Aries (March 21-April 19): You will create something strictly for your own pleasure and will be surprised at how many others get joy from your creation. Taurus (April 20-May 20): It takes confidence to be succinct. You have a gift for getting to the point. This is an act of character and strength.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today it seems possible to be younger in every area of life. Live the levity you feel.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Trying to do things the “right way” is moving the power away from you. Double-check what’s “right.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The move that puts you ahead today is a move toward information. Inform yourself, as this will put you in a position of choice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll provide a kind, welcoming face to those who normally may not have such a thing in their realm. This is will be a gift.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 26): Your cosmic birthday gift will be the addition of a number of new characters in your story, people to know, trust and love. This team will help take you where your heart has longed to go. Other highlights: an artistic breakthrough, being the envy of friends as you arrive somewhere in style and a cash prize. Aries and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 21, 2, 17 and 44.
