A cycle of exploration is winding down as the sun waves goodbye to friendly Sagittarius. The past month has tossed many a fascination into our path, lending a broader view of the world. The next few weeks will be about choosing one or two prime targets to concentrate on. Pick a focus that will do the most good in your world.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Helping friends is part of the agenda, and you have a blast doing it. Sales bring financial payoffs. Your best leads come when you’re having a good time. Tonight, you’ll have an impromptu date you’ll talk about for years to come.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do what’s necessary to create more love in your life. This might include working less, playing more and making yourself more available to interested people. Being tolerant of others helps you feel happier more of the time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Think big – small things affect small minds. Work feels about over by noon – if you can get away with it, leave early. You are attracted to a very enthusiastic someone. Match his or her energy, and you make a terrific impression.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). One way to make life a lot easier is to follow directions exactly. Romance is restored in mature relationships; singles find new ways to break the ice, especially with an amorous Gemini or Scorpio. Music fills the evening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The world is a better place because you make an effort to bridge the generation or culture gap. There’s a creative way to turn a recent setback to your advantage. Think it over this weekend. An Aquarius helps you find solutions.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 6). You are in charge. Romance and surprises come all through the year. The next seven weeks are the most romantic and creative: Marry, have a baby, or write a book! Enjoy good luck brought to you through past loyalties in July and August. Social contacts met now will be used in July, when business plans come together. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 22, 10 and 30.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Write, speak up, and let your feelings be known. A well-chosen circle of close friends makes everything feel right. Concentrate energy on those who have a stabilizing effect on you. Avoid playing games.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). If there was confusion in the past about whether or not an attraction was mutual, the answer is now unmistakable. Friends and siblings try to compete with you. Break your own records, and don’t worry about anyone else’s.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Being a fan is lucky and valuable to the one you are a fan of. Thoughtful individuals have an easier time finding romantic partners who are the same. Many mutually advantageous relationships begin tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Get to know someone you admire, even if you think you have little to offer this person. You’ll feel compelled to uncover a secret, no matter who you have to bother. Don’t worry, if you’re supposed to know it, you will.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All forward movement is good, though it won’t seem that way at first. Your personal life cleans up when messy relationships and unsatisfying jobs are let go. Your leadership position in a group attracts dream love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Keep your eye on the target, and don’t doubt yourself. Help with a health or financial problem is on the way. Areas where you were stalled last year start to break up. Tedious effort at work is worth it in the end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Choose companions carefully – you’re like a sponge today. Sometimes, a moody friend is merely moody, and there is nothing any more interesting about it. Tonight, you see the admiration in someone’s eyes.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Sure, the glow of the holiday season feels warm and lovely, but the sun going into Capricorn has a pragmatic side, too. Take personal stock, or look at your love life from a purely selfish standpoint. Ignored feelings surface as a force to be reckoned with. ARIES: You’ll have to retreat if you want someone else to reach. TAURUS: Your charm is out of control tonight. People around you can’t get enough. GEMINI: You’ll win someone’s heart on the dance floor. CANCER: You don’t like playing in games in love, but in fact, you’re a sexy and skillful opponent! LEO: There’s no such thing as giving too much – but work on receiving, too. VIRGO: Social grace is admired. Don’t wait to be asked out; do the asking. LIBRA: Gift exchanges delight you, as someone shows how well he or she knows you with an excellent choice. SCORPIO: Take it slow, hold hands, and savor the sweet, small gestures of love. SAGITTARIUS: Do what never occurred to you to do before. CAPRICORN: If you know exactly what you want, you’ll get it. AQUARIUS: Blessings are disguised. Be open to seeing it another way. PISCES: You’ve got a date with a hot prospect.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: It’s not difficult to see why Capricorn and Sagittarius get along so well. As neighbors on the zodiac’s wheel, they have a similar attitude and intensity but go about things in a strikingly opposite way. Sagittarius helps Capricorn see there’s more variety out there than can ever be experienced in one lifetime. Capricorn helps Sagittarius focus on succeeding at one thing at a time.
