STAR TRACK

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You may be chosen to run an errand this morning. Wherever you are needed, you are the one that carries through with the responsibilities of the day. Use this quality of carry-through to create a raise or a promotion. You can draw out a demonstration of how people in the workplace depend on your expertise or reliability to be present and on target with your problem-solving abilities. If it is not the co-workers, it will be the customers that treat you with high respect and you deserve the very best. It may be that you have not gotten your raise or promotion because you have not said much at your employee reviews. Now is the time to be heard. Review your accomplishments and show appreciation for the opportunities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

There may be some conditions to meet if you are to receive a raise or promotion, but higher-ups have been aware of your good works for some time. Financial matters will have your attention in a positive way. The need to be respected is an emotionally charged issue in your life at this time. You are at your most practicalyou know just what to do and can act without hesitation. You are called on to make use of your natural abilities and common sense. Incomplete communication with coworkers can be misconstrued today. Do not take it for granted that other people know what you are saying. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Tonight is a good night to socialize with loyal pals. Perhaps you will add to your friendship list.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

More and more you will be hearing about shortcuts to better budgeting. You will be discovering all sorts of new ways to increase your finances. Most important for you is to stand in front of that desired product and ask yourself if you really want to spend the time and energy it takes to earn the money that will pay for that product. Of course, food is one thing but the pretty twinkle or new toy may be the basic item to reevaluate. You will be able to give good advice when others ask how you manage so well. Although it's of short duration, you may find yourself puzzled or blocked with regard to some work situation. After lunch, you will be able to gather your thoughts and find a solution. A stranger brings you luck on your way home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

As much as you like to be unencumbered, you may find yourself slowed from making any real progress as far as goals are concerned. At this time you will find that your greatest successes come in conquering your doubts. You will succeed by your willingness to complete whatever you have begun. Your intuition is strong-let it guide you. Understanding more about your individuality can be one of the most positive experiences in your life and it empowers you to learn more about other people as well. This is all a question of balancing yourself through mind, body and soul. This is a quest that is truly worthwhile. Children have an extraordinary ability to love unconditionally. If possible, allow a child to occupy your time this evening.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

You may find yourself teaching this Thursday. Perhaps you do substitute teaching and find it a rewarding way to balance your time. Your influence can be helpful in the forming of an individual's future plans-particularly today. Through helping a person, you may perceive how to proceed with plans of your own. A work project needs a team leader and although you would love the responsibility, it might be best to go with a diplomatic vote. Your dreams have been very insightful recently and you may seek out a good friend that will help you decipher the meaning of your dreams. Consider placing a notepad near you so that if you awaken because of a dream, you can take notes and check it out the next day. You may glean some good insight.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

You are at your mental best with sharp ideas. This is an excellent time to make decisions and take care of any incomplete work. It is not yet your time to shine in the limelight, however, so be content to perform any necessary functions without the fanfare or outward enthusiasm from others just now. This should be an extraordinary time for expressing your creativity. A class in creative writing, glass etching, beadwork or some such could be a lot of fun and brings in a little extra money as well. All in all this is a very good day for accomplishing whatever you set out to do, as well as to be creatively expressive. If you ask, a friend or mate might enjoy taking a class at the same time, allowing the both of you to visit and talk about your new craft.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

There could be questions coming your way today concerning how you maintain your cheerfulness or how you cope with certain difficulties. You seem to have a grasp on the ability to create a balance in your life and you have the energies and determination to stay with your strong standards-the energies of the universe work in your favor. You could easily become a mentor to others. Opportunities to expand your thinking through further education may excite you and a chance to join with a friend or teammate confirms any question about you carrying through with this endeavor. This could be a time to make changes in your environment. You may have insights or breakthroughs with regard to your life circumstances. Others value your enthusiasm.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

You may read about some profound changes in the legal system or in world affairs or in space exploration. You could spend quite a bit of time catching up on all the news that is available to you this morning. Some new information can be useful in the workplace. A recent psychological study confirms what was already obvious to you: the sound of the human voice indicates mood, demeanor and intention in many situations. You are good at deciphering the truth of your customers' search and are able to help with suggestions for purchase difficulties. The voice indicates satisfaction or frustration and you are able to create a positive outcome. Learn how to relax periodically and clear your thoughts through art or music.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You could be asked how you keep a cool attitude in difficult situations. Your attitude is that life is too short to worry for very long and this attitude, although it may seem carefree, actually brings about a confidence in decision making. You are a fine mentor to others and can help guide many people into positive directions. Today seems like one of those days where you are asked to guide others more than usual. This helpful action of yours does not assuage you from picking and choosing. Time is important to you and since no one person is given any more time in a twenty-four hour period than anyone else, you set the example of how to allocate your time. Round table discussions are positive and much progress is made in planning and developing new ideas.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

This is a good day. You are at your most practical when it comes to dealing and working with others. You could feel great support from those around you, or circumstances could dictate whatever action will be needed. This is a very lucky day for making plans and finding your way through just about any problem you may discover. This afternoon is a good time for helping the elder members of your family. Be aware of the tendency to become overconfident as you give your elders information or ideas. You will be wise to appreciate the independence that we all need. You feel that you can solve these problems. Good advice from a guide, however, may be given some thought. There is no place like humble! Someone gives you tickets to a future event.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

This is one of those very busy days. Some may have called you foureyes, nerd or a dork in your youth . . . Now, you are the one that everyone needs to talk with and from whom they need an opinion. You may also find yourself in a variety of surroundings. You may travel around town to different homes and businesses in order to fix technical problems. If you are working within a company building, you will find that new projects and proposals keep you active with interesting co-workers. You will be quite pleased as the day progresses and work keeps you busy. You should squelch a tendency to overindulge in foods that you know are fattening or otherwise unhealthy. You gain more of an interest in diet and nice clothes that fit well.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Moving with the flow will be easy to accomplish this day. You can count on assistance from others for whatever projects need your attention. A trade could be made if your teammates hesitate for too long. Your instincts for success are strong and you may notice that you have more energy now than usual. You may actively be concerned over the welfare of others. One complainer may have more than you hear at the root of a complaint-listen carefully. You have such a pleasant way to solve disputes that you are often sought after for your insight. Tonight, you and your family work on a plan for improving family finances. Any young people in the family need to learn budgeting and you are a good mentor. Consider a reward system.
