For the Week of Sunday, November 29, 2009

This week brings the fun-time full moon in Gemini. The moon is bright and awake in Gemini, and she chatters away about all the most interesting happenings of the times. Information that has been secret, communication that has been difficult or daily proceedings that have been on hold will finally get the green light. Uranus goes direct in Pisces, too. If you feel something has kept you from your destiny, the barrier will be lifted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are someone who gets things done -- and not through fear or intimidation. Rather, people respect your high standards and want you to be pleased. This week you will turn in work that is consistent with the impressive trend you've established. Your friends will want to tap into your talents on Saturday.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A champion of the underdog, you will go out of your way to help someone you perceive to be less fortunate, even to the point of overexerting yourself. In the end you might decide that this person actually has more than you, but that's not the point. For you, generosity is its own reward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week you'll take action that will surprise your colleagues and cohorts and perhaps even yourself. You've fantasized about making this rebellious move, and it's as though a secret part of your character took over to make it all happen in real time. Consider giving this alter ego of yours a zesty nickname!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even though you might check your phone messages, mailbox and e-mail just a little too much this week, it's only because you're so interested in the people in your life. You love interaction. And, thankfully, people love interacting with you. Thursday, a gesture of affection creates ripples beyond the act itself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Certain relationships come so easily to you that they take no work whatsoever to maintain. You'll also be dealing with more difficult connections this week and will have to look harder to see the merit in them. The exercise will be well worth the effort. If you can see beauty in everything, you'll always be surrounded by beauty.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will create outstanding fortune by giving your best to whatever you've got going on. You will honor your various responsibilities by giving your all. If you are a mother, you'll be an outstanding one. If you are a poet, you will be profound and resonant. If you are a car salesman, you'll sell solid vehicles for a fair price.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There will be a change in your heart. You don't feel the same about a certain someone. Perhaps you were projecting an image onto that person that is different from who he or she really is. This doesn't have to ruin your relationship. Stay open-minded. You will also enjoy this new state of being if you give it a chance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won't be inclined to color between the lines. You'll mix it up and keep it fresh. Maybe you'll stay up super-late, eat pancakes for dinner and forgo the news to watch a silly movie. Maybe you'll take a personal day from work to embark on a spontaneous day trip. Living outside the norm will lead to outstanding luck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If this week had a consistent musical beat, it would be Reggae -- earthy and easy with a basic happy groove. You'll be content for the most part. Sure, there are changes you could make, but they aren't urgent. People envy your ability to enjoy your life without stressing too much about it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's important to surround yourself with energetic people. You can't always be the one pushing the others up a hill. Sometimes you need to be pushed yourself. This week you'll do a little pushing and a little pulling, and by Saturday you'll make it to the top where the view is stellar.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don't keep track of people's faults. You tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. And even then you assume the best. You will use your natural tendency toward optimism to help two opposing parties come to an agreement. It is well within your power to heal the damaged relationship.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're so socially conscious -- a wonderful way to be, as long as you don't take on unnecessary grief. Assume that your words and actions are just fine unless people tell you otherwise. Also, accept kindness at face value without imagining what people expect of you in return. Graciousness means staying lighthearted.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You go into this new era of your life full of determination. You will get more accomplished in the next 10 weeks than some people do in 10 years. The key is to focus on your No. 1 priority and be relentless in its pursuit. To heal a relationship will be a worthy cause and will open up other areas of your life. A new friend comes into the picture in February. You'll do well with a March investment. June brings family together. You'll rally for a team and win in August.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: Refuse to give your attention to the small things that upset you. A sweetie admires your winning attitude. TAURUS: You'll try not to do the thing that your loved one dislikes. Still, you have to be yourself. GEMINI: Your ability to look at the big picture will be very attractive to someone who has trouble doing that. CANCER: Though you have your own life to deal with, when your dear ones express themselves, make it evident that you are listening. LEO: Things are easing into a new groove. It's not necessary to push it along. VIRGO: With commitment comes comfort. But don't get too familiar now, or romance goes out the window. LIBRA: Be on your best behavior around your loved one's friends and family. SCORPIO: Togetherness with a mate is a want, not a need. It's your autonomy that allows you to be more loving. SAGITTARIUS: You'll make a stellar impression -- one that has staying power. CAPRICORN: Loaning money is not a good idea now. Either make your donation a gift, or just say "no." AQUARIUS: Let others know where they stand with you. PISCES: Your relationship is as strong as your communication. Express yourself clearly and kindly.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius and Libra are two sophisticated individuals who will enjoy sharing their knowledge in many forms. The exchange of stories, information, recipes, contacts and insider tips will bring these two closer. Both have refined taste and an open mind. Both enjoy learning and seek new experiences daily. The only challenge in their relationship these days is finding time for one another!

