LITTLE ROCK — Happy birthday. You are in demand, and it will take skill to give everyone the love and attention they want from you. You’ll be pampered in October and will upgrade important tools in November. In January, your investments are seeds that you plant and then leave unattended. They grow naturally, and you’ll see your fruits in August.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It seems almost unfair the way it only takes you a moment to conjure up an image of your ideal scenario, but it can take a lifetime to bring this imagining into reality. Don’t worry. Your current dream won’t take quite as long.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have the ability to plant a lovely thought in someone else’s mental landscape. Put something there that is conducive to growing in the unique conditions of a friend’s world.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Short breaks are a good idea, unless, if given the choice, you think there’s a chance you won’t come back to finish your task. You are on the final stretch, so don’t give up now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): When you observe people, sometimes you can read what they are thinking as clearly as if they were cartoons with thought bubbles. Today will bring several such instances.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): While dealing with artistic types, keep in mind they can be insecure and often need a good deal of praise and nurturing. Actually, it helps toremember this in all of today’s dealings.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The most important job to do is the one you agreed to do long ago. It might not be the most glamorous job, but its importance cannot be argued. Your future good fortune springs from this work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You could still make your aim, but if you fall short, it won’t be by much. So stay friendly to yourself.You’re much further along than you would be if you hadn’t made a goal at all.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Delayed reactions are a normal part of life. For instance, you may not even realize how you feel about today’s events until a week from now, when the excitement has blown over.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are in high gear all day. Your friends will regard you as some kind of superhero, even though your tasks are mostly domestic and there are no villains to fight.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Of course you want things to work perfectly at all times. And yet, it’s when things go wrong that you will really shine. People notice. You will likely be promoted, praised and paid for the way you behave under pressure.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some are content with the information they are given.You like to know the backstory of those you meet. Go easy on the questions, though. You’ll learn more through observation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The ones who have something to teach you are not always wearing classroomappropriate clothes and carrying textbooks.You’ll get valuable training from an unlikely person.
