aries march 21-april 20
There's a strong sense of swimming against the financial tide this month. A promising offer lurks in the depths, refusing to either surface or float away. Taking a more business-like approach in all dealings increases the flow. Around the 18th, last-minute re-writes in the romance scenario give you pause. Best to take a step back and re-evaluate this relationship. But you're on solid ground by the 25th, a time when you can radically change your outlook.

taurus april 21-may 21
Take shelter from the storm early this month. The safest refuges are also your favorites: love and money. Someone near will bolster your ego and help you with a financial dilemma. But around the 8th, your boss or bank manager may not be so kindly disposed. Focus on long-term planning from the 12th on. Strategy, not your strong suit, now makes you highly effective. You can pretty much set the pace late in the month.

The script just won't gel - not until your planet, Mercury, stops working against you on the 9th. In the meantime, relax and refine your strategy. Mark the 12th as a time to incorporate enticing romance into the scenario. The wanderlust also beckons, and you may head off to where there is sun and sand.

Chaos reigns on the set until the 9th. But you get clearer, more welcome messages from someone close after the 12th. At last you can end your silence and let your views be known. The 25th marks a make-or-break time in the job or health matter. Everything you say or do is critical then. Confronting some intense feelings could help clear up many issues.

leo july 23-aug 23
Emotions are running high, with many plot twists that aren't to your liking. Watch your ad-libs, as an off-the-cuff remark could be more cutting than intended on the 9th. But do give voice to the creative solutions that strike you around the 17th. Your ideas are right on target, especially on the job. One may even put you in line for a raise in status. After the 21st, get ready for a cycle of delightful socializing. Meanwhile, a romance reaches the point of no return.

virgo aug 24-sept 23
Your patience wears very thin until the 3rd. You can bear with stagnant or unfulfilled ambitions no longer. Make no rash moves before the 9th, after which most impediments are removed. Until then, impersonate serene self-confidence. A love scene around the 15-16th leaves you longing for a retake. With a little effort, you will get a second chance to make your feelings known. But commitments made around the 25th tend to become engraved in stone.

Matthew McConaughey - Scorpio born Nov 4, 1976, 
Uvalde, Texas

  Like many Scorpios, Matt's got the kind of drive it takes to overcome just about anything. No wonder he's known as one of the best self-promoters in Hollywood. After all, he was able to land a prize role in the big-screen adaptation of John Grisham's A Time to Kill while still a virtual unknown. Matt has a soft spot for the ladies, and tends to over-idealize those he sees as potential partners in life.
  His boyish charisma is set to go into the stratosphere this year. Look for him to play fewer action roles. He will be asked to take on more romantic leads, and will shine brighter than ever in them. He should just resist the urge to hold out too long in contract negotiations. He may miss a very big boat.

libra sept 24-oct 23
Those around you keep pushing you to get involved in interesting new projects. But nothing really appealing appears until the 12th. Remember to give all that comes your way a solid reality check before going into production. You yearn for more solid financial progress. Circle the 19th: that's when the tide will turn. You're more open about your true desires late in the month. Still, it may have to wait until after the 25th for the love boat to reach safe harbor.

scorpio oct 24-nov 22
It's another month for make-or-break situations, your forte. They spice up the screenplay, but can be hard on your nerves. Much is left unresolved until the 14th. After that time, friends and colleagues pick up their cues and play supporting roles. Be glad of the assistance, but don't let yourself be upstaged. Love is sweet, and possibly clandestine, around the 22nd. More promising prospects appear after the 26th, and the 30th could be thrilling.

sagittarius nov 23-dec 21
You're all fired up with no particular place to go. Until the 9th, it's best to stay put. One outlet: thinking of sweet nothings to whisper would be a good idea. You'll need to have some good romantic lines ready around the 15th. After that time, would-be mentors appear in the oddest places. Do take all you hear with a grain of salt. But you can revel in star billing just about wherever you go. Make the most of all opportunities - laugh, mingle, feast.

capricorn dec 22-jan 20
Until the 9th neither tact nor brutal honesty seem to get you anywhere. Blame it on the planet Mercury adding confusion to your business and professional life. Around the 11th, a tabloid-worthy romance could begin. Think carefully before getting involved in anything that could lead to gossip. There will be better fish in the sea come holiday season. You're set for some heavy thinking after the 25th. Your insights are clear and deeply meaningful.

aquarius jan 21-feb 18
Those close to you make unrealistic demands, assuming you want to sacrifice your ideas for theirs. Others just muddle orders and schedules. After the 9th the confusion lifts, and you're in charge again. Bonus: you could land a very nice new job offer or assignment. The passion quotient soars around the 17th; then becomes sweet and serene after the 25th. It's also a power time on the job, when your creative thinking meets with cheers.

pisces feb 19-march 20
Your best-laid plans go awry until the 9th, then begin to unfold as they should. Most schemes involve entertaining, a subject high on the agenda all month. From the 10-12th, romance takes a very serious turn. Ready or not, promises will be made that you'll be expected to keep. Other people at work are re-writing the script. You'll have to speak up if you want a more prominent role. Expect ample action and romance in the scenario from the 24th-27th.
