ARIES (March 21-April 19). With every goal comes an automatic guidance system. So there's no reason to be afraid that you won't know what to do next. Just start, and the rest will come quite naturally.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone or something in your environment may cause you to regress. When you know, but you don't know that you know, you need a wake-up call. Sagittarius or Leo can provide this.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your powers of concentration are excellent. You'll do well with projects that require a lot of focus. Consider reconnecting with a former romantic partner. This person could provide you with a new source of inspiration.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Admit when you're wrong. It's a lot less painful and time consuming than going point by point over what you meant to say. With a little bit of truth-telling, hard feelings melt away like magic.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your approval puts a plan in motion. It's good to be king -- or queen, as the case may be! You're prone to passionate whims and could even take a spontaneous road trip. Responsibilities could magically disappear.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Remember your talent for negotiating sensitive terrain with style and grace. Others cannot articulate what you have the ability to say. But this is a "use it or lose it" kind of deal. Practice your diplomacy. Perfect it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a growing fascination with how other people live and love. The more in tune you are to how people interact, the greater your awareness will be. Pay attention to the subtext of a situation, and you become wise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can minimize negativity and maximize results by being sensible. Separate what is truly happening to you from the emotional baggage that might come with it. Attaining riches involves mastering the art of detachment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have intellectual property. Shine it up today. The things you say and the way you influence others stands out as an effective tool. Someone would like to learn your method.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some relationships boost your energy and others drain it. Observe the dynamics you have set up. Then release problems, and ask the universe to show you what to do. Walking clears your mind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes the only mature way to handle serious matters is to laugh out loud. Maybe no one else will get the big joke, but that's OK. If someone does understand your humor, this is a kindred soul indeed!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Instead of mixing business with pleasure, find one activity that falls into both categories. Creative people inspire you, and cynical people deter you from a bad idea. Comforts of home are featured tonight.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (August 25). The positive trend that starts with your birthday brings you new and improved self-confidence by the end of September. Be willing to speak your mind in October when you will have the attention of many. Your career takes off in January, and your finances improve soon after. Taurus and Libra are fans who love you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 45, 31, 23 and 2.
