Have you ever fallen for a robot? It’s a stretch, but it could happen during Venus’ trip through the freethinking realm of Aquarius. Her first stay in Aquarius was so terrific that she’s back for seconds within the same year. Venus in Aquarius is a friendly placement that bodes well for platonic love, as well as the sharing of ideas and dreams for the future. The spirit of invention thrives during this transit, and it’s not uncommon that people fall in love with devices such as computers, cell phones and satellite television.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve been so disciplined in one area of your life that another area might slip. You’re likely to dip into an old style of behavior that you don’t want to keep. Maybe it’s calling an ex or eating a food that’s bad for you. Whatever the infraction, you’ll get right back on track and be better off for what you learned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re attracted to those who have achieved great skill in an area you would like to master. Your attitude of reverence toward these people is not only flattering to your subject, but it also helps you to learn. You listen better and pay attention to the minor details, which is where the real magic lies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sharing will reinforce your belief in an abundant universe and multiply your fortunes. However, this is only true when you feel fantastic about your donation. Grudging gifts do nothing for the giver or the receiver. Seek people and causes with which you want to be generous. You are rich in so many ways.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Work brings both elation and frustration, and most importantly it brings money. Whether it is enough to even out the equation will be your big question of the week. Bounce a few professional ideas around on Thursday and Friday. You’ll figure out how to get a more consistently positive experience out of your job.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An act of benevolence comes easily because you really are the bigger person in a situation. You’ll probably come to the conclusion that your efforts have very little to do with the other person and are more about proving to yourself who you are. Your confidence grows as you touch the limitless breadth of your spirit.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: This year you learn to stop worrying about things that are beyond your control as you get into the habit of bringing yourself fully and completely into the moment. This month you meet many new people, and someone who will immediately contribute to your career picture is among them. In January, practice moderation in all things, especially work. Moves and lifestyle upgrades are featured in April. Your loved ones make you proud in March. You’ll be celebrated in June.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re usually solid in the self-discipline department, but you’re not currently doing what you said you wanted to do. Address the crucial issue of motivation. Perhaps your aim is not exciting enough. Think bigger. Thursday is your lucky day to decide upon a meatier, juicier goal that will push you to work harder.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a few burning issues to get off of your chest and must be extremely careful about how you do it. People who can really keep a secret are rare, and you don’t need everyone knowing the intricacies of your life and feelings. Better to scribble in a diary and lock it away than to risk your privacy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A storm gathers inside your psyche. Your mind gets so busy that your thoughts create electrical static. Take hold of your inner dialogue and calm it down or on Wednesday you’re likely to blow up at someone when you don’t mean to. To get focused on the highest and best, pare your task load down to a short list.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The muses are definitely with you as you sort through problems and create opportunities. Try to sustain Monday’s imaginative mood long enough to record your inspiration in some way. The weekend affords you the open resources of time and energy so you may lavish your attention on a fledgling relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The networking you do this week will increase your power and financial status. With your easy charm you cultivate lighthearted friendships. The more connections you make, the more leverage you’ll have at your disposal. On Saturday someone grows fonder of you and wants you all to him or herself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You provide such an obvious uplift to those around you that you will be asked to champion and cheer on groups and causes. You’ll have stellar ideas on Thursday and will be able to execute them quickly if you follow your initial impulse. When inspiration strikes, start at once, whether or not you are ready.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re thrust into situations that help you hone your social skills. Your confidence and presence get so much attention on Friday it’s almost embarrassing, but don’t try to deflect a single bit of it. Truthfully, you’re giving more than you get, but it’s so effortless for you that it just feels like you’re being spoiled rotten.
