ARIES (March 21-April 19): Those with a one-track mind can see no other path to their destination. You must be more charitable to those with a lack of imagination. Plan on cozy and contented moments with an affectionate someone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Once you have given something a label, you can safely put it away on a shelf. Loved ones may expect you to be organized and precise about minute details. Don't be misled by sweeping statements.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Anyone can dream. But it takes determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort to see dreams become a reality. Once you have visualized what you want, a loved one will help you accomplish it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stay sane in an insane world by being sympathetic. Take pride in your ability to help the underdog or find ways to be supportive of partners. Save money by paying down debt rather than adding to it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are past the big push. Even the most strenuous jobs become completed without 24/7 attention. Take a delightful detour and spend time with an enchanting someone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sculpture requires you to chip away at the nonessential. Make a sustained and reliable effort to enjoy the final results. Romantic desires might be ignited if you spend time with a special someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Understanding is a large undertaking. You have been riveted on satisfying your passions and it hasn't been a picnic. Now you may have some spare time to think about other people and offer empathy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Factor in "Forsaking all others." Duty and obligation go hand in hand with commitment. Your usual carefree, happy-go-lucky ways won't cut the mustard under these celestial conditions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Prove how self-disciplined you can be. Be clear about a need for confidentiality and don't be embarrassed about making privacy an issue. Loved ones will respect you more for being forthright.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Investigate ways to have your cake and eat it, too. Maybe you can delegate authority so you have extra time for fun. Your sweetie will be willing to massage away the stresses of a long week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It isn't possible to hit two targets with one arrow. Don't spread yourself too thin or pursue unattainable fantasies. Be flexible enough to enjoy romantic moments, but hardheaded enough not be a victim.

IF FEBRUARY 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The universe will give you the wise guidance and assistance you need to achieve your ambitions between now and the end of March. You will find that those in the immediate vicinity are helpful in some special way but your judgment about money and business is better as well, so you tend to ask the right people for advice. This is a fabulous time to put key plans into motion that will help you glide through the rest of the year. Between May and August, you are easily misled by what you hope is true and less likely to face facts. That is a poor time to begin a new job, enter into a serious romantic relationship or start any key project.
