The moon in Gemini has so much to say, you may feel his presence around the proverbial water cooler, burning through the phone line or chatting up the neighborhood. So many words, so little info. It's the connection that counts. Hopefully, it'll be pleasant, friendly and funny. Also, Venus in Cancer promotes a loving family exchange.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). By practicing what you're good at, you make the world a better place. Not necessarily because your labor bears fruit, but because when you use your talent, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your curious eyes search into dark shadows, around blind bends and into souls of strangers. There's little you can't see or know if you're determined. Some are charmed by your powers; others are afraid.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is no bland day. A year from now, you'll still remember it. There are clear choices before you. The stars suggest that if you're going to tell people the truth, at least be funny.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In fleeting, forgetful moments you feel lost, as though there isn't a person on earth who knows how to get you to where you're supposed to be. Then, you remember your purpose. A Taurus helps with this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your inventive approach to work adds a higher level of sophistication to what you produce. Minor daily tweaks over the range of a few weeks result in a huge impact and even a raise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Beware of a friend who is of the "fair weather" variety -- interested in you for your status. This person worships the ground you walk on, so long as that ground is covered by a red carpet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're socially very successful when you break the rules of etiquette. Your informality makes others feel comfortable. One person in particular is deeply endeared.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You might be too close to your work to step back and identify the "you" in it. So when someone comments about your work, listen carefully, noting how they experience you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A competitive associate has to strain to keep up with you. Does knowing this make you feel smug? Probably, but don't show it. Humility is what turns colleagues into fans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do you feel you've been passed over by the powers that be? Your time is coming, dear Capricorn. Be nicer to yourself, and you'll attract the attention you're looking for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Beware of those who say you're "so lucky." You spent your whole life working up to this moment. Luck had very little to do with it. Align with those who understand how unique you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Follow your own instinct. It may be wrong -- some instincts are. If you're going to make a mistake, at least let it be your mistake and not someone else's.

Thank you dear FB/Oracle. I wonder who that "fair weather friend" is. Hm. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Mr. Pierce is in our corner as well as Brian Robb who is running for council in ward 3. Mr. Robb is an engineer from Ford's and is quite familiar with problem solving and working within finances. With him on council, Ypsi won't have to hire expensive and wasteful auditors to 'study' every little proposal.

The stars align for a weekend packed with sweet, familiar and close interaction. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is coming into a favorable position in relation to abundant Jupiter. Those whose hearts are healing make much progress without doing a thing beyond accepting the love, respect and care of others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What sets you apart from the crowd now? You have a mind, and you know what it is. Speak up. You'll attract followers. Together, you can get a project finished -- finally!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A modern version of a knight in shining armor or beautiful damsel in distress is featured. Though you're usually not interested in the melodrama of saving anyone or being saved, this could be an irresistible scenario.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A new person you meet -- maybe an Aries or a Leo -- opens a window into a marvelous part of you that lies concealed under your daily routine. Once this aspect of you is freed, there's no going back.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). We all have the power to heal. One of your astral gifts is a greater awareness of this power, accompanied by the certainty that exists within you and an intuitive sense about how to develop it. Your gifts are put to good use today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Brilliant things happen when you get together with a friend. You experience a spontaneous freedom outside of conscious intention. Some would call this "chemistry." All you know is, you'd like to experience more of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Contrary to the evidence you have collected, your family more or less understands who you are. Try to connect with the invisible cord of love they extend to you now. Know that you're accepted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your usual role as a provocateur might get you into trouble. You might wisely choose to soften your opinions around sensitive people. You're not being false. This is just a kinder, gentler version of yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's time for another one of your famous "reincarnations." You're so skillful at subtle but effective changes that the transformation may go unnoticed except on the (all-important) subconscious level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Build a margin for error into all of your endeavors, and you'll feel as though you've been liberated! This helps you get to appointments on time -- no excuses, especially not the one about "traffic."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's so lucky to set up meetings. There's almost no one who won't take your call. Also, being available for last-minute assignments brings extra bucks or gets you noticed by VIPs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some people thrive on controversy. Not you. As drama-mongers come into your world, keep your distance whenever possible. Silly arguments are a waste of time, breath and life essence. Say "Stop!" and walk away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The stars show you interested in what is out of the ordinary, "trippy" or paranormal. Did you ever consider that you may appear as a ghost in someone else's world? In which case, you'll be a lighthearted, humorous ghost today.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Jupiter and Venus promise love is there for those who believe in it, look for it and acknowledge it. ARIES: Take care of your own needs. You can't have a tea party if there's no tea in the pot! TAURUS: You're cherished and only need to recognize that someone has an odd way of doing this. GEMINI: Whatever you do, do it in high style -- skimp on nothing. CANCER: Your love relationship has a bright future. LEO: Quality people are attracted to you.