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: Falling in love isn't hard, but continuing to build a relationship takes work. That's work you're willing to do. TAURUS: You love a mystery, but when it comes to knowing what a loved one wants for you, it would be nice if he or she would just tell you. GEMINI: If someone seems to be pulling away, seize the opportunity. This is your cue to indulge in some much needed pampering and alone time. You deserve it. CANCER: A few small changes put your love life back on track. LEO: Invest in high-quality entertainment and fun. VIRGO: Believe in yourself and your ability to attract just the kind of person and situation you need right now. LIBRA: Commit yourself to finding once again the kind of love you had in the beginning. SCORPIO: Your special paramour will be entranced by your cooking. SAGITTARIUS: Take a look at the feng shui of your bedroom. CAPRICORN: Sometimes romance feels like something that's happening to you when actually you're the one making it happen. AQUARIUS: You connect deeply with the person you've felt out of touch with lately. PISCES: You don't know when to quit, and because of this you get what you want.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Virgo find some common ground this weekend. Scorpio admires Virgo's work ethic and tendency to stay on an ethical path. Scorpio thinks of Virgo as a good influence and wants to be worthy of Virgo's attention. Virgo likes Scorpio's honesty and is extremely attracted to the humor and passion that Scorpio adds to every situation. These two are in for a memorable weekend.

For the Week of Sunday, November 15, 2009

The communication planet, Mercury, enters the adventurous, worldly station of Sagittarius at the start of the week. This combined with the new moon on Monday opens our minds and hearts to different cultures and ways of being. We'll be emboldened to try things. You might be inspired to cook differently, learn a language or talk to someone you usually wouldn't feel comfortable approaching. Life is rich because of its diversity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Stadium lights are magnificent precisely because of the darkness that surrounds them. If you find yourself in bleak circumstances, consider it your moment to shine. You don't do anyone any good by blending into the shadows. Be bold and bright, especially on Friday when your talent will attract the perfect venue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are in the mood to live a bit on the edge -- it's more interesting to you. Strike up conversations with strangers. Start with the weather, and then see if you can get a little backstory. You'll be surprised at how much people will tell you with very little provocation. And the perspective these interactions lend is priceless.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may attract an unsolicited opinion or two about your work, recent deeds or personal presentation. You won't be able to convince others of your rightness by defending yourself. Instead, work in spite of their comments, and they will eventually yield to you. By the end of the week, criticism turns into compliments.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some believe it's bad luck to state your good luck, as though by saying it aloud the things you are grateful for will be taken away from you. It's a cynical view, and you're in just the mood to prove it wrong this week as you count the many ways in which you are prosperous and watch them multiply as you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be in touch with your own audacity this week. You know what you want to do and commit your whole self to it. If your heart were a sound, it would be a trombone scooping a bold tone out of the air, in a Dixieland jazz band, in New Orleans, on Mardi Gras, surrounded by wild cheers and laughter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There will be more than the usual amount of vacillation, procrastination and generally nonproductive activity. This is your chance to take control of the situation. You're a natural-born leader. And when you start to doubt yourself, as all great leaders will, just remember that your plan is as good as anyone's.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're not into being big and obvious this week. You want to be around people who "get it" and don't need things spelled out for them. If you were a tree, you wouldn't be a giant sequoia. You'd be a stalk of bamboo, gently waving in the wind, quietly inspiring the painters and poets in your midst.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A few years back, you had a decision to make. You chose the less-traveled path, even though you knew you would be less sheltered in your travels. You got rained on a little more, but the exhilaration of finding your own way was worth it. Continue on your path with the courage of your convictions. It's still right for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tighten up your schedule. It's extremely beneficial to you to be prompt, or even early, all this week. Know when you need to start getting ready for the important events like meals, meetings, travel and bedtime. Your ability to show up organized, well-dressed and cheerful will advance your purposes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All work and no play makes ... you rich. It's your week to seriously get down to business. So what if you're behind on celebrity gossip or the latest silly trend that nobody will even remember three years from now? Later, when you're really raking in the bucks, you can pay someone to keep you "hip."

