STAR TRACK

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your independence will be showing today. You may find yourself drooling over anything new, unusual or different. Your routine may be wearing a bit thin and you look for ways to change some things in your life. You want anything that is different. Although you are a bit restless, you seem to have enough common sense to create for yourself a timetable within which you can complete all the changes you are wanting: a new apartment or home, perhaps new furniture or somewhere you can have a fireplace or a time-share place in which to vacation. You are tempted to charge your purchases, but instead will hold fast to the reality that anything is possible in time-perhaps not overnight with the flash of a card. You set a good example as you remain in control.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Being calm, cool and collected may take some effort today. You might take a step back to see a particular situation from a different perspective. Perhaps you will see an opportunity to relax in a different environment for a short while. After a break, sensitivities are eased and life returns to some sort of sanity. Perhaps more rest, perhaps clearer conversation, a pause in time is certainly a wise idea. Serious conversations might be better served another day. Being on the go and keeping an ear to the ground help you to feel that you are keeping in touch. Learning and communicating with others delight you. This is a time when you may decide to express your creative side. You might share a joke, a puzzle or a poetry book.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A greater regard for things of value and even the idea of value itself is the order of this day. You may find yourself really getting into the spirit of the season. You shop, lunch with friends and shop some more-do you have a list you may find an interest in antiques or some type of artwork. This is a very enjoyable time-one of high energy and high hopes. Perhaps the mall you are visiting has gained more customers than usual. Local talent gains the attention of much of the community. You and your friends enjoy the local talent as you weave in and out of the stores. You may be thinking that you could be a singer next year. Make sure to make periodic trips to your car so that you can store your packages in the trunk of your car. Dinner out is fun tonight.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You realize now, it is time to make some long-needed changes in old habit patterns that you have kept for way too long. Variety can be the spice of life. Keeping busy with new and positive activities is essential to making positive changes in your life. Becoming complacent is conducive to staying in one place too long and requires that your position be rethought. Accruing new information and expanding your way of doing things will be like a breath of fresh air, once you become acclimated to the changes you make. Now is a good time to get in touch with your inner self and understand how you feel about who you are. All those times you held back comments become less and less of a problem-you are learning about a new positive you.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

There may be someone around you who does not appreciate or possibly understand your rather eccentric behavior; a close friend or relative will be supportive. Young people learn from your actions today. Anything uncommon or extraordinary will be what captures your interest. Allowing your creative and intuitive nature to come forth will pay you back in big rewards and dividends. New solutions to long-held problems may be among the benefits. Something very inventive may surface. Allowing variety into your life will help to keep you from feeling bored with your everyday life. Change is inevitable. In your case, change is necessary for self-preservation. Do not allow yourself to become out of touch.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

You might like to socialize today-fun will come soon enough. For this morning, responsibilities that you set for yourself are knocking at your door. You will see things through and then be free to enjoy the fun stuff! You may find that you can accomplish quite a lot if you take one project at a time. Understanding your friends and understanding people in general brings about an understanding of yourself. You enjoy the new friends as well as the old ones and you seem to choose the most positive-thinking people that come into your awareness. You are comfortable in being a friendly person. This evening you allow yourself to enjoy a fun social opportunity that is available to you. Among your friends, you find opportunities to let your light shine!

Libra (September 23-October 22)

You may find that there is some important personal business that requires your attention this morning and then you will have the day to do with as you please. An ethnic poet, storyteller or educator that you have been curious about is performing in town. You and perhaps a friend or two should be able to enjoy this endeavor. You may decide to take a neighbor's child with you. Perhaps this is a way you have of enjoying and sharing with the people around you but sometimes your generosity is just simply enjoying the simple, uncomplicated happiness that comes with youth. A brother or sister, or perhaps your own children, all combine to make a merry little band. This evening you change hats, so to speak, to be with your friends, creating good camaraderie.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

You should find this a good day for just about anything that your heart desires. Those around you should find you very natural and vital. Communicating with others and getting your message across is at a high. This is a great time to be in the company of other people both personally and in a work situation. Your ability to manage and direct other people puts you in a good position to assume the responsibility for a special job. Perhaps today is more of a volunteer day to help at the local hospital, nursing home, etc. A truly earnest effort, along with your hand and eye coordination, makes just about any task run well. This is a great day for getting things accomplished and for doing good deeds. Emotions are well within your control.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Thinking back over the years, you can see that small achievements are to the credit of the influences and mentors that you have had in the past. The efforts made by others in your youth to set an example or expand your cultural awareness made you wise beyond your years. You are grateful and may seek to acknowledge those that you admire. Idealists, politicians and business executives influence you. You reaffirm your personal morals, ethics and ideals. You begin to work to educate or support people and projects that create that feeling of pride in yourself, your family and your community. Love, money and charitable causes get your adrenaline flowing. You are proud of the influential position that you establish.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

To feel cared for and needed is a comforting thing. You will find that those relationships you hold closest are more powerful and important. Being alone and lonely is just not your favorite thing to be-you like people around you to help reinforce the feeling of caring and sharing. You could easily find yourself looking for something in the romance department, or at least finding enjoyment from some emotional release. Feelings and movement are appreciated. You could find a great deal of satisfaction from just getting out and about and walking or exercising. Your ability to communicate well with others is a positive, particularly at this time. It is your turn to reach out and touch someone. Plan a get-together with friends soon.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

Singing about happy days may be part of a song, but the words present the feelings of this day. This may be because you feel all of the love and affection that surrounds you. There is a big chance for you to understand those around you and to have a special time with someone you love. This is a happy time. You place value on that which is principled and forthright and you have a particular dislike of what is secret, intense or private. People are listening when you talk because of your persuasiveness and eloquent way with words. Self-expression works well for you just now, lending itself to your ideas and thoughts. Today you look for gifts that fit the needs of the special people in your life. Tonight is a time for visiting.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

You may feel that you are caught up in a situation where you must choose a path without knowing any details or circumstances. If you are in a vehicle, you can have a bit of comfort in knowing that one is never really lost-just perhaps on an adventure. Though you would love to be out and among friends socially, your timing could be off just enough to cause you some problems. Why not stop and consider a change of plans-it could be a very positive thing. Let others know what you have decided and then enjoy the rest of the afternoon-perhaps a movie or a bit of shopping. Laugh a little! You have done well this year where finances are involved. This year you did not necessarily make more money, but you were wise with financial decisions.
