YOUR STAR THIS WEEK

YOUR BIRTHDAY

Born today, you believe that all people are created equal and that success and failure should be the results of an individual's efforts, not the product of any unfair disadvantages he or she might have had to bear. You believe everyone has a right to be heard, and you will often work to ensure that others are not overlooked or ignored. You know how to rally others around a common cause, and you can inspire them to do great things. You are a born leader, but you don't always have to be in the spotlight; you are more than happy to take a position behind the scenes and let others play the major roles.

You treat others fairly and demand equal treatment at the hands of others. If you are wronged, you will do something about it; if you wrong another, it is almost always unavoidable in some way, and you are quick to make reparations. You know quality when you see it — in people and things.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 21 — JANUARY 20)

You may find yourself working closely with someone whose behaviour doesn't mesh with yours — but this can be worked to your advantage.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 — FEBRUARY 18)

Your offer of gratitude to someone who did so much to get you where you are will mean much to others as well as the intended recipient.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 — MARCH 20)

A minor sacrifice on your part is likely to pay off in a major way today — but take care that your loss isn't entirely a permanent one.

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

You may face more adversity today than you had expected; your inner strength and sense of resolve are nearing an all-time high.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

Where you are and where you are going may be much closer together at this time than you know. The last few steps shouldn't take any time at all.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

Someone you've had your eye on lately is likely to return the gaze — and what happens as a result may well be remembered for quite some time.

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 21)

One piece of the puzzle falls into place today, but that doesn't mean that you're ready to solve it. Take time to consider all options.

LEO (JULY 22 — AUGUST 22)

Others will be amazed by your creativity today, and many will be eager to join you in what can become a unique and valuable collaboration.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 — SEPTEMBER 22)

You may attract attention in a way that is very different from what you had intended. Others will want to take part in what happens as a result.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 — OCTOBER 22)

You have no reason to try to block any person or event from your memory at this time; indeed, trying to remember can prove most helpful.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 — NOVEMBER 21)

You cannot have it both ways today; you must either remain silent about a perceived injustice or come clean about your culpability.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 — DECEMBER 20)

You're not likely to believe the news that comes your way today, and yet there is something about it that will tug at your conscience.
