Action isn’t so difficult to take once you make the first move. With momentum on our side, incredible strides can be made rather quickly – so much so that there’s no time to alert the people who might be affected. Today, the moon enters communication specialist Gemini, which helps make that late announcement easier and better received.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Indecision in a relationship prolongs your discomfort. Make a commitment; it’s exciting! Nostalgic dreams remind you what you wanted way back when. Children’s activities are fun for all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The mystery surrounding romantic love and enchantment will puzzle. What is certain is that love isn’t tangible and cannot be bottled and sold, yet you feel the magic in an undeniable way tonight. Express yourself freely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Minimal effort is needed on your part to make money. Lucky you! Teach others your success. Confidence is the winning ingredient. Tonight, someone who’s always been "cool" shows vulnerability. This is a sign you’ve won.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your fear of commitment may come into play, but don’t fret. You’re not running from being loved, only from being boxed in. The longer a relationship has to grow and mature, the stronger the bonds of emotional attachment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Improved family relations set you free of old restrictions. Parents reignite romantic sparks because children’s needs bring them together. You’ll enjoy good health, so exert yourself to expand the limits of your strength.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 14). This will be a year of accomplishment! In the next six weeks, it is particularly easy for you to follow your own ideas to completion. It’s a matter of molding your vision into something that is useful to everyone. Market research is less costly in February. Accept love’s gracious gift in early spring – a tender Virgo or Scorpio will rock your world. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 12, 47, 30 and 16.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Nobody else can define you. It’s what you think of you that matters. Be lenient with those who make stupid mistakes. Run the figures for the thing you’ve been wanting to buy. You can get it sooner than you thought.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you feel obligated to return someone’s love, your instinct is to turn away instead. Fight it. When you go forward to embrace this persistent and needy soul, he or she will back off, giving you breathing room.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Words are cheap. Consistently prove your love with actions. Also, take your time with a developing friendship, just as you do with a developing love. A shopping trip leaves you empty-handed, but later, you are thankful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t fret about what to do next. Choices are opportunities, and recent romantic changes are a chance to move on from the past. Romantic note: The one you want is waiting for you to call.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Allow a loved one to get personal sentiments out in the open, and be completely accepting of them. For now, bonds that last are built over months and years, not hours and days.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may seem that the one you want doesn’t wish to be won over, at least not by you. Don’t be fooled by such deceptive appearances. He or she is playing hard to get. A Scorpio has a money trip worth following.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The best moneymaking ideas now are collaborations. Your willingness to learn makes those with something to teach very excited to gift you with their knowledge. Loved ones also feel encouraged to rely on you.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The moon slips into Gemini and on Monday shows its full glory. Much is released when the moon ripens, and in Gemini, the liberation comes in an intellectual form. Whether it’s new tidbits of information that helps us understand our lives better or finally having the right words to describe a notion that’s been indefinable for months, Gemini provides just the missing piece. Also, tensions that have been building find resolution on Monday. On Wednesday, the sun and Jupiter duke it out in the conference room and come to a conclusion, too. If you take action, the universe will help you big time – not just a little – to really let you know what you’re in for. Thursday features a lucky aspect involving love planet Venus and fat cat Jupiter. Flirting goes out of control, and your intentions will be in question. Is this fun or a serious thing? The lines are deliciously blurred. At the end of the week, Pluto transits bring this question to a more deliberate tone, and those who aren’t inclined to answer straight will be called on the carpet. Saturday, the moon in fun-loving Leo urges us to strike up the band and shake it up!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Daryl Hannah added "provocateur" to her list of on-camera personalities as her sexy spread in Playboy caused an industry stir. Will this hurt her credibility as an actress? Quite the opposite, as this adventurous Sagittarius probably sees this pinup adventure as just another role. Sagittarius people are thrill seekers who might ask, "Why pose in a bathing suit when you could pose in your birthday suit?"
