The classic tenet of business is supply and demand. Saturn represents the supply, and Venus drums up the demand side of the equation. Venus and Saturn in opposition highlights the changing way people are making money. Discipline is still necessary, and so is the basic attractiveness of a product, person or idea.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Virtues to live by now include stillness, silence and simplicity. If they're not working, perhaps the best thing to do is just give up for the day. Get a night of refreshing sleep, and see what brilliance you can come up with tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The company of special friends will fuel you. Even though they adore you just as you are, being around them makes you want to accomplish more and be the person you are in your mind's eye.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're a stellar communicator. But sometimes things happen to remind you that the way to be even more effective is to listen more, talk less. Your receptiveness can transform an ailing relationship.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Many irons in the fire give the illusion of productivity, but is that actually the case? Take a few irons out, and you'll find that suddenly you're on fire with results! Enlist the help of a Sagittarius person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The planets offer zany distractions — but resist! Stay involved in what's important to you. Otherwise, you could get behind and be anxious and cranky instead of your usual sunny self.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22). Feeling different from everyone else is a human condition. This year you learn to be uplifted, instead of discouraged, by what you perceive as inadequacies. Chances are the very thing you wanted to change about yourself is simply adorable. Next month, you knuckle down and finish a tough job. Leo and Taurus people are key team members. Lucky numbers are: 10, 33, 20, 52 and 12.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your mind is filled with information that would be useful to others, if only they'd tune in. Break everything down into small, easily digestible bites to make your message clear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's what you do in the world, not what you do in your prayers or meditations on a yoga mat, that helps you grow as an individual. However, such moments of reflection will help you make the right choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're being mysterious again. With every sentence you utter, there's another unspoken sentence that's only understood by someone who knows you intimately.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're generous. Still, when it's other people's money you're spending, you don't want to be disrespectful. When others trust you, you honor their trust, and for this you're rewarded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A shrewd economic approach will serve you well. But be extremely generous where love is concerned. Negotiate on paper instead of verbally to avoid confusion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Assignments are lucrative, especially the ones you give yourself. Have the courage to be unorthodox, innovative and special. Someone close is dropping fairly obvious hints.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Keep working. The discipline you apply to one area of your life spills over into other areas. Virgo and Sagittarian colleagues encourage you. Tonight your secrets are revealed — what a relief!

FORECAST 2007 — AQUARIUS: It's an enterprising, courageous year in which you take your pie-in-the-sky dreams down from the sky and eat them on your kitchen table. This requires, above all things, faith. LOVE: A new way of looking at the people in your life allows you to love them the way they need to be loved, instead of how you need to be loved. This difference causes a romantic plot twist in March. Your finances and career impact your love life in interesting ways in July. Creative solutions bring you much happiness. CAREER: There's a benevolent boss, customer or investor who helps you get work pumping at a higher intensity through the summer. Perhaps this person even funds your education or business start-up. ADVENTURE: Your best time for exploring comes at the end of August. Long-distance travel turns out to be more fun en route than arriving at the destination. FINANCE: Opportunities are a direct result of your estimation of what you can do. Therefore, visualizing and imaging your money matters improving is crucial to your success. April brings top dollar for your work. Marketing is everything in July. It's a winning move to appear in the most attractive light possible, even if it's expensive.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Aquarian Alicia Keys has taken fans on a musical journey for more than five years and now hopes to broaden her own artistic path by dipping her talented digits in the acting world. The upcoming "Nanny Diaries," co-starring Scarlett Johansson, will prove that Keys is as much a thespian as she is a musician. I see the personal side of Keys reaching a high point over the next two years as well.
