June 11, 2004

We’re trying to wrap up work and enter the weekend, but the moon void of course seems to drag things out. This evening, the moon enters Libra, which usually would drive us into the arms of loved ones, but with Venus retrograde, it focuses more on the sort of "Greatest Love of All" Whitney Houston once sang about, the one found "inside of me."

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The reason you’ll win is simple. You know how to touch others emotionally, which is a greater gift than any amount of money could buy. Unexpected travel is highlighted. If a friend has been treated unfairly, take a stand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If someone is on the down low, you figure it out because you are aware, observing what makes people tick. Before you go to bed tonight, remember to forgive the one person who needs it the most – possibly yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Atmosphere affects your mood. Put thought into creating your surroundings. Business affairs go swimmingly, which helps your personal life, too. You can multiply your dollars through buying and selling, media and advertising.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Check out the local scene – get to know your community resources. Chances are that what you need most to get business on track is listed in the yellow pages. Your dreams will be beautiful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). New ideas are flying in from all over the world – you’re an open vessel, ready for the next big thing. Consider getting corporate sponsors for your project. Tonight cements a romantic bond. An old relationship turns over a new leaf.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 11). You have renewed courage and will face challenging situations with heart – that’s what makes you incredibly lucky in your personal life! You tie it all together this summer, applying past lessons to your present relationships. Love with a Scorpio or Pisces is magical. Investments pay off starting with a small windfall in November. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 45, 39, 1 and 39.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve got style. Steer clear of narrow-minded people. Watching your diet makes a difference in how sexy you feel tonight. You can take back the control in a relationship by accepting responsibility when appropriate.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Bad behavior is part of the equation, and your temper, as mellow as it usually is, will flair! Is it any consolation to know that this outburst happened because you make others feel so comfortable?

SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.21). The success of an enterprise is vital to your self-esteem. It’s worth figuring out how to reach a compromise that benefits everyone involved. You are dealing with conservative views. A Virgo helps you sort it out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21). Someone intoxicating lights up your universe. That’s why you should take extra time getting ready before leaving the house. Old possessions break down – the excuse you needed to make a change!

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19). Positive things flow from an orderly environment. Little details fall into place, and coincidences work out splendidly. There’s room for gradual progress in a tough work relationship. Don’t push your agenda all at once.

AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.18). Just because you’re qualified to do certain work doesn’t mean it’s the best use of your talent. Do

what makes you shine. Dates are better when you invite friends along – sexy people around you add to your intrigue.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Talk over educational possibilities with someone who knows. Remember the old adage: Water goes to its own level. Pick your company carefully. Release your energy on a project that improves your household.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: The Libra moon at the top of the weekend favors couples experiencing an easy, breezy connection, and by Memorial Day, the moon has crossed into sexy Scorpio’s realm. ARIES: Explosive situations lead to a relationship overhaul. TAURUS: Making a connection requires risking your ego. GEMINI: Setting limits in a relationship helps you relax, although when it comes down to it, you’ll do anything for the one you love. CANCER: Old baggage could get in the way, so don’t let it. LEO: Some of you are on the verge of obsession – at least you’re in touch with your passionate side. VIRGO: Knowing how to please a sweetheart is key. LIBRA: It’s your time to shine, and you’ll have your pick of eligible partners. SCORPIO: You’re getting more attention than usual, so don’t let it go to your head! SAGITTARIUS: Take it slow. Love that unfolds gracefully will be memorable. CAPRICORN: Inner yearnings are realized when you are honest with yourself. AQUARIUS: Keep a cool head when loved ones push your buttons – and they will! PISCES: A loved one sees you differently than you see yourself, and because of this, you find out who you are on a whole new level.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Libra and Scorpio help each other in so many ways, it’s easy to see why they feel like making a deeper commitment this weekend. Scorpio is so emotionally diverse that sometimes the practical steps necessary to attain a goal can be elusive. Libra helps create a workable plan. In return, Scorpio helps Libra get in touch with deep feelings. Together, they’ll get closer their goals than they could apart.
