Create a relaxing space to find peace within.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Business transactions go well. A meeting brings you to the attention of the top people. If you are willing to turn out superior work even though the pay is inferior, you will soon be recognized and better compensated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your senses are tuned into opportunities, especially of the moneymaking variety. When the right combination of players comes together, your eyes turn into dollar signs. Tonight: A dream-sharing session is priceless.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your friends are important to you, and now you have the chance to be there for one who needs generous, spontaneous help. Tonight features unusual stimuli and surprises.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Time is money. Don't waste either by letting others bend your ear with useless or negative information. Financial luck comes in roundabout ways and through friendly connections.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you may need to have a serious heart-to-heart with one of your key people, do avoid using the scary, clich? "We need to talk … " approach. Tap into that casual charm you're famous for.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). Your ambitions are realized. This month is about getting focused, dropping distractions and remaining guided by your top priorities. Next month, you'll have more money to work with, which makes your way easier. You feel so loved because of what happens in January. You could move or change jobs in May. Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 3, 11, 25 and 46.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have magnetic and hypnotic powers and may be, without realizing it, influencing someone to do your bidding. Tonight: Extreme self-care pays off with good health.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Contrary to popular belief, the phone is not a living creature and will probably still work fine without someone hovering around it 24/7, tending to its every ring. You need time to yourself without the electronic tether.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You give people what they want, and they appreciate you for it. What's more, it's easy for you! Because, for the most part, you want the same thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You feel more yourself with a certain someone than you do when you're alone. Figure out what's making you so vibrantly "you," and do even more of it. Capture the feeling even when you're going solo.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Get to work whether or not you're "feelin' it." Sometimes you're inspired, so you do the work. Other times, you do the work and the inspiration comes later — or it never comes. But at least the work gets done!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Group dynamics are like high school today! People pair off, whisper and scheme. Cliquishness doesn't bother you because you fit in with everyone. But be sensitive to more insecure souls.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Is it true it's best to have medical tests done during a moon void? Where can I find out when the moon void periods are?"

By definition, a moon is void when it makes no aspects to any other planets before it enters a new sign. The popular opinion is: If you initiate anything during a void-of-course moon, nothing will come of it. If you have fears over the results of a medical test or a dreaded meeting with your boss, some astrologers suggest scheduling that type of appointment during a void moon— for the things you'd prefer to have no real consequence. However, even when a void moon is sailing free and clear in the sky, it can still aspect planets in the last degrees of a sign in your chart. Since the moon is always forming some type of angle to someone's chart, one must consider that it's never really void for everyone. The best way to note the affect of a void moon on you personally is to consult a moon-phase calendar, note the void moons and reflect on what happened during those time periods.
