If you believe there are things in this world far greater than yourself, guides, angels or a unified spirit, then you're attuned to the realms of Neptune. As Mercury channels those higher forces today, the line between the physical and spiritual blurs. Whatever you direct your attention toward will magically manifest — if you only believe.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The decision is yours and yours alone — for a limited time only. If you decide not to make it, it will be made for you. Either way, you're taken care of, so be happy and worry-free.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You undergo a mental work out, in a fun way. It might be a friend who likes to play games, or a difficult customer at work that causes you to exercise your mind in new ways and solve the problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wish that getting organized was something you could do once and have it stick forever. Alas, your life is always changing, and you keep finding new and improved ways to manage it. Delight in the process.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is some comfort in knowing what tomorrow will bring. There is also some boredom. Stay receptive to the surprises. Otherwise you're apt to sleepwalk through the best parts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're focused on staying healthy. Your opinion of yourself has the biggest effect on how you feel, both mentally and physically. Spend extra time in the mirror. Find appreciation for the gifts you were born with.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (SEPTEMBER 19). It's your year for making powerful investments. Wherever you put your time, energy or money, you get a generous return. Relationships of all kinds improve in October and by November you'll be asking, "Could this be love?" January beings an unexpected and wonderful diversion. Capricorn and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 37 and 15.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're laying the groundwork for your future. It's extra work now and you may even stress yourself out in the process. Lighten up, but don't stop this effort. You're doing excellent work that will pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Is this day hectic, or simply fast paced? It all depends on how you look at it. Keep repeating the affirmation, "It's just a situation, and I can handle it." Then approach one dilemma at a time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel like hamming it up. Step on the stage of life and put on a show. You'll boost morale and provide some much needed levity to a group of people who were starting to get way too serious.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You give and expect more than the average person. Be slow to commit to projects and people now since you're likely to let your responsibilities consume the best of your attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's going to be difficult to stick with any goal that requires you to downsize or deprive yourself. You're more likely to succeed by adding something wonderful (or practical or healthy) to your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Friendships matter to you. In fact, you're probably more thrilled by platonic attachments than any other kind now. Furthermore, the most important element in love relationships is a strong friendship.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have nothing to hide. As far as you're concerned, your life is an open book. However, you're better off not reading that book to anyone today. Keep the mystery alive.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You're the love catalyst for bringing two special people together this weekend. TAURUS: Someone impresses you with their know-how, and you're all ears. GEMINI: You keep things light and playful as a friendship shows signs of moving into more intimate territory. CANCER: Let your creativity direct weekend activities. Your imagination holds the key to making romantic wishes come true. LEO: You're happiest on the move, flitting from person to person, sharing your sparkle with everyone you meet. VIRGO: It's in giving the best of yourself to others that you really, finally receive. LIBRA: A relationship topic opens, and you settle in for a longer discussion. SCORPIO: The telepathic link between you and a loved one makes deep communication possible without ever saying a word. SAGITTARIUS: At least two people vie for your attention, and there's enough of you to go around. CAPRICORN: Stay engaged and centered in the present moment and the riddles of your heart fall away. AQUARIUS: It's by pushing past your worries and fears that you discover the courage to love again. PISCES: You take the sour with the sweet in love and your relationships are richer for doing so.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: With the sun in their sign, Virgo people have been busily working toward manifesting their desires. If Virgo wanted to relax and hand over the wheel to someone they trust, they might try looking to a reliable Cancer. Cancer people of both sexes are natural nurturers, and in Cancer, Virgo finds a devotion and tenderness unmatched by any other. The Virgo-Cancer connection is a perfect match!
