HOROSCOPE

Your birthday today

Get scientific about your life. Decide which metrics are meaningful. Professions of love will come in May. Libra and Scorpio people adore you.

Virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

You have to invest in yourself to move forward. It's knowing when to stop that's the hard part these days.

Libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 23 Should you work to enjoy the now you have or the future you don't? Now is as certain as certain gets.

Scorpio

Oct. 24-Nov. 21

Hang on through the tense parts of the day in the knowledge that they will pass soon. These little conflicts are unavoidable.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

So, you don't know what to say. Maybe that's because there's nothing worth saying in some situations. When words can't help, silence is more eloquent than speech. Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You will be in an experimental and curious mood. Maybe it feels a little purposeless, but sometimes the purpose can be just to play around.

Aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Maybe it's not important that you focus in on one thing. You are all over the place when you tend to things you love, but it will come together.

Pisces

Feb. 19-March 20 Powerful people know the secret — that roles are assigned — nobody gives out power.

Aries

March 21-April 19

The faster you react the less you think. Marketers will try to use this to their advantage. Walk away.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

You started out like a groupie, and now you are like a critic. Getting what you love will do that to you.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Be careful about what you praise, because what you praise may grow. Also, what you praise really signifies your values and taste.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Your visceral response to music or another work of art that lands marvelous on your senses will speak to the importance of art in your life.

Leo

July 23-Aug. 22 Asking for feedback will be useless today. You are a powerful creative presence, and no one wants to rain on your parade.
