Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your social life really picks up in the next four weeks. Make sure you have some snappy duds to wear. Suddenly, the world beckons! Moi? Yes, you. Fortunately, with Mars in your sign right now you can handle all this popularity. (Stage directions: Enter smiling.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

For the next month, the Sun slowly moves across the top of your chart bringing you tremendous high viz. It's like a spotlight on you. People notice you for a number of reasons. Even if you don't think this will happen -- it will! Therefore, look your best at all times. Floss with care.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are a busy, curious individual who values your freedom. But for the next four weeks -- its gangbusters! You want out of the cage. You're rattling your chains. Try to travel if you can. If you can't get out of town, be a tourist in your own city.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Turn your attention to insurance matters and details about inheritances, shared property and the joint responsibility for something or someone. Don't put this off any longer. The month ahead is the perfect time to address these issues. Try: " Hi there, it's me."

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The fatigue that built up over the holidays still cripples you. You need more rest. With the Sun opposite your sign for the next four weeks, you'll have less energy than normal. Don't let this get you down. Just accept the fact that you are mortal like everyone else, and go to bed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're in excellent form now. Suddenly, your desire to get better organized in life is ignited. You're fussing over everything. You're cleaning stuff too. Furthermore, it feels good. You like to putter around and improve things. You're also on a health kick. (Impressive.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Finally, it's time to play. It's also time to schmooze with pals and spend more money socializing, and possibly slipping away on a little vacation. Playful activities with children and time spent with young people will delight you now. Focus on artistic projects if you can.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The stars look pretty good for your sign right now. Even though your focus on family, domestic matters and real estate is very strong in the next few weeks, you've still got party vibes, love urges, and on top of that -- a desire to work hard at your job. Is this a Houdini thang?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get out your roller skates. You're going to be zooming around in the next few weeks. The tempo of your days accelerates now as you try to keep up with appointments, conversations and siblings, short trips, increased writing, studying and reading. Keep on truckin'.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Would you like to find some cash that you forgot you hid somewhere? Ya never know. In the next four weeks, money becomes a strong focus for you. Primarily, it's a cash flow thing. You want to earn more, and you're spending more. You want to feel proud about something.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Happy Birthday! In the next four weeks, you're pumped and energetic! It's finally your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Many of you will spend money on yourself and loved ones. Short trips are also likely.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your life takes on a more spiritual tone now. In truth, you are a sign that is never too removed from spiritual, ethereal reality. You sense things that others are completely impervious to. Like shoe sales. Discussions with friends are meaningful now.

Somehow you seem to pack more into your life than others. People love your individuality because you are warmhearted. In the year ahead, your cherished dreams could come true. It's a powerful time.
