With the moon in Capricorn, proper respect is paid to dad for all he’s done through the years and the person he is. Capricorn pays homage to tradition, so the time-honored favorites – such as a tie or apple pie – will be much appreciated. With the sun transiting through Gemini, affection is shown in a friendly manner.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What seemed hopeless suddenly takes a turn for the better. Stop saving your best ideas, and start using them. You won’t be sorry if you spend a couple extra hours proofreading or revising a project.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Give yourself permission to do what you feel like doing. Romance with someone in your career field helps you focus on your goals. Leo contacts are wonderful listeners, so air your feelings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Intuitively, you’re in the right place at the right time. Behind-the-scenes power is more potent than outward influence. Try the ideas of a young person. A loved one mistakes your friendliness with someone new for flirting.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The simple act of reaching out will change your life. Your parent’s experience opens the door to talk about your own problems. There is luck in pairs. Channel passion appropriately.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Let the chips fall as they may, and you’re bound to end up in the desired place. Changes in the home are necessary to sustain harmony. Let a younger person hear your approval. Share your feelings.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 22). Rewards are better than anticipated when you stick to the goal. This morning brings renewal of energy as well as funds. Your romantic life flourishes with a few minor changes. July brings fantastic luck for interviews and raises. Let others lead in September, but only until you feel confident enough to take the reins. Your best love signs are Libra and Virgo. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 51, 17 and 9.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have fresh insight and contagious energy. Of course, you know better than to make jokes at the expense of others, but this a reminder. You might finally meet with your Internet pal!

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). There are monetary limits on fun, but this should only be an incentive to the creative imagination. A thoughtful home life is a rich expression of love. Ignore one who tries to compete with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may seem glamorous from the outside, but be glad you’re not in a friend’s position. Family members need room to make their own mistakes. Aquarian friends are lucky – you could even fall in love with one!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Appealing to the best in others results in lasting benefits. Career, property and possessions occupy you, but don’t let them run your life. Family members come to you for what they need. Be considerate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). An enchanting new love interest puts an old affair out of your mind. If you manage not to get embroiled in social politics, you’ll have a blast at a gathering this afternoon. A quiet evening allows you to catch up on correspondence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you must work over the weekend, at least keep a careful record of your hours. A mentor or love interest introduces you to VIPs; just be yourself, and you make a terrific impression. Sports are enormously inspirational.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a fireball, but be careful – your ego’s ablaze, too. It’s best to avoid confrontation. Sensitive areas include money and joint resources. You can combat fear by learning more about what you are afraid of.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: In the last week of the sun’s transit through Gemini, the focus will be on seeing all those folks you meant to see earlier in the week, but times does fly, doesn’t it? Lighthearted friendships have definite appeal, and a lot of talk goes around about all the fun things you "should" do together but of course never will. Take it as a sign of affection. It’s easy to like people but hard to find time to do things with all the people you like. Only the ones with whom you have the most in common will get your quality time. Mars enters Pisces on Monday, stirring up passions within – not just for people but for projects you feel you were meant to complete. You were! Go for it! Don’t let it drag out, though. The next two months have the most charge in them for making things happen in your career. As long as your ethics are in line, you should have terrific luck for finally getting into something that utilizes your talent. Saturday marks the Summer Solstice, a magical time to firm up your plans with everyone on your team.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Anne Heche, like many Gemini women, can be gentle, kindhearted and fickle in love. The twins have a dual nature, both of them very charming but often wanting opposite things. Now with her son, Homer, Heche has learned to listen more to the logic that her sun sign gives her and rounds out the year with a calculated and stunning performance in a thriller that will be the highlight of her career.