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People will let you take on way too much responsibility if you ask for it. Don't ask for it. Resist the tendency to be a martyr. You will be making a sacrifice or two along the way, but there's no reason you should turn this into a lifestyle. Besides, there are plenty of ways to have fun and get your work done, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to get as many people as possible involved in your goals and dreams, though the one person who really must be highly committed is you. Make your list of tasks, and get down to it. Your vision is honed as you go. Others will contribute their energy and resources when the whole thing is already in motion.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You launch into this exciting new year with the strength of your convictions. Whatever has happened in the past to make you doubt yourself is now a moot point. You realize how many correct choices you have made in spite of your obstacles, and you repeat those successful actions. This month, a financial resource opens to assist your journey. January brings a chance to brush up on skills and update your education. What occurs in April will deepen a love relationship.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: Note that whatever style a person uses when relating to you he or she will likely also use when relating to others. TAURUS: Pursue your interests, even when the one you like doesn't share them. GEMINI: You'll be magnificently attractive when you highlight your so-called "flaw." CANCER: You deserve to be around people who "get" you. Seek them. LEO: A relationship will feel like young love, no matter what your age is. VIRGO: Don't shy away from a potential partner just because this person has had a bad marriage or a hard time with relationships. You'll look terrific by comparison. LIBRA: Give a massage or get one -- or both. The exchange will be healing. SCORPIO: It's time to talk money, and you'll have just the right words. SAGITTARIUS: You'll benefit from making someone dear to you more of a priority in your life. CAPRICORN: You'll want to spend time with the person who makes you laugh. All others are pale contenders. AQUARIUS: Be who you want to be, not who someone else wants you to be. PISCES: The one who keeps asking for your opinion and insight has a crush on you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Libra are zodiac neighbors who have little in common, and that's what makes them a great pair! When Scorpio is in the mood to be intense, Libra lightens the atmosphere. When they go to a party together, Scorpio brings passion and intrigue, and Libra brings diplomacy. Scorpio fosters a soulful connection, and Libra nurtures a healthy friendship. Their strengths are perfectly complementary!

For the Week of Sunday, November 1, 2009

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The Chinese proverb says, "When you go to buy, don't show your silver." This is only good advice if you have a lot of "silver." If you don't have much, just confess. You'll be surprised at what people will give you because they like you and admire your spirit. Stay tenacious and keep thinking big, and you'll be rewarded.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you're in your usual environs, you know exactly what you're supposed to be doing. But since you'll be brave enough to venture away from your routine this week, it will take you a beat to get your bearings. You'll be looking for a new purpose within the context of your foreign territory. Be patient and you'll find it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). One thing that all great men and women have in common is that they have failed often -- sometimes spectacularly. Remember this as you make your daily choices. If you're not risking failure, it's a sign that your path isn't challenging enough to engage your talents. Have the courage to go for greatness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). They say lightning never strikes the same place twice, but you're not worried about that. You'd like to see it strike just the one time, and you wonder how long you'll have to wait to see it. Sometimes it feels like everything is happening everywhere else but here. Hold on. You're going to be amazed at your luck.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Remember that road trip you once took? The blowing wind, the ever-changing scenery, the new friends... Well, you can't go back, but you can make new trips. There's always more road. You might not be inspired to travel right now, but plan something for the future, or start fantasizing about the adventures to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There will be so much going on this week that getting lost in the shuffle will be, at times, inevitable. However, it will also be easy to anchor yourself. Make a short list of experiences you'd like to have in the near future. This is your touchstone. Pull it out and look at it often -- 10 to 100 times a day. Really!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will choose the perfect mentor. It doesn't have to be someone you know or even someone who is currently alive. Read up on this person, and converse with him or her on the higher planes of your mind. Your mentor will guide you as the stars guide the sailor. Look up and move in the right direction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Go where the inspiration lies. Recognize that others won't be inspired by the same things that move you. Even people you are close to and love very much may not understand. Don't let that diminish your enjoyment. Ideally, you will be too busy following your muse to care what anyone thinks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You play it cool this week. You won't be inclined to move quickly, but rather, deliberately and with extremely successful results. While everyone else rushes through a half-imagined program, you will spend your time plotting the perfect plan. Then when you move, everything moves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll be making up your mind about something important. Once you decide what you want to do, a new path will open to you. All week you will get hints to help you in this process. By Saturday, you'll be able to connect the dots that create an arrow to point you in the right direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You jokingly tell yourself to "act normal" knowing fully that there really is no such thing. Everyone is unique, and in your corner of the world, there are a wide variety of personalities to consider. So just do what comes naturally to you. Everyone will feel comfortable when you do. You'll be universally accepted.