STAR TRACK

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You explore new outlets for self-expression. Your timing should be perfect and those around you should find you most spontaneous. Look around for ways in which to strike a balance in your life. This will help you to feel the peace of mind that you strive to achieve. This month will present plenty of opportunities to enhance true romance. Lots of evenings will be spent in the enjoyment of social activities, whether it is with a loved one or with your many friends. Finances are strong all month and new ideas for investments next week may come across your path more than once. Check out these opportunities before you plunk down the money. Take advantage of this quiet evening to rest, catch up on your reading; refurbish your energies.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your family circle is always pulsating with activity and you are an energetic and willing participant in many activities. You may even decide to help round up the kids so that some of the other people in the family can relax with some personal time. You may decide to broaden your interests by visiting a museum, exhibit, etc. You gain new perspectives. Your bright ideas keep you busy with creative endeavors and relationships. You will find your friends true to their word and very helpful. The more fact gathering and detail hunting you do-the closer you are to making your dreams a reality. Make a list of repair needs that you can correct in April. You might enjoy planting a few spring flowers or vegetables tonight for a spring show.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Great temptations to spend money can be headed off by thinking of the future and what you really want instead of the desires of the moment. There are several times this year in which you see areas of your life where you will want to make improvements. You may be thinking about changes and improvements that may be needed in the neighborhood. Talking to neighbors and getting together a proposal for city approval on those improvements is progress. This is an easy, calm day that should find everything running smoothly. Duties and concerns demand your attention most of the afternoon. A rush of activity is understandable at this time of the year. Plan a meal for eating on the patio. A beautiful evening ahead is perfect for viewing the stars.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Deep appreciation of your friends, family and life status at this time leads to showering those you love with gifts and kind deeds. You are enterprising and may have several suggestions for entertainment ideas that the whole family could enjoy. Luck seems to be on your side now as plans, decisions and just finding your way through situations or projects will end in a positive way. Good advice from a guide or older person may be inevitable-listen. You may find yourself being put to good use by an elderly person later today. This may mean running shopping or cooking errands. Laughter and encouragement from others contribute toward making this a good day. Emotional security, a sense of belonging and nurturing are felt instinctively.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

This can be a great time to be with friends or family in an atmosphere of play. You can play a new role in the family now, particularly if you accept an unusual opportunity. You are cheerful and you encourage others with your positive attitude. Although you are not one to go backward, this is a day you may improve something old-turning lemons into lemonade. This may be the correction of an idea, a feeling or the improvement of some technique. A friend needs your help, but what the friend may really be asking is for you to do the work. Look for ways in which you can gently encourage this person. To be truly content, spiritual needs must be met and today you find that music is highly spiritual. Expressing affection is an easy matter this evening.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Today is all about family. When raising children it is always wise to create a backup system or a support system to take turns or take the children for a weekend or a date night. If you have family or friends with children about the same age as your children, a trade will certainly bring well-needed change for everyone. A library in your area may be open in the afternoon and you will find it a great place of discovery for children. With them busily cruising through a book or video, you can find music, movies, games or books on tape, or log onto the internet while you are there. Learn something new this evening and teach it to someone else. This can be anything from a simple joke or a song to perhaps the rules of the game you just checked out of the library.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Organizing people and projects will become central to your lifestyle. Evaluate your standing at work or in your profession while you are at home today. You should not hesitate to plan on how you will execute new ideas and new projects-just as long as all the facts are known. There is a lot of energy petitioning you to strive to accomplish whatever you set out to do. To satisfy emotional needs, keep a powerful flow of energy and balance between both giving and receiving love and support. Oneway risks rarely provide satisfaction. Today could be a most fulfilling day. You make a concentrated effort to be a mentor to the young. Smile! Your physical attractiveness is enhanced and there is a desire for intimacy and love with a partner this evening.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

This Monday has the look of being a high-energy day. Make a determined effort to remain flexible. If you feel inclined to spend lots of money, don't. Wait a while longer before splurging as there could be some unexpected bills you have forgotten. You are at your most practical when it comes to dealing and working with groups of people. You may feel confident volunteering for a young people's group. You know just what to do and can act without haste and emotion. You could also be most persuasive with others and may be called upon to clear away any misunderstandings. Take care when interacting with your friends. If you are slow to judge, you will go far. A good conversation with those you love this evening is possible this evening.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

This is a good day, with lots of energy and ambition. Respect, status and achievement are central goals for you as a new phase begins in your life. You are productive with a midas-touch kind of experience. Creating a structure to empower and maintain your ideals and principles becomes a high priority-an article of faith. By taking on greater responsibilities of this kind, you inspire others. Taking care of some personal business is a major theme where your emotional orientation is concerned. Someone will seek you out for your psychological insight and understanding. A child who is bright and articulate plays a big role in your life this evening. You may find yourself teaching or helping this child with some type of homework.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Reading material may provide new ideas for you this morning. Emotional security, a sense of belonging and nurturing are felt instinctively. You enjoy learning new things and you enjoy showing others what you have learned. This afternoon you find ways to give to others what you have been given. This may include patience, time, energy and a listening ear. You show your true appreciation for friends, family and the love of life they bring to you. While you are in this time element, you will benefit greatly from platonic relationships. Forgiveness, compassion and understanding come naturally when you look at life from an eternal perspective. If anyone ever does know such things, you will probably come to understand them as this cycle unfolds.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

A neighbor has a new activity and he or she may want you to join in the activity. A walk early in the morning is the perfect time to visit, get rid of a few calories and tone up a few muscles. Later today you may be visiting someone special and find yourself running errands all over the city for this person. Diving in and doing more than you wanted to do for another person makes one feel used. If you are feeling this way just now, sharing how you feel is important. Perhaps clearing up a misunderstanding is needed to create a healing. Later today, while going through the tax papers, you may see yourself finding good answers for ways that will help you increase your financial position. You may want to purchase a home or a car in the near future. You can do it.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

You are quite competitive this morning and may want to enjoy a bicycle ride or some other type of activity that will allow you to join up with others this bright morning. If the weather is inclement, there are competitive things to do indoors but your own private competition is advised. For example, you could play the minute waltz, do pushups, play a game with a friend on the computer or internet, etc. Learning a foreign language may be one of your goals for this next year and now is not too late to begin a daily practice; travel could be the incentive. This is a period when the new, the different and the unusual will bring big influences to you, both psychologically and physically. Enjoy the day's celebration.
