionally and survive unhappiness, but your placements show a childhood full of pressures. Are you free of these traumas? He’s probably not up to the task of truly supporting your personal growth. Let him go!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Tony Danza could take his one-man show to off-Broadway this year, after hiring a Sagittarius or Pisces to rewrite the script and songs. An upbeat number could even get played on the radio! Danza’s Libra moon gives him the distinction of being totally liked by everyone, which is why I predict he’ll be tasked to be the executor of a will – and he never even knew the deceased!
