February 5, 2004

Some people get irritated at all of the attention mugging that goes on during the Leo moon. It’s true that sensible types get more than their share of drama and feel forced to participate, though they know that they’ll feel the fool when comes the chance to see this day in retrospect. Still, there’s no way to stay completely out of it. So lighten up.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’re ready to take a risk – you have little to lose and your happiness to gain. Don’t do what you think you should do instead of what you love. Let nothing pull you off track from what you are genuinely attracted to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Spontaneous decisions are lucky. Abandon old projects for something fresh. Your career flourishes with the influx of beginner’s luck. Personal life is the focus tonight. Stop catering to friends who are low in appreciation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You aim to hit the target dead on, so even if you revel in the journey, you are nonetheless moving forward with alarming speed. The arrival of a relative or friend provides a refreshing, new perspective on life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Stressed? The stars encourage you to find ways to make things easier on yourself. You have the power to change what you don’t like, and there is no excuse not to. Those who start bold and new get plenty of support.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Make a silent agreement to be a willing student, and then, relax, and let the world reveal its lessons. Regarding career, the right person for the job is you. All you need is a chance. Try and remember why you ever left the situation.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (February 5).
It’s an anything-can-happen type of year for you, and the surprises start this month. Where others don’t dare go, you just say "yes" and dive right in. The more you see, the more you can open your heart to accepting the love that comes at you in abundance. June and August are especially fabulous, as are the signs of Sagittarius and Aries. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 24, 1, 55 and 19.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
System and order will be hard to maintain in this day of revolution-like activity – unsettling for someone as organized as you, but don’t resist, as it’s a waste of energy. Everyone has a bout of bad behavior now and then.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
If you want to be a good friend, be available to listen, but don’t ask questions. If you want to attract romance, be mysteriously unavailable. Continue personal artistic endeavors, as they are important to progress in other areas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
It all depends on how you want to be. You’ll achieve subtle gains through subtle moves – outstanding gains through remarkable moves. The biggest thing standing between you and a fortune is a thought.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Look around you to see how your ambitions fit into the big picture. Helping someone powerful will in turn have a strong effect on advancing your own goals. The relationship of money to romance is a focus.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Simple things like a walk in the park are better than anything that can be bought. Educational and career possibilities are numerous and quite confusing, too. Sort through it all; you’ll make something of the mess.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Love is crazy. One look can change everything. Take a risk you would not have taken yesterday. At work, you could help someone save face, which will be remembered. A struggle leads to clarity about what you really want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Your special project may be close to your heart, but others have never even heard of it. Use your public profile to help get your message out. Funding arrives just in time for something you want to do.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:
"I think I’ve met my prince, after never being married or even close to anyone special. How can I be sure? I have no good relationships to compare this to, though I think it feels right. His birthday is Dec. 31, 1947, and mine is Sept. 19, 1948."

Sun signs Virgo and Capricorn are famous for losing their well-known cool over each other. Your lunar sympathies are compatible, as you both have moon in the fire sign Aries. I suspect you’ve spent much more energy on creating a career than on nurturing love in your life, so you doubt your ability to attract someone who can enhance your emotional world. This man is deeply in need of your Mars in Scorpio ability to help him tap deep reservoirs of affection that he hides in order to protect his fragile image of himself as the lover. His Mars in Capricorn next to his sun has enough energy to keep up with your non-stop Virgo fussing, and the remarkable connections between those two charts don’t end there. You’ll travel, and you’ll never lack for conversation as long as you’re together. On paper, it looks like smooth sailing into the sunset!

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Jennifer Jason Leigh used her power as an actress to become an independent filmmaker. Her film "The Anniversary Party" was a digital film that utilized cutting edge technology – extremely lucky for Aquarius. As the sign of the future and new ideas, Aquarius attracts help from those rare individuals who always seem to know everything about a new technology the day after it comes out!
