YOUR STAR THIS WEEK

YOUR BIRTHDAY

Born today, you are in many ways a force of nature -- one of those whose inner strength and vitality are such that virtually nothing can prevent you from accomplishing what you have your heart set on doing.

Because you feel things so deeply, you can be both a best friend and a worst enemy — often with the same individual! Just as you are quick to anger, however, you are also quick to recover and reestablish amicable relations with others. Still, there are those who are not able to adjust to your shifts in mood with such alacrity. You can be impulsive and must take care that you do not endanger others by doing something without thinking.

Once you have started down a given path, you are not likely to stop until you have reached your destination. You are almost surely to face a good deal of hardship in your life, but it is nothing compared to what you would feel if you did not do what you are compelled to do.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 21 — JANUARY 20)

You've been learning from another, but today you'll want to try something entirely on your own. Your first attempt may fall short.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 — FEBRUARY 18)

You may have to be reminded of a few things today before you get yourself entirely on track. Never fear; others have your back.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 — MARCH 20)

Your enthusiasm for a certain project is likely to spread to those around you today; the team you assemble can surely be top-notch.

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

You are facing a complicated situation; before you jump in, you'll want to carefully assess certain peripheral circumstances.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

You have a choice today between doing something a new way and doing it in a way that is more comfortable for you. Experiment a bit.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

You'll be inspired by someone who has shown you how it's done on several occasions in the past. Now it's your turn!

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 21)

You'll win mixed reactions today when you do something that some have warned you against doing. Your success may attract criticism.

LEO (JULY 22 — AUGUST 22)

You may not be able to see something through to its conclusion today because of other responsibilities. Assign a trusted friend to take over.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 — SEPTEMBER 22)

You'll be challenged today by situations that arise quickly and change almost as soon as you are aware of them. Flexibility is the key.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 — OCTOBER 22)

The more you get right today, the more likely someone will try to stump you with an impossible challenge. You can make a game of it.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 — NOVEMBER 21)

Overconfidence can lead you astray today; be realistic in your assessment of the situation you face, and of your abilities.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 — DECEMBER 20)

Too soft or too loud — either one is sure to work against you today, so you'll want to moderate your delivery for maximum effect.
