YOUR STAR THIS WEEK

YOUR BIRTHDAY

Born today, you are confident and capable, and you carry yourself with a kind of old-fashioned dignity that is rare — at least in the circles in which you live, work and play. You are able to keep things on an even keel; your knack for anticipating trouble is well known, and your ability to avoid it is virtually unmatched. When you do find yourself embroiled in something complicated, you acquit yourself well, trusting that your instincts will see you through. Indeed, the fact that you can remain so calm while others around you are falling apart is something that everyone can look up to and admire.

You're not likely to fall prey to uncontrolled emotions, for you have few — if any. You have tremendous willpower, and you know how to steer clear of anything that might prove too tempting for you. When it comes to love, you don't always make the right decisions, but you can almost always make the best of a wrong one!

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 21 — JANUARY 20)

What you accomplish with a partner today could never have been done solo, and you know it. Express your gratitude openly and honestly.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 — FEBRUARY 18)

You receive information from afar that may be suspicious at first — until further investigation proves to you that it is indeed accurate.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 — MARCH 20)

You shouldn't have to do more than you have scheduled today — unless, of course, you sense that additional labour can increase your returns.

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

No one wants what you want — and yet it may be difficult for you to get your hands on it. Is availability the issue, or is it something else?

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

You are moving in a new direction, even if you aren't aware of it yet or know precisely where it may lead. Your instincts are keen.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

What another does before you, you can do even better when your turn comes. This pattern continues for a while; you'll come out on top.

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 21)

You may hear news through the grapevine that, fortunately, is proved to be nothing but rumour later on. You don't have to change a thing.

LEO (JULY 22 — AUGUST 22)

That which has been already planned can proceed without delay; that which requires further planning may have to wait awhile to get started.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 — SEPTEMBER 22)

You certainly don't want to repeat yourself today, but it may be necessary to borrow from your bag of tricks to see something through.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 — OCTOBER 22)

You'll have the chance to explore unknown territory today. Take care that you don't expose yourself to a risk you cannot see ahead of time.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 — NOVEMBER 21)

You may be challenged to do something that requires you to overcome a basic, deepseated fear. Get a running start if you can!

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 — DECEMBER 20)

Slow and steady may not win you any races, but it will certainly allow you to pass through a danger zone relatively unscathed.
