ARIES
(March 21 - April 20) : Exciting news could
come to you today that could bring a lot of joy
into your life, Aries. Your income may soon
skyrocket, and more opportunities to advance
yourself professionally should start coming thick and fast.
You may even receive some sort of public acknowledgment.
This isn't the end of the line, however - this is only the
beginning! You will be glad to know you can expect this trend
to continue for some time.
TAURUS
(April 21 - May 21): A powerful bond
between you and a romantic partner could
have you walking around with your head in
the clouds, Taurus. Things between you
seem to be improving by leaps and bounds. Right now it all
seems just too perfect. Savor every moment of your time
together. You will want to remember them when times
aren't quite so easy. We all deserve such halcyon days. You
and your beloved should definitely make the most of it.
GEMINI
(May 22 - June 21): Gemini, love of all
kinds - the love of friends, the affection
of family members, romantic love -
flourishes in the home today as a
number of visitors come to your door, perhaps
unexpectedly. One of your guests could bring some
wonderful news about money. A strong sense of
unity among all those present should be very
apparent, at least to you.
CANCER
(June 22 - July 23): A large gathering of
friends, relatives, and neighbors could
take place in your neighborhood today,
Cancer. You might run into a few old
friends you haven't seen in a long time and enjoy
catching up. A former romantic partner could also be
present. Are you still interested? If so, pursue it. It
might work this time! If you're no longer interested,
perhaps you could now be friends. Think about it!
LEo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): If you've asked
your employer for a raise recently, Leo, the
astral energy indicates that you can expect
to receive one soon. Your employer is
greatly impressed with your efforts, and probably
thinking that you might be setting your sights elsewhere.
Opportunities may certainly appear, although this is
obviously not the time to make a decision. Take some
time to really think and consider everything carefully.
VIRGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): An unexpected
letter or package might arrive sometime
today, Virgo. This could be a gift from a
lover - perhaps a bit more lavish than you
would have expected. You could receive other
communications as well. At least one could be related to
your job in some way. A party invitation could also
come, and you will probably want to attend. A
significant other will want to accompany you.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Happiness reigns in
the home right now, Libra. Money comes
pouring in from bonuses, salary from extra
hours, or gifts. You may be considering
spending some of this money on either adding to or
refurbishing your home. If you're having trouble making
a decision, consider consulting a decorator. There is great
harmony within your family. You seem to understand
each other on an intuitive level.
SCoRPIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): Are you single,
Scorpio? If so, today you might fall in
love at first sight. You may have been
frustrated lately by the lack of available,
interesting people, but today you could meet someone
who seems too perfect for words. And you can rest
assured that the attraction is mutual! If you're already
involved, you can expect a revival of the fairytale
romance between you and a significant other.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): A strong attraction to
someone could take you by surprise today,
Sagittarius. This person could be involved in
the arts in some way, perhaps film,
television, or recording. You might spend considerable time
together for the purpose of working on a project, but the
energy between you should be strong and apparent to both
of you. If you're interested in a new relationship, make sure
you look your best!
CAPRICoRN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): Are you involved in a
creative project that involves modern
technology, Capricorn? If so, progress could
be made by leaps and bounds, starting today.
A lucky break might set you off in a new direction that adds
depth and dimension to your work. Relations with colleagues
should be warm, congenial, and supportive. There is a sense
of unity that pervades the group and adds to the energy and
enthusiasm. You will love the results of your efforts.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): If you own your home
or have any kind of investments in real
estate, Aquarius, you might hear some
great news today about the value of that
investment. It's likely to be increasing, and probably
will continue in that direction. This could make a big
difference in your life in some way right now. In fact,
there might be a number of options opening to you.
Consider them all carefully, and go for the gold.
PISCES
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : Are you technically
single but very deeply involved with
someone, Pisces? If so, don't be surprised if
today you extend or receive a proposal of
marriage. Recent events have brought you very close
together and greatly intensified the bond between you.
Your partner may want to legalize that bond. Do you? If
there is even the smallest doubt, give yourself some time
to think. Acting on impulse isn't a good idea right now.
