HOROSCOPE

ARIES
(March 21-April 20)

Get out the paints, brushes and spray cans on Tuesday, Aries, as you immerse yourself in a variety of colorful creative projects. The Moon in Aries trines newly-entering Venus and Mercury in Leo, so you're serene and social this week. Let the kids you play with get in on the show-and-tell, too, so nobody goes home cranky. Snap some shots for your scrapbook. You'll want to remember the exuberant scene. Love: glorious; Career: happening!; Health: let the sun shine in.



TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)

You're still not joining the party, but you'll be having one of your own, with your own props and peeps, by next weekend. Since the Moon's still in Capricorn into the early evening, you do have today to score points in your career sector. For example, when the boss (or ornery customer) walks by, nod, smile and then arch an eyebrow mysteriously, so you leave them guessing. Whatever you do, however, don't let 'em see you sweat. Love: forever; Career: steady; Health: try an Evian spritzer.



GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)

Friday, the Moon trines Jupiter in fellow air-sign Libra, and sextiles Mars in compatible Aries. You'll feel pleasantly full, and deeply hopeful about your future. If you've got ideas on the back burner, bring them forward and start cookin', because these high-energy planets can push deals through like nobody's business. Let's face it: You've been ready for quite a while now. It's time to take your place in the winner's circle. Love: unconditional; Career: simmering; Health: double the reps.



CANCER
(June 22-July 22)

Heavenly stuff is in your stars. On Monday, a trine with the Pisces Moon and Saturn in your sign will help you feel both ultra-serene and accomplished. Mercury (thought) conjuncts Venus (romance), in Cancer, for divine career and social interactions. Invest your time by talking with people who count. Love, work, communicating deep feelings: It's a fab-crab mix that will sweep you happily into July, when heavy Saturn finally exits Cancer. Love: cozy; Career: a big boost is in the works; Health: breathe deeply, let go.



LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)

Wednesday, the Moon in Aries sextiles Neptune in Aquarius and trines Pluto in Sagittarius, giving you a fighting chance to make dreams come true. You'll have the intuition and idealistic fervor to push through formerly uncertain plans. Work on them in the next few days. If need be, put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Should anyone call you a party pooper, just wave them away. You've got a date with success. The party can wait. Love: loyal; Career: a hunch pays off; Health: pop open a can of spinach.



VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)

I know a kid who used to joke that his mother was "a virgin." When he grew up, he realized that she was, in fact, a Virgo. She overanalyzed everything, expected the kid to be perfect, and was exceedingly dutiful: The kid had great teeth and even his sheets were ironed. He turned out to be an artist who never makes his bed. Are you like this kid's mother? If so, the week ahead could be a challenge. Mom plans, the Universe laughs. Love: you got it; Career: do the math; Health: stay cool.



LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

I hope you're keeping track of your lottery tickets. When the Moon in Aquarius trines Jupiter in your sign on Friday, you could win big bucks, land a soul mate, or be voted the Sexiest Person Alive by some calorie-free celeb magazine. Just make sure this windfall doesn't go to your head, because on Saturday Mars opposes your sign. You won't want to look boastful to an envious rival who could rain on your parade. Just look pretty and smile down on the masses. Love: cuddly; Career: get out the money bag; Health: healthy.



SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Someone is about to let you know you're beautiful, whether you know it or not, as the Moon goes Piscean Sunday, and an unexpected waterfall showers you with romance. It's time to accept that invitation to boogie on down with friends who've been begging you to go out with them. Grab your dancin' shoes, head for a cool place like the Voodoo Lounge, and be prepared to meet a soul partner. You may never stay home alone on the weekends again. Love: go get it; Career: improving; Health: dance your way to it.



SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)

A little girl was asked to describe her father. She said, slightly embarrassed, "Sometimes he's a man, other times a horse." As an adult, she realized that her father was a Sagittarian (the satyr) and was astounded. This led her to become an astrologer. Most Sags have a wild streak, and their lives change radically, mid-stream. You'll feel and envision this truth for yourself as a Piscean Moon squares Pluto in your sign on Monday, challenging you to a mystical/spiritual duel. Love: hopeful; Career: galloping; Health: Om's the word.



CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

Please let up in your struggle to be responsible for the whole world. It's exhausting. My prescription for you: Yawn twice upon waking. Roll over and go back to sleep. Keep the National Enquirer bedside, so you won't actually think about anything you're reading. If you dream you're friends with Madonna or Tom Cruise, it's a good sign. Stay in bed until air, water and fire-sign Moons have departed. You'll be back in your element next Friday when the Moon's in Taurus. Love: sleep on it; Career: you need a vacation; Health: snooze.



AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)

I learned a lot about Steve Wynn reading Dominick Dunne's column in this month's Vanity Fair, but can you guess what fact is usually missing from most profiles of the Wynner? He's an Aquarian (1/27). In fact, he's got several planets in air, which pretty much describes someone with a yen for tall buildings. You'll win tomorrow, Aquarius, as the Moon in your sign sextiles Mars and trines Jupiter. Go on, take the stage. Progressive ideas are needed in the world today. Love: starry-eyed; Career: just imagine; Health: comfy.



PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)

Can't get no satisfaction lately? You might change your mind Sunday, when Moon in Pisces trines Sun in Cancer. Think: lolling on the beach under a broad umbrella, watching the hotties slink by in their bikinis and Speedos. Whatever your preference, gawk away. Just don't forget Monday's deadline. Mercury conjuncting Saturn finds you at your computer, easily crafting into the wee hours, albeit with a load of sand in your pants. Or panties. Love: approaching; Career: snug; Health: don't forget to eat.
