With Venus sailing through Libra, the first blush of new relationships colors the whole day. But the giddy, butterfly feeling of getting to know someone for the first time might visit existing relationships, too, giving old love new wings. Other people provide balance that is hard to get on your own. By relinquishing some power, you gain more.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
. Put aside your old formulas for romance. Being progressive is so successful that once you hit on what works for you, everyone will be asking your advice. The family dynamic uses a lot of your mental energy tonight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Some people are insanely jealous, but you’d never know it until you have a little good news to share. Get far away from someone who doesn’t really want the best for you because this person is an energy drain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ll see lots of ways to improve your situation. Keep an air of playfulness in your view of the world. Big money could be made through expanding your role at work. Consider doing some consulting on the side.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll make an unexpected but significant leap forward. Don’t let other people tell you that you’re "so lucky." You spent your whole life getting up to this moment. Venturing out into nature will be very healing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
All you have to do is keep your nose to the grindstone, and you make astounding progress. Is there really room in your life for someone who is certain to turn everything upside down? You bet! And furthermore, you have no choice!

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (September 16).
The encouragement you need to succeed comes from your own amazing accomplishments this year! Minor work upsets in October are just that – minor. You brush them off and show everyone else how to do the same. Wedding bells are luckiest when they ring for you in December. Luck in love comes naturally to you in February. Your lucky numbers are: 54, 10, 25, 2 and 53.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Connecting with a sweet friend makes you glad for your effort. It feels wonderful to be accepted. However, be careful not to overspend at a restaurant or on a shopping trip just because you’re caught up in the fun of the moment.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23).
If your schedule is too full, it could cause you to make your belly too full, too – food is used to soothe nerves today, but it’s not the best remedy and really only creates more stress on your body. Instead, be proactive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
. The world is on a tilted axis, a scientific fact you find true on all kinds of levels today. Not everyone has the emotional stability you’ve been able to find, and you could be instrumental in helping others stay grounded.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
It’s hard to be generous when you’re ignoring your own needs. Be considerate of yourself, and take care of personal requirements before offering to help others. A relative may not be telling the truth about money.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The stars are right for conquering bad habits. Give up an old way of thinking, and you’re halfway there. Once you change your mind, your action is easy to curb. Your financial life could use another look.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The onus falls on you to make things happen in your career. People who promised you one thing could deliver something else entirely. Be smart – make trips to the copy machine to document your transactions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
At work, give up old-school ideas about what’s proper. Sometimes, business and pleasure go great together. Higher ups are won over by charm, smooth talk and friendly sport. Singles: A romantic question fills your mind.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS:
"I’ve been single for so long, I can’t even remember what it’s like to have someone. But I really want to meet someone, and I wonder if you can tell me why I haven’t found love and what I’m doing wrong. Are Sagittarius sun signs meant to be single?"

You say you want a relationship, but you haven’t really decided what kind or even why. Your unsettled attitude is projected, so others pick it up. There are a million positive aspects to a solo mission through the next month or so. First of all, there are things you want to learn, places you’d like to travel, and projects you’ve been meaning to take on without the hassle of consulting a second party. In fact, I’m sure that, as a Sagittarius, you haven’t completely lost the virtues of freedom but have merely forgotten them. Get in touch with your autonomy. Stop obsessing over loves who don’t deserve it. Fall in love with yourself. Ironically, this is when your romantic picture takes on a new form. This happens much sooner than you think – someone you think of as a friend could just be the one.

CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Alexis Bledel plays the brainy, mature and sensitive daughter on "The Gilmore Girls." Is she like her character? Well, she’s about to become more like her, as she takes on an interesting study and has lots to discuss with talk-show hosts. Career moves have to do with developing intelligence and taking risks in 2004. Virgo people hate to take risks and will learn as much as possible to limit their mistakes.