Knowing what you want is what brings success. SCORPIO: A partner who admires his or her own family is ideal. SAGITTARIUS: You're accepted by a new crowd, and this favorably affects your romantic life. CAPRICORN: Delicate egos require sensitive handling -- be diplomatic. AQUARIUS: You're happiest when your company is mentally stimulating. Look for people who challenge you. PISCES: Love motivates you to improve in any way you wish.

How very apropos Funny Bone is: "So many words, so little info." Political races are usually like that, but especially this one.

It's the new moon in Leo tonight, so make your royal plans! Upgraded vacation packages are happening all over the globe, and by the end of tomorrow, there will be no more room in the first class section of the airplane, either. Imagine what life would be like if you truly felt you were the king or queen of it -- then make those imaginings happen.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). On creative, free-flowing days like today, the idea of "scheduling" is a joke. Submit to the whim of your muse. It's amazing how quickly your ideas come to fruition when you act on them immediately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As a Venus-ruled sign, there are certain environments, resources and people you must have around you in order to be your very best. The world provides when you're specific about your needs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You achieve a state in which you're compelled to do what is best for you. This feels strange and selfish. Maybe it's about time. The heavens sing when you follow your bliss.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Go with what you naturally sense is important. Otherwise, you're going with what's important to someone else -- and that's where it all goes wrong. Assume you're worthy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your desire to be a part of a family is highlighted. You can instruct and enlighten the younger members as to the history of the older members. You're the bridge between generations and indeed worlds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What happens is like a scene out of a movie. You feel like a bit player, but you're actually the star. Deliver your lines with conviction. All eyes are on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may as well label yourself an "unsticker," because anyone who is stuck will be promptly unstuck after coming into contact with you. It doesn't take much -- your famous compassion does the trick just fine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Experience the energy flow. You're just about the only one who can see it. Others are stymied, without a clue as to "what just happened." Later, you'll have a lot of explaining to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're the great appreciator of the zodiac. You admire those who create beauty, but you forget that you have that power, too. This is your opportunity. Be magnificent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're discovering new ways to bond with your team. They want desperately to be a part of what you're doing but will require instruction. Dare to be bossy -- it won't be interpreted as such.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). With tremendous empathy, you'll raise your loved ones up. It's not your responsibility to make others feel better, but rather, it's your pleasure -- you might even say it's your "calling."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone needs encouragement from time to time -- and your time is now. Anyone who doesn't cheer you on will stick out like a sore thumb. Push the "eject" button -- you'll attract a new supporter in his or her place.

Are you on fire with optimism? Do people finally seem motivated to scratch your back as you have been scratching theirs? Does the disco song "We Are Family" play in a corner of your mind? Then you're grooving with the Leo solar transit. Take your plans to the next level while both the sun and the moon are playing in the realm of the fat cat.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your lust for experience is activated. This helps your work, too, since the only thing that stands between you and your dream job is the knowledge that comes from diving in and getting your hands dirty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have much to say, though it's inappropriate to do so. Holding your tongue is akin to sitting on a volcano -- difficult at best, and probably futile, as well. Instead of complete silence, use a few choice words.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People flow into and out of your life like the tide -- with several demanding your attention all at once, and then nothing. Take advantage of the "nothing" moments by connecting with what YOU want for a change.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're self-assured and insightful. These qualities attract people who either need your help or are curious about what you might be able to tell them. Promise nothing, and everything you deliver will be considered a gift.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As children of the sun, Leos intuitively know that nothing is really out of reach. Though the sun is 93 million miles away, it caresses your skin or burns you, as the case may be. Today, be aware of that which influences you from afar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The masculine and feminine polarities affect your day. You could get accidentally caught up in a battle of the sexes or struggle to balance these energies in your environment at work or at home. Try a little tenderness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your tendency to overthink things comes into play. When you feel yourself "going there," it's time to kick back with a lemonade and listen to the radio. The answers drop into your brain when you're on break.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A dangerous quest is featured -- though the level of danger is completely up to you. Note that some would consider giving your heart to someone the riskiest venture of all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've been holding on to some emotional baggage that isn't even yours. So drop it easily by the wayside or send it off like a cannon. It makes no difference, as long as you let it go.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's the salesperson, not the product, that makes a sale. Promote an idea with all the enthusiasm you possess, and it is sure to catch on. The day ends on a romantic note.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're delving deeper into the fine art of listening. Today's lessons include being sympathetic and trying to understand the other person's point of view. Your rewards for doing well are quite rich.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Finally, you can get your body to cooperate with you. Remember that you're first and foremost a soul, animating your earthly shell. Through spiritual work, you can heal, strengthen, balance, expand, contract and dance.

Thank you, kind Oracle, for your as-always helpful guidance. As a child of the sun, I intuitively know that nothing is really out of reach.
