FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating. It could be that Neptune is just jealous of all that youthful vigor, or that Mercury has a tendency to talk "out of school." Either way, …Read more. FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 Did things just get more interesting, or have they been interesting all along and we're only just now noticing it? These questions and more will seem relevant as Mercury slips into the quick, bright energy of Gemini, a brilliant placement for the …Read more.

FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 2011

The Aries sun is an explosion of vigor. In contrast, the Capricorn moon is deliberate, purposeful and analytical. If the Aries sun is a motor, the Capricorn moon is a steering wheel. In order to take full advantage of this high-energy, productive arrangement, some planning has to happen. Save the spontaneity for another day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your home environment develops to reflect your ever-changing life. With a few tasteful artistic choices and some cleaning supplies, you'll turn your space into a place of inspiration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In one area of life, you've been settling for less than you deserve. You may think it can't get better, but try anyway. Demand the best for yourself, and see how the possibilities open up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just as your breathing, voice and physical grace can be helped through proper body alignment, your bank account can be helped by the proper alignment of your work and purpose.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could accomplish something important today. It falls under the category of "above and beyond the call of duty," and that is precisely what makes it the most winning use of your time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life is like a song. Your favorite part is when the chorus kicks in and everyone sings together. That part is coming around again. Friends will accompany you, and all will join in revelry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You probably feel that you don't have time to relax — a sign that you absolutely need to. As much as you resist the idea now, leisure is essential to your health and well-being.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You set up invisible personal boundaries. You make it clear what is and is not appropriate. Loved ones respect the lines you've drawn and appreciate the structure. Everyone will get along better as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remain vigilant for the next three days. Once you establish a rule, whether for yourself or others, keep it. If you break or change the rule, you won't be taken seriously.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You gravitate toward healthy people and relationships that reflect a balanced level of give and take. As you continue in this manner, you will overcome the obstacles of your childhood.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being your own person is easier for you than it is for some. You are not afraid to call things as you see them, though others around you may be too diplomatic to do so.

Today, you'll be the voice of truth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your input will be valued and your views respected. Though it hasn't always been this way for you, this is what you deserve. Get used to it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Favors will be asked of you. Some are doable; others make you feel uncomfortable. It is possible to be friendly and accommodating without dropping all that you're doing to meet an inappropriate demand.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 27). This year brings levity and love. Sometimes you have to lose your head to find your heart. Through the next 10 weeks, you'll feel your happiness rise to a new level. June brings a significant deal to your table. There will be a reunion in August. Family additions happen in November. You have a special connection with Capricorn and Sagittarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 16, 3, 29 and 4.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: As opulent Jupiter opposes the restrictive energy of Saturn, he's a bit like a smarmy salesperson doing a bait-and-switch routine — what you see is not always what you get. The glorious merchandise in the window turns out to be unavailable. Or the item offered at a reasonable price is actually quite expensive because of the hidden costs. The good news is that you can avoid being ripped off this week by doing your research and being slow to commit. The Jupiter/Saturn opposition will affect more than commercial situations. You will benefit from applying the "buyer-beware" principle to relationships, as well. Saturn in Libra reminds us that every relationship has rules, many of them unspoken. Objectively review the rules you've agreed to. It's a time to be realistic about what you can expect from others and what they can expect from you. Jupiter in Aries has a tendency to emit naive energy. During this transit, people are more prone to idolize those with seemingly superior qualities. But sooner or later the ones on the pedestal will have to come down to engage in such human activities as eating and making mistakes.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Grammy Award-winner Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson is a multitalented Aries. This child star turned Black Eyed Peas singer was born under a Libra moon, which bodes well for lucky and lasting relationships in both her business and personal lives. Ferguson's natal Mercury, the communication planet, is in musical, soulful Pisces. Venus is in Taurus, showing tenacity when it comes to love.
