The Gemini moon is a pleasant influence, mixing up social vibes. It’s obvious that whatever gets done will happen through personal relationships, so we concentrate on helping friends. Bring your sense of humor to all the day’s happenings. What you would have thought was inappropriate a few days ago will absolutely win people over today.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be able to handle everything else more gracefully when your love life is settled. Couples: Getting the acceptance you need from your partner is tricky. Singles: Your next love will be someone bigger than life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In order for you to do your job right, other people have to do theirs right first. Don’t back down once you’ve stated your request. Money tip: Get in touch with everyone who has tried to reach you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Adventure calls, and you’re brave enough to answer. Once financial matters are settled, there’s nothing stopping you from exploring unknown territory. Those looking for a kindred soul find one. Capricorn and Virgo are favored.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Solve the problem standing between you and the money you deserve. Your body speaks your mind, letting everyone around you know how you really feel about a situation. Know what you are projecting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The impulse is to do what your parents did before you, which was perfect for them, not for you. Love is growing, and some of you will be discussing marriage in a roundabout way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 22). You are engulfed in the things you enjoy the most! This month, a group of intelligent people will help you bridge the gap you’ve been trying to overcome for years now. Going to the next level in work will be a huge source of pride for you – expect to be celebrating in November. A love relationship reaches a point of decision in December. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 20, 1, 48 and 35.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Withdraw your opinion or your presence from the hub of the activity. Don’t even worry about what goes on without you. Others involved in the scenario need to feel what it’s like without you before they understand your contribution.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). The unexpected is featured. It’s impossible to have normalcy under the circumstances. Sometimes, normalcy shouldn’t be had. The shake-up produces alternative ways of thinking. Communication lines are open tonight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Messages are everywhere. Watch and listen – then, they won’t have to bonk you over the head. Be careful not to fall in love with someone for his or her potential, or take a job because of what it could become.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make sure friends know that you appreciate them for their individual strengths. Nobody is better than anybody else, just different. Tonight, you’re the boss. Don’t give away that title.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone else’s victory is a sign that yours is soon to follow. The romance department shines with prospects you’re excited about for a change. An e-mail flirtation gets your fantasy world reeling, which is great for creativity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When the responsibility lies squarely on your shoulders, you don’t stand around waiting for someone else to take it from you. You head up the mountain. Spur your associates and friends on with encouraging words.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Listening to different points of view has value beyond the current situation. Someone new may join you for lunch. Reaching out earns you personality points. Someone sexy is watching when you don’t know it.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a Capricorn born Jan. 16, 1969. My former girlfriend was an angel, and I really messed up in our relationship. From the first time I saw her, I knew she was the one for me. But I let it all go wrong, and now, she has made it clear that she doesn’t love me anymore. She’s getting married to someone else. I’m about to give up on everything."

You have many very complicated and emotional aspects that give you a marvelous depth of feeling and a superior sense of contribution to your fellow man. The latter is what you must concentrate on now – connecting with people who need and respect you. There are plenty of those folks around you if you look. You can heal through helping others and turn this emotional crisis into the best thing that ever happened to you. There will be a charitable opportunity this week that turns into a project that will transform your life. New love is met in January, when you are feeling better. Reflect on what you could have done differently in this relationship so you don’t repeat past mistakes with this new person.
