Happy birthday. New friends will invigorate, charm and amuse you. You'll commit to a difficult job, and what you'll have accomplished by the end of August will make you proud. Your talent will get the spotlight in September. November and May are romantic times. Your family will expand in June.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There are times when you're such a naturally good listener that you don't have to work at it, but more often it takes a conscious effort to listen well. The extra effort will pay off.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There's a string of meaning running through this day, a thread that seems to call out a particular theme. You'll have fun deciphering this cosmic code.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You know that your experience of a person is not the whole picture, and you enjoy learning the back story that helped form a person's character. A key question will unlock the history.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): There are many mysteries to solve -- way too many to solve in a day. Gather your questions in one place so you can ponder them deliberately. One stroke of genius may answer many questions at once.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have an excellent sense of what will be important to another person -- it's as though you precisely measure the emotional weight of things. You'll use this skill to give what's needed and get back what you need in return.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You want to be memorable to someone, and therefore you will put thought into making your moments together stand out. Act on those ideas.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You realize when the old energy is dying and it's time for something new. Keep yourself and others from falling into a funk. Take control and lead your partner or group to revitalization.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Take the breaks you deserve. If you don't, you risk burning out before you reach your goal. There is no fast without slow. Slow it down if only to prove that you can.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You momentarily may have lost sight of what you were projecting to the world, but what you get back today will clue you in again. You'll quickly get attuned to your own attitude and the attitudes of those around you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): That vendetta you've been carrying around with you? You don't think of it all the time, but today it pushes its way to the top of your secret agenda and fuels your success, which is, of course, the best revenge.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You build on what your partner says, and it goes back and forth, gaining intensity until the final idea is reached. This process can be extremely constructive as long as you both focus on the positive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You love to be productive, and this day won't disappoint, as the action buzzes along, overlapping in such a way that you may not be able to account for all that has happened until way after the fact.
