You are closer to a goal than you realize. It’s all about meeting the right people, which is easier with Venus transiting through Libra. Make sure to get out of the house! The Cancer moon lures you into a comfortable cocoon at home, but that’s not where the action is. Emotions are linked to psychic information. If it feels right, it probably is.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are new ways to make money – you have a knack for meeting the right people and asking the right questions. Your love life doesn’t have to hang over you. Forget past mistakes; loves are ready to make amends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just when you think there’s no way you’ll attract the one you’ve got your eye on, events line up to give you a glimmer of hope. However, don’t allow your single-minded focus to limit you from other possibilities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your devil-may-care attitude causes an interesting chain of events. You’ll have a powerful connection with someone this afternoon. People expect you to entertain them – the outrageousness of your point of view will amuse.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Think about what you’d like to accomplish today, next week and in 10 years. At work, once you find the culprit and eliminate the problem, you can focus on production. Until then, all efforts are futile.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one else is like you. Relax. Engage in loving and supportive acts because you really want to and not out of a sense of duty or because you are afraid of losing someone.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (September 19). You’re second to none this year! Your creative ideas are just right for the market in October, so strike while the iron is hot. You share your true self with others in November without even intending to do so. The results are phenomenal – Leo and Pisces really respond to who you are at the core. In April, an Aries associate is your ace in the hole. Your lucky numbers are: 54, 17, 28, 48 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today teaches you what you are certain about and what you are uncertain about. It’s incredibly valuable information, since confidence will make the difference between having and not having what you want.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Just because you don’t see progress right away, it’s no reason to grant yourself permission to stop trying. Platonic friendships are emphasized – you’ll be glad that you kept someone as a friend instead of a love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s hard to admit that you don’t control all of what’s going on today, but you simply don’t. Give up trying, and you’ll have a blast with the wacky events in the early part of the day. Shopping trips are favored.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Misunderstandings abound, so take the time to review and make sure everyone is on the same page. It’s better to go over old ground than to move forward without a comprehensive knowledge of your collective game plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Mixed feelings could cause you to go emotionally flat. Ignore annoying questions and prodding. Your way will work for you if you’re given the time and space to work through it. Tonight, take a nice long bath.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a challenge to stay focused when people around you seem only to care about the fun weekend ahead. You wisely realize that anything you don’t finish today will be waiting for you, with new urgency, on Monday.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are extra perks that go along with your job, and you deserve every one. Enjoy what’s coming to you. This is a lucky day to handle finances. Get new savings and insurance plans happening.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: The lunar transit goes from Cancer to Leo. If you start the weekend feeling a little touchy, you’ll toughen up by Sunday. Don’t go to extremes, even though you’ll feel it’s appropriate. ARIES: Get back to reality. Don’t let romantic myths cloud your view of a current liaison. TAURUS: Stop trying to be popular, and do what your heart dictates instead. GEMINI: Volunteer work leads to luck and love. CANCER: Analyzing the past isn’t as helpful as making a plan for the future. LEO: You and a sweetie would make an excellent sales team. If you decide to mix a business endeavor in with the romance, it only serves to strengthen your bond. VIRGO: Your self-image is defined, and it’s easy for others to understand and remember you. LIBRA: Exercise – you are looking hot! SCORPIO: Taking short breaks from your sweetie keeps love fresh and helps you get perspective. SAGITTARIUS: A style update gets you feeling sexy again. CAPRICORN: Rushing around is futile. An easier pace helps you attract more love. AQUARIUS: Though you prefer romance to be easy, your partner likes the fireworks. PISCES: Let new people prove they are trustworthy before you assume this.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Gemini and Taurus see eye to eye on many topics. However, Gemini’s fast pace makes steady Taurus a bit nervous. Taurus tries to make Gemini stop and appreciate the flowers while Gemini is busy filling up the couple’s schedule. How can both be satisfied? By setting a routine of meeting on certain days for a decided amount of time but doing something different with those hours each time.
