Overwhelming water sign influences indicate either it's raining from the sky or it's raining somewhere in your psyche. This is a cleansing, growing phenomenon instead of a sad one. Grey clouds have their own kind of beauty. Recognize the poignant and temporal aspects of life. Savor the feelings that come up.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You get a glimpse of a lifestyle upgrade and your brain is suddenly spinning with thoughts about having this for yourself. You're not sure how you'll make it happen, but you're sure this is for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're almost positive that a decision a loved one is making is the wrong one. However, it's detrimental to comment at this point unless you're asked. Relationships thrive when you observe personal boundaries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wake up with different eyes. What satisfied you yesterday is no longer acceptable. You'll notice at least 10 things that need to change before you finish your breakfast and you're confident you can change them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're not in the habit of questioning your reality, however when a loved one has such a vastly different view of recent events from yours, it seems like the only thing to do. Toy with this idea: you might both be right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don't mean to send mixed signals, but you do anyway. Maybe subconsciously you realize that you're more interesting to the object of your affection when this person doesn't know quite what to expect from you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (NOVEMBER 7). You blend into whatever scene you choose to be a part of, but once you're there, others start to see that you have special and unique talents to offer. December brings great responsibility and you are well compensated for it. February brings a kind of love quest and relationships quickly get closer. Capricorn and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 4, 20, 14 and 33.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is supposed to be easy for you today, so stay away from those pressured situations that don't feel right. Instead of pushing to make something happen, back up a few steps. Nothing is urgent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'd like to believe that a relationship is etched in destiny and was always meant to be. Yes, you were always meant to share your heart, but you also have free will and every option open to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's so much activity during the day that you really need quiet and relaxation tonight. Turn off your brain and revel in a relationship that is filled with tenderness and affection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're in a mischievous mood and could pull a few pranks. You could also apply your cleverness to finding new ways to make or save money. There's an opportunity worth pursuing that involves Aries.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're in fanciful mood and will get carried away with your own thoughts. For blissful moments, life is like one of those old musicals where lovely dancers fan pink ostrich feathers as bubbles and harp sounds fill the air.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People may comment on your work, but you do not take this as criticism. It's all information that can help you get better at the thing you want to master. You're grateful for all input.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life requires you to be "on" and you rise to the occasion. You're mentally sharp, verbally astute and physically graceful. Maybe you're not required to work late, but you certainly have the stamina to do so.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: What you want and what your sweetie wants may seemingly be at odds, but there is a creative (not to mention sexy) way to work all of this out. TAURUS: If you hear the party going on, join in. Do you really need an invitation when there is a soul connection just waiting to meet you on the inside? GEMINI: You see that love interest at a distance and suddenly realize that you're wearing the totally wrong thing. You can't possibly let that stop you! CANCER: The way is made easy once you get your self-doubt out of the way. LEO: Have a pep talk with yourself in the mirror before you even think about leaving the house. VIRGO: Whatever the issue may be that is stopping you from making a love connection, it's all in your mind. LIBRA: The workweek has worn your psyche down a bit. Rest and you'll feel attractive soon. SCORPIO: The start of new love happens within an old relationship. SAGITTARIUS: You're stronger than you think and now is the time to risk your heart. CAPRICORN: Not one but two people are craving your attention. AQUARIUS: Your recipe for love is one part nice, two parts naughty. PISCES: Someone finds your sassiness ever so interesting.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Pisces have a lot in common. They are two water signs with deep feelings that believe that it's important to go to extremes once in a while to give emotions a chance to exercise their full range. Pisces tends to mold to whatever Scorpio wants to do right now, and enjoys not having to lead. Scorpio appreciates the vote of confidence and makes sure Pisces is treated to an adventure.
