Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today fair Venus is in your sign dancing with wild, wacky Uranus. This is why you are bored and want to do something different! Do whatever is stimulatin­g and unusual so that you are interested in what’s going on. Introduce some excitement into your life! Meet someone new!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Hidden love affairs might take place for some of you today. Or perhaps it’s a casual but clandestin­e tryst? (Exciting!) Others might discover secrets they least expected to learn because something going on behind the scenes will surprise you in an unexpected way.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) This is the classic day to meet a real character who becomes your friend. Or perhaps someone you already know will do something that amazes you. That’s because your interactio­n with others, especially in groups, is full of surprises.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be shocked by a flirtation with your boss or someone in a position of authority. (Who knew?) Or you might have a pleasant encounter with someone “important” that makes you feel good. Be on the lookout for good news today. (You are loved.)

If Your Birthday Is Today Actor Oliver Platt (1960) shares your birthday today. You are inspired by beliefs that appeal to you; and once inspired, you are committed. Choose your career carefully because it will have a strong hold on you. This year is one of growth and building. Because this will take place quietly beneath the surface, wait until next year to make major changes. If you can reduce your overhead, you will strengthen your financial position.
