YOUR 2003 FORECAST
Much of what happens to you this year both confuses and amuses, Virgo — but that isn't necessarily bad. In fact, prepare to celebrate!

MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT

Wow! Come August 24, you enter an amazing Jupiter transit, which has the effect of relieving many of your mental, physical and spiritual pressures and replacing them with a great joie de vivre. Say goodbye to annoying muscular aches and pains and hello to renewed hope and spirit! Dental issues can be successfully dealt with after June 4, when Saturn's movements cause health concerns to ease up.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Friends who haven't been all that supportive are about to surprise you in a big way. Hold tight on May 30, when the solar eclipse suddenly throws your social life into a whirlwind! Fortunately, it's temporary, and you recover by June 5, when Saturn shifts and stops beating you up. An ongoing problem with a particular family member should slowly but surely smooth out by mid-June.

LOVE AND ROMANCE

Love is exciting but challenging this year. Things are bumpy until Saturn moves into a more favorable spot on June 4. Romance ebbs and flows until August 24, when Jupiter enters your sign. Then, presto! You are suddenly Ms. Popularity. This is a perfect time for a serious commitment, engagement or marriage — just not on November 23, the day of the total solar eclipse.

CAREER, MONEY AND MORE

Sorry to say, but you may have to scrimp, save and generally budget for the first half of 2003. The good news is that as August 24 — the date when Jupiter, the planet of abundance, is set to enter your sign — approaches, you start to notice a big change. By the beginning of July, your financial obligations begin to lighten, and much of what you were stressing over becomes a mere memory. You end the year on a high note, both career- and money-wise.
