ARIES (March 21-April 19). Habits change. The improvements are small but meaningful. You're like the squirrels, putting away a few "nuts" for the winter. While you're at it, stash away a few pleasant thoughts about all that's occurred this month.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're working so hard today that you could lose yourself entirely. Who are you? You're no longer a person but a machine. You'll get back some of your human qualities tonight, especially if you spend time with a Virgo or a Libra.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The No. 1 way to blow a relationship is to assume someone is meant to be yours and yours alone. Reserve a sense of wonder about your sweetheart, even if you've been together for many years.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're a love magnet. You know better than to test a partner with your worst behavior. When you need to, you can lay on the charm and lay it on thick. There is no shortage of admirers around you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's one of those days when you feel like you're in the eye of a hurricane. You wake up and wonder, "How did I get here?" and everything you do is that much more vivid because it's so unfamiliar.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you tell a joke to a group of people and only one of them laughs, hone in on that one and don't let go. People who get you are of a more intelligent strain and should not be wasted. Comedy is in the mind of the beholder.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wow. This is it. You have a few things going on in your life that you love and a few more that you're working toward. You might even say that you're happy. It only gets better if you share it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your signmate Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, claims that he didn't set out to achieve any kind of wealth or influence. Your recent interesting endeavor has the potential to blow up and take over your life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're not completely innocent when it comes to relationships. Hearts have been broken, expectations dashed ... but hey, if you can't take the heat, get out of the fire, right? Defending your position is part of the deal today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some people just aren't comfortable unless they are hiding a bunch of emotional stuff under their dry, sarcastic humor. You may relate to these folks very well now. You may, in fact, be one of them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel daring, enthusiastic and spontaneous (after you've had your morning coffee). A conversation with the funniest person you know is in order. Someone tattles on you tonight.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whether your helplessness is an act or not, people like to take care of you now. Sit back, and let them. Giving is its own gift. Questions of style arise, and you won't go wrong by being completely understated.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (September 29). This year, you finally get the leg up you need to go to the next level of financial comfort. Your finances are only showing personal developments -- you know you are deserving. Keep using the language of success, and successful people are in turn drawn to you. The connections you have with Scorpio and Taurus are fortifying in many ways. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 11, 32 and 18.
