The Capricorn moon rules this Valentine's Day, and it couldn't be a more traditional placement! The classics go over so well — chocolate, roses and candlelight, hurrah! And what about marriage? Ah, yes! Proposals happen tonight, and it's "cinema-rific"! Be careful not to swallow that dessert too quickly. There could be a ring in it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your subconscious needs to work recent events through. You'll be productive in your sleep. Take measures to prevent anyone from awakening you from tonight's dreams.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you fall from a fickle friend's grace, this is a temporary state. Consider that this person may be manipulating you. If you remain unflappable, this person won't try this tactic in the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're an integral part of a developing project. Even if it seems you can't have much of an impact now, your astute input will soon be needed — desperately. Don't give up now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's an amusing day for business. Funny things happen when you're trying to make a profit — or at least break even! Maybe those memories are your real proceeds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You say "tomato" and your counterpart says "tom-ah-toe," but stylistic differences aren't enough to keep a budding romance from blossoming. It's your differences that attracted you in the first place.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14). Your contribution to the world causes favorable change. This month brings the validation you've been waiting for in your professional life. March is about forging mutually beneficial relationships. A new interest blossoms into a summer moneymaker! Romantic ideas become real in July. You have a cosmic connection with Taurus and Libra people. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 32, 10, 35 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're talented. The sooner you can admit this to yourself without laughing or accusing yourself of narcissism, the sooner you can tend to the business of helping others with your talent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've worked up an unselfconscious charisma, and you're ready to dazzle. Give a presentation. You're a hit. Consider committing to a mutually beneficial collaboration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People teach what they need to learn. Actually, you don't even know what you know until you attempt to teach it. The perfect student walks into your life — perhaps a Cancer person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Higher-ups are expecting fabulous things from you. You not only have what it takes to deliver on your promises, you can also fulfill unspoken hopes. Go conjure up some magic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don't have to understand someone in order to love him or her. Surrender to the complicated beauty of your object of affection, content to remain mystified.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You belong. Your contributions matter. You're vital in the lives of others. And what's more, people are inclined to serve you, as embarrassing as that may be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your No. 1 priority always gets finished. If you think that the thing that is accomplished by day's end was actually not your No. 1 priority, you're mistaken. This could cause you to shift priorities.

HEAVENLY HEART MATCHES (PART THREE) — What does each sign need to be happy with a partner for the long term? SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius is not a love for the faint-hearted — this dynamic sign is looking for a fellow adventurer. But if you enjoy staying home, it's not a problem for Sagittarius, as long as you're willing to let him or her strike out solo without getting too jealous! CAPRICORN: Are you a star when it comes time to meet the parents? Capricorn requires a mate who can naturally fit into the extended family environment, as well as be an asset on the professional front. Trust and intimacy starts with shared values and interests. AQUARIUS: Aquarius can stick with a partner who has purpose and a defined mission in life. This purpose and mission may change — that's OK — as long as there is one. Also, those who think about the bigger picture continually inspire Aquarius. PISCES: Pisces is entranced by a multidimensional love affair. Physical attachments are meaningless without an equally strong mental and spiritual connection. Also, Pisces is looking for someone with the power to move Pisces emotionally.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Aquarian people are innovators, and Ice-T is known as the father of "gangsta" music. Artists like N.W.A. and Snoop Dogg followed in his footsteps to create what is now one of the biggest moneymakers in popular music. These days, Ice-T spends much of his time acting in movies and on television. His Mars in Capricorn foretells a long and lucrative career.
