YOUR STAR THIS WEEK

Born today, you are never likely to remain in the background for long, even if that is where you choose to spend some of your time. You are likely to be sought out to join the fray, to help others with whatever they may find difficult, and to put your unique brand of knowledge and interaction on display as a result. You are not bashful, and you will engage in conversation about nearly anything — and you know how to support what you say with empirical evidence that has often evolved from your personal experience. You are bold, up-front and willing to confront anyone who challenges you or your allies in any way. There may be those who say you are no lady — or gentleman — but the fact is that you are very much yourself, and that's what matters most to you and your loved ones.

When it comes to love and romance, you like to be in the driver's seat but you never do anything to put others off. Rather, you prefer to make clear your intentions and help the object of your affections do the same. You know how to take your time to achieve what you want. If you must repeat yourself today, find new ways of saying the same thing. Try every possible approach if you have to! It's better to be suggestive than direct today, implicit rather than explicit. No one wants to hear too much right now. Others are likely to be more receptive than you expect today, so why not try out one of those strange ideas you've been toying with lately?
