Unfortunately, many must journey far in life for the feeling of acceptance and love while others are born into emotional bounty. The quest will be highlighted today. Mercury in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces form a water sign trine to bring spiritual connection, soulful creativity and luck to the realm of romance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You need to relax, but not completely. Right now one eye needs to stay wide-awake, focused on your next move. Otherwise, you'll miss a rather rare opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you have many hobbies it's easier to find ways of distracting yourself from negativity. That's why, even though there is little negativity in this day, it's still a fine time for cultivating new hobbies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You need a bigger team. This is the bottom line, the top line, and everything in between today. Get more people. You support so many! You deserve your own cheering section, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your fantasy life is rich now, but instead of planning your escape to a paradise island, use the augmented powers of imagination that are currently available to you to see some magic and wonder in your current scene.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's something you used to love, follow or ritualize that no longer seems to have a natural place in your life. It happens. You're different, it's different — things change. This is a good day for moving on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your mind will drift to things you said and did long ago. For better or worse, these things cannot be changed. When a loved one needs you in the moment, you'll snap right back to the now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Venture out alone and you'll succeed. Listen up and you'll hear the powerful and knowing voice of your own instinct. There's another voice around you now, as misguided as it is prolific. Block that one out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll get more than one chance to make a deal, though you should know that it is more favorable to act on the first one. Fresh enthusiasm will create momentum.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships are your gold. You're like an artist creating a masterpiece of personal connection. Tonight, new ideas will pop over your head like bubbles in a glass of champagne.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In those moments when you feel lost, try to remember that even the most confident people are not certain all of the time. Pause for a breath. It won't be long before you realize that you know more than you thought.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You expect something else from life than others are hoping for — nothing better, just different. Regardless of these differences, your interests will coincide nicely with the interests of those around you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Only time will tell whether today's move will bring you closer to the goal, but it won't matter. Either you believed in it or you didn't. You won't do anything until you're absolutely sure you can stand behind it.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). Inspiration strikes this month. All you have to do is relax and listen to others with an open mind, and perfect solutions will come. In December you'll fulfill someone else's needs while trying to fulfill your own. The new year brings romance and fireworks. You'll be acknowledged for a professional achievement in June. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 38, 1, 22 and 16.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Don't bother pursuing happiness, just create it. TAURUS: It's time to appreciate the one looking back at you in the mirror. GEMINI: Communication is a transaction. You really don't have time this weekend for those who don't get this. CANCER: Indefinite plans seldom come to fruition and that's why you make them only strategically. LEO: Being more compassionate toward other people is rather easy for you and comes with the added bonus of making you feel more compassionate toward yourself. VIRGO: Usually you love to introduce the people you enjoy to one another but right now you are feeling possessive of your friends and disinclined to share them. LIBRA: You appreciate that everyone is not on your schedule. That doesn't mean you should wait for people who agreed to share a certain time frame with you. SCORPIO: Talking with a stranger will invigorate your conversation with a loved one, even when these conversations occur hours apart. SAGITTARIUS: You've a good sense about whom you should get to know. CAPRICORN: You appreciate the person who tells you something other than what you want to hear. AQUARIUS: Anticipate the obstacles to love and there will be no obstacles to love. PISCES: With your mouth closed you'll pass through moments of misunderstanding and wind up with a deeper knowledge of the people around you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: With both the moon and Venus entering Libra this weekend, the draw between Scorpio and Libra will be intense. These two are next-door neighbors on the zodiac wheel and both tend to go headfirst into relationships. Libra is coyer than Scorpio, who gets to the heart of the matter quickly. Where there's chemistry there's often also a soul connection that Scorpio will waste no time exploring.