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is a very positive and lucky thing, that little voice inside you that chimes, "What will so-and-so think?" It is your awareness of others that has earned you their trust. That is precisely why you can now afford to turn that voice down in the sound system of your mind, or perhaps even off completely.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Anyone can sparkle when the sun is out. Your trials of the past three years have helped you turn up your inner light, too, and you've sparkled through darker times. In 2010, you'll use all of the knowledge and wisdom you've gathered to teach others. The difference you make will bring you profound satisfaction. November and June are your most romantic months. Love inspires you to create. December brings practical solutions and lifestyle upgrades. A financial stream opens in March.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: You wisely understand that you'll have more to offer a loved one after you've pursued your own dreams and goals. TAURUS: Do not talk about an ex with your current love, even if what you have to say is neutral. No matter how you phrase things, jealousies will arise. Best to say nothing. GEMINI: Your friends lead you to potential loves, or a sweetie will lead you to new friends. CANCER: There is no need to go too deeply into your past with someone you are just getting to know. Remain mysterious. LEO: You'll receive a thrilling invitation. VIRGO: Focus your care on those who appreciate it and will demonstrate it with a touching display. LIBRA: Your energy improves when you spend time with a certain person -- and don't spend time with those who are draining to be around. SCORPIO: A loved one will be impressed with how well you fit into his or her world. SAGITTARIUS: Spiritual matters will be worked out in a physical way. CAPRICORN: The moment will arise: You will captivate the attention of someone you've long been interested in. AQUARIUS: A love triangle is featured. PISCES: Love is a melding of worlds. Compromise to make it work.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Libra and Sagittarius are two sophisticated signs that have a wide range of interests and a broad definition of beauty. Both signs are lifelong learners, though Libra tends to be more bookish and Sagittarius learns through experience. They are open-minded and believe that being in love means you are willing to extend yourself in new ways, do things differently, compromise and go with the flow.

Weekly Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may not think of yourself as a domestic wizard, but you're actually pretty talented, especially when it comes to cooking. That one thing you like to make -- it can't be beat. Whip up some to share at work. The gesture will impress your peers and make everyone happier. Generosity comes back to you threefold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). They say it takes five nice comments to balance out one mean one. Someone in your family has four more to go, but don't hold your breath. Not everyone knows this rule. You'll be better off if you quickly forgive the grievance and move on. You'll make astounding progress on a current project.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A storm of excitement is brewing just over the horizon. It may seem as though this is something that is happening to you, but really it's happening because of you. You've been concocting this delicious piece of personal weather, and finally you will get to experience the wondrous culmination of your efforts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your positive attitude will serve as armor, protecting you and saving you from getting dragged down by piddling daily stresses. Most of the stuff that could upset you will bounce right off as you think, "Who cares?" You've got more important things to do, and you'll be very busy doing them this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A shift in leadership leaves you wondering where your responsibilities will fall. Time will show this to be a fortuitous turn of events. Since you work well with a broad set of people, you'll find your way without much stress. Others won't have such an easy time, though. Your friendly countenance will help them through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your dreams this week, both during the day and at night, will be vivid. Note any recurring characters or motifs. Writing them down will often get you closer to understanding. Your imagination holds the key to lifting your situation into a more joyful and free place. Thursday, you'll be ready to take practical action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It can be embarrassing when your cell phone accidentally calls someone from your pants pocket, buttons seemingly depressed at random. Consider that this outreach might not be such a coincidence. Technology is just another way for the universe to assist you in connecting with others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Increase your involvement in the life of someone you love. Showing up in this person's world isn't always easy for you. You have to make a big effort in order to fit in with their friends, get into their interests and feel at ease in their "habitat." The relationship will flourish, however, when you do this very important work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Waiting for just the right moment to celebrate is not advised. That big fancy event in your future might wind up being too stuffy and pressurized to really be fun. Pack in the larks and laughs now. The casual atmosphere and your excellent company will prove a fantastic combination for spontaneous joy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's wonderful to be generous when you have extra. But when you don't have much, that's the true test of the depth of your generosity. You'll see many opportunities to give of yourself, some of them easy, others quite difficult. You relish the chance to show the world your exemplary character.