Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Watch where you point your beautiful eyes. Your glance is the stuff of poems. Your gaze could entice a tender heart, especially a Pisces. Do be kind.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Part of your day will be spent making plans for the next time you go out. You'll choose the event, what to wear and how to act. Then you'll shine.

Your lucky numbers are 9, 25, 41, 16 and 32.
