The full moon in Scorpio is a wild ride! There’s a release that speaks to us on all kinds of levels, especially physically, spiritually and emotionally. Howl at the moon! Many folks will be tempted to stay out late and call in sick in the morning. Bosses, beware: There’s be a lot of fake phone calls to contend with – unless you blow off work, too!

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Create a work environment that motivates you to achieve more. You are completely in tune with how much potential you have even though others are not, and key changes help them realize it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Try using the word "impossible" a little more sparingly. If you deliberately set roadblocks up for yourself, you’ll never get anywhere. Your musical taste and ability are outstanding. Music helps frayed nerves get back into the groove.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Leaps of faith sometimes require you to stay in one place. Take a hold of yourself, and trust the commitments you have made. Your willingness to do gives power to a relationship that needed an energy infusion.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give a look to that relationship that fills you up with everything but love. Today is ripe for romantic change, and when you voice your concerns, the result is surprising. You make progress with tings legal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep your eyes on a business partners who isn’t really spending enough time on the job. Use his or her behavior to gauge how far you want to take this deal forward. A Gemini friend needs advice.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 29). Your life is being reshaped by a masterful hand: Your own! This month is about keeping your balance while afloat on changing seas. You hold a financial advantage in June. Romance starts slow and builds through the summer. Singles have sweet dates with Virgos or Libras. A Capricorn love could get serous fast. Some marry in October. Your lucky numbers are: 33, 11, 4, 18 and 20.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Yes, it’s easy for you to see the heart of the matter. But looking at things on a superficial level, just for today, benefits your overused analytical ability. You have fund times with a Taurus or Sagittarius this evening.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Your brain just does not want to change the channel. Instead of tuning in on a persistent problem, jam the frequency with distractions. Community service gets your mind off your troubles for at least the evening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Instead of assigning hard and fast labels to people you’re less than pleased with, get the bottom of what has been making them behave this way. Their crabbiness is circumstantial, and recognizing this saves the relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It takes a lot of energy to describe your creative dreams before you actually realize them, and listeners are not as enthused as you’d like. Execute your project with gusto. A relationships with a Pisces take a good turn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Convoluted situations that include a lot of unpleasantness and work for you will totally unravel without your having to lift a finger! Sometimes, it pays to neglect the bad and focus on the good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Quit taking yourself so seriously! It feels like you’re the only one who’s ever felt this alone. Au contraire, water bearer. A kindred spirit appears to help listen and brighten your approach to life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re spending an inordinate amount of time trying to be perfect. All you need to do is to be yourself. The map before you is entirely different than the one you started on earlier this year. Someone is looking out for you.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m very concerned for my brother, who has bee under tremendous stress lately. His health seems to be giving out. Is there any relief for him in sight? He was born March 8, 1942."

Your brother is a Pisces with his moon in Sagittarius. He is inclined to overextend himself, mainly in order to please others. I see aspects in his chart indicating that he identifies greatly with is job. In fact, his work was something of an escape for him until his chart was aspected in a way that raised the stakes and maybe started causing a little too much stress back in February. The real challenge for you in this situation is getting your brother to realize that he’s got to have balance in his life in order to be able to take these intense periods that the job he loves demands. Help him plan a vacation, or encourage him to pursue a relaxing hobby such as golf, or, as his chart indicates, bird watching, collecting valuables or dancing. Somehow, he must also see that others will continue to love him even when he stops being a workaholic "beast of burden," so to speak.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: George Carlin hosted the first episode of "Saturday Night Live" in 1975, and I predict that this year he’ll host the first episode of a new sketch comedy show. He will also play Ben Affleck’s father in a new comedy by Kevin Smith. Taurus men get new ideas and energy from working with a younger generation of talents, but the most enriched are the young people who get to work with Taurus masters.