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is something you desire at such a hidden level that even you are not fully aware of it. But you'll become more conscious as the week develops. One hint is that you will be jealous of the person who possesses this quality or thing already. Regard feelings of envy as merely signals to show you the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The thing about making plans far in advance is that you can never be sure that "future you" is going to feel like doing the thing that "past you" arranged. You currently have a very accurate assessment of what "future you" will want, though, so go ahead. Be bold. Set dates and buy tickets. Enroll in a distant adventure.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You want freedom, and you place yourself in scenarios that afford you plenty of room to explore, experiment and experience the wonders of the world. The next six weeks bring romantic whims and moments of vivid connection with someone special. There will be a happy reunion in November. January brings a financial decision, and it affects where you'll live. A business you'll be involved in takes off in March. There will be a sweet new influence in your life in June.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: You'll be judged by the company you keep. TAURUS: Instead of scanning those around you to see how you compare, try to do better than you did before. Then you'll be a winner. GEMINI: If you feel insecure about something, change it fast. A coach, counselor or other professional will help you. CANCER: You're strong now, so go on and risk rejection. Give it your best, and you'll gain confidence no matter what happens. LEO: You like who you are, and that's sexy. VIRGO: Wear soft clothes and get prepared for someone to reach out and touch you. LIBRA: Your intelligence is extremely attractive to a super-smart someone. SCORPIO: Clear the schedule. A loved one needs quality, undivided attention. SAGITTARIUS: There might be a cancelation, but you'll make even better spur-of-the-moment plans to fill the slot. CAPRICORN: Money and love will mix together. Your stable attitude about finance makes this possible. AQUARIUS: Others might not know how to interpret an overly generous gesture from you. Play it cool and understated instead. PISCES: You'll be in the mood to cut loose and have some fun.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Pisces people are intense water signs who feel they have been connected through lifetimes even if they just met. They are both highly intuitive and lead with their feelings instead of making a logically correct choice. Situations that are too controlled will suck all of the passion out of this relationship. This weekend they should step into unknown territory together, just for the adventure of it.

Weekly Horoscope:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Initially, you may be grumpy about the many responsibilities that will fall to you. But you should be able to adopt a brighter mood, especially mid-week, when you'll be given props for being so dependable. If, however, you find it difficult to change your tune, then change your venue. Travel is favored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In the past, you started, and abandoned, an exercise routine -- it wasn't your fault. The activity felt more like work than play. This week offers a new chance to take part in something you will enjoy that happens to burn calories, too. A friend or instructor will provide the accountability you need to stick with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your love of order is threatened by someone who doesn't value it quite as much. It may seem easy for you to put things back where they belong, but for this person it's not. You're no servant, and don't be an enabler, either. Meet in the middle, helping to make things right -- but don't do it all for this person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Comedian Mitch Hedberg said: "I'm tired of chasing my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later." This is more than a clever joke. Consider making a similar deal with destiny now. Ask to be shown the destination. Answers come in a dream or an uncanny coincidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll have the opportunity to describe yourself. Of course, you'd rather people took the time to observe and understand you, but in a fast-paced world, there are many who will need the condensed version. They'll take you at your word, too, so think carefully about how you might convey your skills, qualities and attributes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Family, love, professional fulfillment -- many still believe that you cannot have it all. Your brilliant, graceful movement through this week will prove otherwise. It's amazing the way you create success in several areas of life at once. This is the kind of balance that people strive their whole lives to know.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are friends, and then there are friends you'd feel comfortable borrowing money from. Not that you would necessarily, but it's nice to imagine that someone's got your back. You'll be reviewing and defining your relationships. You will be especially drawn to those who fit into more than one category.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Chicken is a game kids play to see who will back down first. Oddly, adults play it, too -- only then the consequences are much greater than a skinned knee. Avoid this game now. Be content to prove your worth to one person only -- you. There will be opportunities Thursday and Friday to surpass your own best record.