Sounds trigger emotions. There is heart-opening music in everything around us — the hum of traffic, the bell of the cat's collar, the reassuring wind through trees. Big emotions come through larger orchestrations. The lunar relationship to Neptune has us turning up the songs of our childhoods and the soundtrack to our fantasies, too.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Making money has more to do with finding a niche and working it than it does to any kind of luck right now. This will start with a special interest. There's something very specific you're wonderful at.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone falls into ruts from time to time. If you're no longer going forward, look for something that will help you lever yourself up, out, and onto a path that allows for greater ease of movement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you're in love with at the moment may not be a person at all. This feeling you have makes everything outside it less important, including issues or problems.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Savoir-faire will move you along a career path, give you standing in a social group or position you in a family circle. Acts of diplomacy will advance your interests faster than any aggressive play could.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). With the introduction of a new person to your circle, a subtle new enthusiasm will take hold. Where you were having negative and neutral thoughts, only powerfully positive feelings will remain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Breath is the anchor to life. Your breathing has a story to tell you. What makes you catch your breath? What makes you hold it? When is it deeper? What makes you exhale? Awareness of breath is awareness of life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're the real deal, walking your talk every day. Since you're always ready to meet and impress powerful people who can help you achieve your aims, it would be impossible for a networking opportunity to catch you by surprise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you get the subtle feeling that being around a certain someone makes you a better person? This isn't in your head. There's an energy bump that comes with this person's nearness, and you're making the most of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've kept your word and should not accept anything less than integrity from those around you. Love is a risk. You're not going to take risks around people if you don't trust them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There's trouble that pains you and then there's trouble you enjoy. You're ready for a little of both and it will come all wrapped in the same venture. Of course, you wouldn't even attempt this is the prize wasn't worth it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you turn away from the external goings-on and journey inside yourself, you won't be alone, as there are worlds inside of you, too — some even more compelling than the one you're experiencing on the outside.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Not all of the offers are excellent now. There are some opportunities you simply can't get excited about, and it's acceptable to leave those on the table for someone else to take advantage of.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 11). Your intuition feeds you a constant flow of legitimate information. Some of it doesn't make sense — the intuition can be irrational and figurative — and that doesn't make it inaccurate. Even if your only reason for saying "no" to someone is that you don't feel right about "yes," it's reason enough. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 1, 13 and 17.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm desperately in love with a Cancer woman. We've eaten lunch together, and I've gotten to know her pretty well, but what she mostly wants to talk about with me is her ex-boyfriend who she still sometimes sees and is definitely hung up on. I'd like to ask her out, but I don't know if she'll say yes, and I'm afraid that it will ruin the connection we already have. What should I do? I'm a Scorpio."

You are in a terrible position with this Cancer woman, considering that you want to date her. You've already established yourself as a crying shoulder. That role should go to her mom, her therapist and her girlfriends. It will be very difficult to turn this around since she already thinks of you as a friend. However, you're a Scorpio — the sign of transformation — so you should be able to manage it. Stop being available and friendly. You can be nice, but keep your distance. Start dating someone else and make sure she sees you with this person. When you finally make contact again, flirt and show your attraction to her immediately. But keep it light and short. Be the first to leave. Have a few flirtatious encounters like this before you finally ask her out.
