Happy birthday. The bonds of love will cement over a shared interest in the next six weeks. You'll stand in the August moonlight and proclaim your love. There's a fantastic bit of financial luck in September. Invest in yourself. October shows you changing a situation that no longer works for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): What's the deal? Can material things really make you happy? Today it seems like maybe they can, or at least they can make you temporarily giddy. The proper upkeep of your possessions attracts more to you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You put off an aura of power -- some would even say you are intimidating. An associate might be white-knuckled because of having to report to you. Put someone at ease, and they'll do their best work.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Couples hit their stride and work together beautifully. Singles: Look for someone who already fits your qualifications. Otherwise, you wind up in a romance based on molding someone.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Everything starts with an idea, but wishful thinking is just that -- take action! A Scorpio or Pisces could give you that push off of the diving board, but it's up to you not to belly flop.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You turn disharmony into something good. The tension makes you move, solve, forgive and love again. You'll do something excellent with the energy that springs from this situation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are quick to laugh today. When someone seems to be working to make you giggle, you might interpret the effort as a sign of deep personal interest. You would be correct.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You don't need to add anything new to your life. There is exciting potential in places you didn't think to look before. You'll derive great pleasure from exploring something that has been there all along.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): What started as a game will now feel much more serious, but don't worry, you can still change the rules if you want to. Decide whether to continue as before or try a new arrangement.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You've hidden your talents from those you sensed wouldn't appreciate what you can do. Now you'll let people know who you are, what you stand for and how you live.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When you're around a certain someone, you tend to let down your guard. There is something irresistible about your vulnerability, and it draws a certain someone nearer.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Unforeseen challenges will show up, and it's something that can't be helped. But what can be helped is your level of commitment. Decide to work through whatever comes and do what it takes to realize your dreams.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Does your mind keep following a line of reason that happens to be unreasonable? Ask for help in breaking the mental chain. Talk it through with a friend. You may be able to unravel this mental tangle with minimal effort.
