As yesterday's full moon in Gemini is on the wane, the sociable fast-paced moon won't stop. It's still in full-tilt boogie-mode with the comings and goings of holiday travels. While an adaptable attitude wins the day (and a quick ticket home), the Gemini moon sharpens our senses and increases mental flexibility — traits we appreciate en route.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have stellar plans that require the participation of and cooperation of at least three other people. Consider what's in it for the others before you make your pitch.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A relationship passes from the glowy phase into something much more reality-based. There may be turbulence with the transition, but this is a signal of positive growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You seize the chance to show off. You're not doing it for yourself — you do it to encourage others to come out of their shells and do the same. It's more fun when everyone sheds pretense.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Start assembling a team for your special project. (To take on the whole thing solo would be unnecessary martyrdom.) Strongly consider your fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The experts agree that you're one of them. This means you'll be asked to help, which is more like fun than work. You love getting the chance to be generous with your time and skills.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 25). The whimsical way you approach this year is very effective. Creative ideas you hadn't considered in years past are put into action, solving a few formerly persistent problems. January, you put your new attitude to the test, letting go of old patterns and embracing a new, easygoing style. Pisces and Aries are especially loving. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 53, 24, 38 and 1.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The music of the spheres plays a simple melody heard in the smallest details of nature — a leaf, the buzz of a bee, the lapping tide. When you connect with nature, you connect with self.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The word "amazing" is now commonly used to describe even the most ordinary pleasant interactions. However, today you'll have an exchange that truly is jaw-dropping. Now, that's amazing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're luckiest with people, deals and environments that allow you space to grow. Sign nothing. Ask as many questions as you can think of. Anyone who is threatened by your curiosity is suspect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It's nice to be included, especially by people you find interesting. So be outgoing. You'll have to make more of an effort in the beginning, but soon you'll find that you fit right in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The path is long for those who choose to take the long way. And it's short for those who recognize the shortcuts. Ask around if there might be another way to get where you're going.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Taking full responsibility for those little things in your life is a joy. Groom your pet, water your plants, and shampoo your rug. Your reward from the stars will be a brilliant idea.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Forgiving and forgetting are the same. If you say you've forgiven but you still hold the grievance against your loved one, you haven't gained the full benefit of forgiveness. Go the distance with your love.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: This week, Venus and Neptune intermingle, and we rendezvous on a mystical quest for everlasting love. Venus is romantic and idealistic in Libra, appreciating adornments of love and rituals of romance. With Neptune, she longs for emotional happiness, the sweetest reward of love. Otherworldly and mysterious, Neptune is divine love. We feel Neptune's mystical, unnamable allure in song, poetry and any art that connects us to timeless love. It's said that Neptune's music could divert a river's course and even make the rocks and trees dance! In one story, Orpheus's (Neptune's) wife unexpectedly died. On a magical lyre, he played a timeless song of love and loss and conferred sympathy from the gods, becoming the only living being ever granted access into the underworld. His healing song invoked such compassion from the god and goddess of the underworld that they promised to give his wife back on the condition that he not look back — which he did. Neptune teaches soul-deep faith in our ability to transcend the appearance of circumstances — even death. Your creative gifts have magical healing powers, helping you reach the souls of those you love. This week, tap into your longing for love.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Fiery Sagittarians are motivated by adventure, thriving in careers that allow their self-expressive and robust spirits free reign. Christina Applegate has her sun, Neptune, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius — here's a lady who needs a lot of room to roam. A founder of The Pussycat Dolls, showgirl dancing is sporty, flirtatious and delightfully Sagittarian.