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you are capable of thinking in many different modes, this week you will be more of a big picture person -- steering projects and letting others handle the details. Set up a few quality checks along the way. On Friday your senses will tingle when you're moving in the direction of fun and excitement.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're certainly not looking for a homogenized version of reality. You see the value in diversity. You like to round out your coterie of true-blue friends with a few fringe people who see things differently. The exceptional blend of personalities you assemble will be a source of great insight and lucrative ideas, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel the need to make a personal change, but you don't know when to begin and may be afraid to fail. It's all part of the challenge. You'll feel braver as the week progresses. Someone reaches out to you on Saturday. What sounds like casual conversation has depth when you listen between the lines.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you were a ship captain, you would stand on the prow and let the ocean breeze hit you full in the face while the gulls cheer you on overhead. You are brave, you are intrepid; even these fluorescent lights can't dampen your salty spirits! The world will open to you and show you new wonders.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: Exercise your power. Someone notices you when you flex. TAURUS: Lay your boundaries and make them clear -- you want someone to add to your life, not take it over. GEMINI: You'll be tempted to overdo things, but it will help if you're around centered, stable people who aren't prone to excess. CANCER: You know and like who you are -- a very attractive quality. LEO: You celebrate your independence, but someone else would like it if you would need him or her -- just a little. VIRGO: Approach the one you're interested in. It will go well. LIBRA: You have your own style. Stick with what has been working for you. SCORPIO: You're a prize. Be wise and selective about who you let into your world. SAGITTARIUS: Take the initiative in your life. You are the director of your own picture. CAPRICORN: Let financial issues go. Dwelling on them will only hold you back from love. AQUARIUS: Your self-sufficiency might scare off someone who is weak -- and that's a good thing. PISCES: Your confidence springs from one fact: You know how to make your own dreams come true.


COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Libra and Aries are a study in counterbalance. When one is feeling impulsive, the other will be the voice of reason. When one has a moment of self-doubt, the other will be a confident supporter. They are different with one another than they are with anyone else in the world. They are seldom in the same mood at the same time, which makes for delicious tension and constant excitement.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: You are so attractive because you have a balanced life and do not depend on others to give your life purpose. TAURUS: Make it a point to love the package you come in, even if there are things about it that you want to change. GEMINI: Remember that you do not need to measure up to anyone else's standards, only your own. CANCER: Realize when a competitive tone is appropriate and when a more loving, sharing tone is what's needed. LEO: You love the one with whom you feel most relaxed and comfortable. VIRGO: When you focus your need to improve things on yourself, other people magically get better, too. LIBRA: You find something nice to say, even when it's challenging to think of it -- that's class. SCORPIO: You know when to be silent, and this brings you terrific opportunities. SAGITTARIUS: You recognize that your partner's style is not the same as yours, and you respect the difference. CAPRICORN: You will be high on the invite lists. AQUARIUS: Singles: The one you make eye contact with is a real contender. Couples shamelessly flirt with one another. PISCES: You listen to the person who is, for some reason, being ignored. This brings you good fortune.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Virgo and Libra are featured players in this week's sky-drama and make quite the dynamic duo. Virgo makes plans, and Libra puts those plans through a system of checks and balances to make sure they'll work. Both signs value honesty and believe that "true" love is "truthful" love. Virgo does well to borrow from Libra's gentle diplomacy, and Libra learns from Virgo's steadfast adherence to the rules.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: You hold a loved one in high esteem, and it shows in your actions. TAURUS: You will be treated in a way that makes you feel important and valued. GEMINI: It's time for you to advance the ball in a relationship. CANCER: Work on the fundamentals of being happy, and your love life will naturally start to move in a favorable direction. LEO: Get some white space in your calendar. Too many activities will make you feel less loving. VIRGO: Share happy stories with a loved one, and steer clear of horror stories. LIBRA: You and a loved one are equals. Resolve together that neither will take the other for granted. SCORPIO: Avoid being too selfless, as it will backfire and you'll feel resentful. Do something just for you. SAGITTARIUS: Dream up a wonderful bit of fun you can have with a partner, and then make it happen. CAPRICORN: You'll express appreciation to a certain someone and will receive lots of love in return. AQUARIUS: You're open to suggestions, and you'll be around someone who has some truly great ones! PISCES: Someone wants to hear your stories and asks all the right questions to get you to open up.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Virgo and Scorpio are an attractive pair who can at times be the perfect compliment to one another. They both have a way of getting to the point. Both value honesty so highly that they would rather be told the truth, even if it means getting hurt. They help one another become better people because they are able to give and receive constructive criticism without taking the information too personally.

