If you've ever been inspired to anonymously give, or been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness, you understand that generosity without attachment benefits everyone. Venus kisses Neptune today and what we give — beauty, creativity or compassion — nurtures humanity. The value in exchange is the spiritual grace of giving.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone has put you to the test in the last three weeks, and now it's time to put someone else to the test. Don't be afraid to push. You'll find that your subject is very capable and willing to excel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be assimilating a dream team. They are not people who think like you; rather, they have their own individual talents and perspectives. That is what makes them so valuable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The right choice doesn't take a lot of time to come up. You know in an instant what to do. Do you have the motivation to get it done? You will once you draw on the help of friends.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Financial balance, for some, is about wanting less and earning more. For you, right now it's about wanting more and figuring out a way to make enough to afford it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though sensational circumstances keep life exciting, real happiness doesn't require any outside stimulus. It's inwardly generated. Only situations that challenge you on many levels will draw happiness up from your inner well.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (APRIL 25). You enjoy the respect of your peers this year as you dive into difficult tasks undaunted. You gain a few paper qualifications through formal training or programs in September. But what you learn personally from the experience is the real value. New friends come into your life in June. Your partner in adventure is Cancer and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 2, 11 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You search for honesty. It requires that you pay attention to what's really going on in a relationship. When you don't know, ask. And when you think you do know, ask. It's better than going on an assumption.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you put your heart on the line, you risk breaking it, hardening it or subjecting it to ecstatic highs that are difficult to come down from. Whatever happens, it will be a development — one that won't happen unless you risk it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Business slows down as you wait on one person's phone call. Divert your attention by starting another project or indulging a delicious tangent.

Nothing makes you more attractive than having a lot to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You find yourself moving in an entirely unforeseen business direction. As you learn more, you discover that your previous way of thinking was too small to encompass all you could gain from a situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you create another day in the story of your life, you can't help but wonder, what kind of story is it? An action adventure? A comedy? A drama? A string of noteworthy events this afternoon will help you decide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The person you once considered an adversary is fast becoming someone you can really relate to. The tension between you was all because you're more alike than you cared to admit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's a competition of sorts going on. The prize doesn't go to the one who naturally has skill. The prize goes to the one who chooses to develop a skill to best of his or her ability.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: The secret of seduction is there's nothing to learn. Being yourself is the sexiest thing going. TAURUS: A quiet moment spent doing what you love spills over in the direction of those you love. GEMINI: Socializing with friends this weekend creates sweet diversity in your life and your opportunity for romance. CANCER: Recognizing yourself in another is the quickest path to intimacy. LEO: Your enthusiasm elevates a practical or serious effort into a pleasurable one. VIRGO: You're in the process of releasing old baggage in love, freeing you up to explore the treasures you already posses. LIBRA: Your favorite past time is peaceful companionship. Rest easy with the ones you love. SCORPIO: You discover an attraction is mutual, and it's growing stronger with each passing day. SAGITTARIUS: A mundane conversation with your partner sheds new light on a heart matter. CAPRICORN: You tickle loved ones with a rare but exceedingly captivating side of you. AQUARIUS: While making weekend plans, choose to spend it with those who make you feel at home. PISCES: A relationship transforms how you see yourself in the world, and therefore, your dreams.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Watch two campfire flames leaping hungrily into the air and you understand the nature of Leo and Sagittarius. For the fire couple to remain vital, following a shared inspiration, essentially anything that "catches fire" in their hearts fans flames of passion higher. And by appropriating space to shine, or "air time," neither steals the other's light, so they can enjoy the warm brilliance of their twin flame.
