The prudent, patient Capricorn moon and psychic Scorpio sun gives us an edge in the business world. If you were stuck as to how to advance, make a big push today. What you seek, you’ll find. It may have been there all along, but now you’re calm enough and observant enough to get the message. Human relations don’t have to be complex.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Work makes you want to duck and cover under your desk. Love tip: There is no need to be insecure because of what seem like mounting differences. The growing tension in your relationship can be resolved in a sexy way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone is in love with you right now! All you have to do is wave your hand, and people come running. Please remember to use your powers for good and not evil – it’s tempting to toy with others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve got an interesting spin on old traditions. Tonight, loved ones are complicated. Instead of trying to understand, just be there for your special one. Don’t worry so much about upcoming events, they’ll turn out fine.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your curiosity takes you in a fascinating direction. Like Alice down the rabbit hole, you’re not sure where you’re headed, but you find a wonderland if you just keep going. This afternoon, spend some time listening to advice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re tugged in two directions. Make up your mind, move on, and let others deal with your choice in their own way. Vulnerability in your current love relationship is linked to the past. You’re a stronger person now.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 30). You’ve been on the verge of something great – this year, everything finally comes together. Loved ones make great strides toward their goals with your help in December. Love with a Cancer or Libra happens in January. You have to make a choice between two equally wonderful life paths then. You are buzzing with great energy through April. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 3, 24, 18 and 9.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Rules and regulations seem unnecessary, but you would be wise to heed them. There are definite consequences for not following procedure. This afternoon, you want to talk about every feeling you have.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). New ambition springs up this morning. You rush through tasks that dragged you down before. Loved ones feel like they can’t possibly keep up with you. At work, make newcomers feel comfortable by sharing personal anecdotes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Second chances come your way. You’re perfectly poised to give accurate answers and honest opinions this time around. Take charge at work while others are twiddling their thumbs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You set goals, and you achieve results. Be totally logical about how you plan your day and your week. The elements are in place for you to make a huge career coup if you execute your ideas with military precision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In order to make your mark, you have to aim at something. Ask fellow earth signs (Virgo and Taurus) for some direction. Phone conversations go on forever unless you let others know politely that you have to run.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If too many people are making demands of you, it’s only because they know how responsible you are. Use your famous friendly charm to get out of anything you don’t really want to do. Romance is top priority tonight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the drive to be totally truthful in all areas, and this serves you extremely well. Writing comes out fantastically because you don’t hold anything back. When your partner understands exactly what you need, you get it.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am a Gemini born June 4, 1975, and have had a strong connection with a Pisces born March 4, 1975. We dated seven years ago, and I broke it off back then. But we never seemed to sever the ties. We love one another very much, but he seems to have issues he cannot come to terms with. He hasn’t dated anyone since me, and I have tried to move on but can’t seem to. Will we ever be together again? I feel so certain he’s the one."

Your letter is a puzzle to me. If you both love one another, then what’s the issue? True lovers use the power of love to overcome war, famine and pestilence in order to be together! He’s got some Scorpio in his chart, which he draws on to be secretive about himself, but the real secret is that there is no secret. He’s got an ethereal way of speaking about life that deflects attention from the fact that he’s simply afraid to take action. And maybe he’s right. You have a tendency to glorify this relationship from a distance, but in reality, you’re not willing to put the work in to make it happen long term. Be more honest with yourself. The truth will set you free to experience real love.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gavin Rossdale is just beginning his year of independence. While I predict that his marriage to Gwen Stefani will remain strong, Rossdale’s solo music and his acting roles will make him an even bigger star. Scorpios’ air of mystery is very seductive to all of the signs. More than just a few of his fans will vouch for that, and I feel that a few more of us will join the ranks of his admirers this year.