For week of September 13th:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is much to distract, tempt and hypnotize you away from important but tedious work. Limit your options, and you'll be better able to focus on your top priorities. Once you recommit yourself to what you said you were going to do, something magical happens: The boring aspects of work disappear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You need encouragement at every turn this week. You're not usually this sensitive, but you've been putting out a lot of energy lately and your returns are delayed. Positive comments go a long way toward helping you believe in yourself and what you're doing. Ask people to praise you, or give praise to yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Impatience is seldom viewed as the character flaw that it is, since impatient people are so wrapped up in feeling superior for their quick timing. Ward against this vice for the next five days, as it shows emotional immaturity and creates an unhappy tone for all. Instead, be patient and you'll lead a charmed life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's not what you say; it's that you say it in a way that makes others feel acknowledged, if not complimented or even loved. The early week sees you catching up on calls, mail and other correspondence. You'll find a piece of information you missed and get a second chance to take advantage of the opportunity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You made a certain agreement in the past without understanding completely what you were signing on for. If you had known, you wouldn't have agreed. But now you're in a better place anyway. This week you're at a similar crossroads. Do more research than you did the last time, and stay optimistic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you have something to sell, you're grateful for the opportunity to be in front of people to talk about your product. But if you don't have anything to sell, you might be tempted to forgo certain social events. Show up in spite of your trepidation. You can still sell yourself and gather more supporters to Team You.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a lot on your plate, and you'll realize that you can't do it all by yourself. People who want to support you have to be told exactly how to do this. You have nothing to lose by laying it all out on the line. If the same supporters can't give you what you need, you'll be one step closer to finding someone who can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Look at where you are and what you're doing. If you could go back in time and tell the 8-year-old version of yourself what is in store, he or she wouldn't believe it. Similarly, the current you will be blown away by the wonderful future that is rushing toward you. (That is, if you get to work in creating a wonderful one.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It won't be unusual for you to find yourself among strangers this week. You purposely get out of your element -- that's what it takes to expand your realm. Admit what you don't know, and ask some general questions. They lead to specific questions, and soon you'll be versed in a new area of study.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Give credit to the one who corrected your posture. You may not have appreciated the instruction at the time, but that habit of standing straight is doing you a lot of good this week. You command respect before you say a thing. Put thought into how to present your ideas, and you'll be mighty persuasive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The friendships you make this week affect your work. You'll enter a new group of people, most of whom already know one another. Go slowly. Evaluate the scene and social dynamics involved before forming any alliances. Also, steer clear of the gossipy group, even though it might seem like a fun crowd at first.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You might be tempted to put all of your energy and charm into attracting the one you admire. But this is not your only option, and it's not your best one, either. Instead, cultivate a high self-approval rating that's independent of the opinion of others. This will have a positive, immediate and astounding effect on your life.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You shed layers of fear and doubt to emerge a fresh and vital force in the world. You'll be willing to take your chances in a highly competitive arena, and you'll eventually do quite well if you stick with it. If your first choice is not a winning one, you'll find a different way to succeed. You will be extremely selective as to how you spend your time and with whom. It will be lucky for you to expand your social circle in November and again in March. In December, family unites for a joyous purpose.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:

ARIES: You're a great conversationalist when you ask questions and give the floor to others. TAURUS: You'll say things in the proper way in order to preserve someone's feelings and show respect. GEMINI: This very minute, the one you want is seeking you, too. CANCER: You'll have positive conversations that motivate others. LEO: To have fun -- that is a noble purpose. Any move you make toward that end will contribute to your legacy. VIRGO: Ask for what you need and you will be answered with action that improves your quality of life. LIBRA: Doing what makes you happy brings you together with potential partners or closer to an existing partner. SCORPIO: Keep your own secrets! SAGITTARIUS: You'll be running errands for a loved one. Make sure this person is aware of all you do and doesn't take you for granted. CAPRICORN: Write a love letter to yourself. This will raise your self-esteem and attractiveness. AQUARIUS: You don't mind putting time into making sure your loved one is happy. After all, your relationships deserve to be handled with care. PISCES: Ask open-ended questions and you'll learn fascinating new information about someone dear.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Leo and Pisces are a fantastically creative pairing if both parties try to understand how different they really are. Pisces admires Leo's bold moves. Leo should be cautioned that Pisces is sensitive, and Leo must never criticize Pisces, even if the criticism seems constructive. Pisces will influence Leo to be wiser and more effective and appropriate.
