ARIES
(March 21-April 20)

You're hot this week, in more ways than one. You may be hot under the collar, with Saturn in Leo, or hot and bothered as Venus enters Scorpio (it's love with a sting). On Saturday/Sunday, Moon in Sagittarius befriends you and gets you results, especially on the career front, as Saturn trines the Moon Saturday morning. It's a fabulous, witchy, weekend brew. Wow. Lots of "S" under your sign. I left an important one out. (See the last word). Love: Stir slowly; Career: smokin'; Health: you've tried everything else—how about sex?



TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)

Venus enters Scorpio, your opposite sign on Sunday. Bovines don't like to yearn for love, and resent having to chase after it. It's such an effort, especially as there's a current field of delicious clover to roll around in. But sometimes you gotta go get what's yours, or what you'd like to make yours. Your sign's phrase isn't "I have" for nothing. If you let a loose one get away, you'll be kicking yourself (and everybody else) for months. So please—do us a favor and Make That Call! Love: waiting to hear from you; Career: tidy; Health: in the pink.



GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)

I have an affinity for Geminis, and you know why? You're witty, sassy, and this week you'll say "Yes!" to "No!" Air-sign Moons hide out till Wednesday (then enter Aquarius in the early morning hours), and with Venus going to Scorpio on Sunday, you'll be giving the thumb's-down to just about everyone/everything for days. However, it's not all bad: You may drive away people and situations you've been hoping would drive themselves away. Love: bye-bye, blackbird! Career: now, now, be assertive, not aggressive; Health: don't dump ... well, not metaphorically, anyway.



CANCER
(June 22-July 22)

Everything's been hunky-dory, but doubts may soon creep in. How could you? You shouldn't have. You embarrassed yourself. Oy vey. Yikes. Chalk it up to Venus in Scorpio (Sunday through October). It's a water-sign festival of free love and eccentric bedroom practices—at least in your mind, it will be. For chaste Cancerians it could be the Thought Police. Take a chance. Thumb your nose at authority. Say "No!" to the mental sex cop. Let loose, at least upstairs. Love: Wear a fake moustache and trench coat, if you must; Career: who cares? Health: swingin'.



LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)

It's not easy being bright gold. Everyone is dazzled, and sometimes even frightened by the glitter you throw off just walking into a room. Madonna is a Leo, and impresses me hugely. You don't give a hoot about her because you're the legend in your own mind. However, with Saturn in your sign, and Venus about to enter Scorpio (which squares you and is dark and strange), you're not quite as certain about your magnetic star power these days. It doesn't matter, Leo. We still worship you anyway. Love: a tad sleazy for your taste; Career: holding up; Health: ditto.



VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)

Denise, a psychic client, wants to know if she should spend her lottery winnings on a trip to Vegas this spring.

On Tuesday, when the Moon in earth sign Capricorn squares Mercury, she'll have her answer. Someone she hasn't heard from in a while will contact her, saying she should put her money where her mouth is and visit Sin City before she gets too old to gamble, shop, eat and talk all at the same time. Love: Stay out of your significant other's way on Wednesday, when the Moon squares Venus—they'll be testy; Career: the new boss likes you; Health: keep pumping.



LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

On Sunday the Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Jupiter (planet of luck and expansion—it's where and how you shine) in your sign. This aspect offers adventure and fun, so if you're invited to go for a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, or jump over to Paris for a few days, go for it. Just make certain you come back before Tuesday, when Moon in Capricorn squares Jupiter, bringing you back down to Earth. Love: beckoning you to exotic locales; Career: your weekend fling could include some great new contacts; Health: avoid conflict, unless you're a novelist.



SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

As the Moon in Scorpio sextiles the Virgo Sun today, Kathy's feelings for the person she loves will soon be reciprocated, and there'll be a sweet reunion. Venus enters Scorpio on Sunday, which adds passion to the romantic mix. Venus in Scorpio—love with a sting—brings out the femmes fatales and playboys, especially in your sign of sex, death and transformation. You guys fall down wells over love. Oooh. That hurts. Love: get out the candelabras; Career: don't give away your power; Health: stay centered during periods of emotional stress.



SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)

Moon in Sagittarius through Monday, and Venus entering Scorpio Saturday, create an air of eroticism. You may feel unusually frisky in the bedroom (or hey, any other rooms in the house). Enjoy it while it lasts. Except for Monday, when sensual matters have you praising your Higher Power (thanks to Moon sextiling Venus), the rest of the week the lunar orb's in Capricorn, so you'll be taking care of business in the literal sense. A spirited weekend lends zip to your work as well. Use it or lose it, as they say. Love: strong; Career: proceed with caution; Health: steady.



CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

The Moon and Sun in Capricorn trine Mars on Tuesday, thereby setting up a great week of upward mobility for ambitious goats. It's possible that the word "yuppie" was coined for Capricorns. You guys know how to leap from rock to rock, making landings that would kill other signs because you've got a solid foundation of practical know-how when it comes to ensuring your continuing prosperity. This is the week to put your Saturnian wisdom to practice in Love: go and get it; Career: make the most of an intriguing proposition; Health: tenacious.



AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)

Don't believe everything you think this week, with Moons in water, fire and earth, and nary a breeze in sight. You probably just realized that Mr. Right is Mr. Wrong, and feel like everyone's out to get you. It's spelled P-A-R-A-N-O-I-A. You oppose Saturn now, so the "other side" is your enemy. You find the Leo element irksome. They're shiny, happy people, exceptionally psychic, and must seem smug to a depressed person. But living well is the best revenge. If you'd just stay in the Now, you'd live sooo much better. Love: don't pout; Career: give it time; Health: chill.



PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)

Venus enters Scorpio Sunday, so you may get stuck in pretty grottos and have to find your way back out to the open water. But then, you're used to spawning upstream, leaping off cliffs into the abyss, marching into the ocean to lay your eggs, circling a worm on a lethal hook to see if you can get away with it. A scorpion could be involved in this weekend's equation. So just this one time, don't fling yourself into the breach unless you want to get stung. And don't say I didn't warn you. Love: hurts so good; Career: Don't dwell on it; Health: early to bed ...
