STAR TRACK

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Relationships hold great potential now, but only if you remember that you're seeing everything through a subjective filter. Distinguishing your dreams from the actual events in your life may be more complicated than you realize today. You don't have the whole picture yet, so don't make any promises you will regret later. Ask questions and listen closely to the answers, but don't miss the unspoken messages in between the words. Making a commitment is wise only after you have a solid grip on the current dynamics.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You start out the day with so many choices that you could feel slightly lost. In fact, sorting out all the possibilities may be so overwhelming that you throw your hands up in the air and walk away in frustration. You might even set aside the facts in favor of pursuing your desires today. Ironically, this ill-conceived strategy can actually work for you now as long as you remember that you still must contend with reality sooner or later. In the meantime, following the vagaries of your imagination could prove to be an amazing journey on its own.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although you're able to put your faith in a friend or partner today, it takes more than one person's optimism to get you through the day. An emotional drama can become quite convoluted, especially if someone's feelings contradict yours. The good news is you don't have to agree on every issue; instead of focusing on the differences, concentrate on the similarities. All it takes to successfully sidestep an unnecessary conflict is to share a common dream and give others the benefit of the doubt.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even if you are feeling under the weather today, you can still rely on your performance skills to successfully execute your agenda. Imagine reaching your goal and then discuss your vision with others as realistically as possible. Painting the details of your plan in your mind's eye helps you get started but you must take the next step and verbalize your ambitious ideas to launch your dream. Intention plus hard work equals magic.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

You might be pleasantly distracted by a flirtatious encounter today. However, confusion stems from your inability to untangle your desires from the reality of the interaction. It's nearly impossible now to tell where the hard edges of truth crumble into the creative fabrications of your imagination. There's no harm in a little romance as long as no one's feelings get hurt, including yours. Wait for clarification from someone you trust before you hand over your heart to the wrong person.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Let go of the smallest details today because they will not matter much in the long run. Try to loosen your grip on your daily routine; going along with the flow can have an immediate beneficial effect on your selfesteem. An authoritative approach naturally invites backlash. However, a hands-off style prompts your friends to be more encouraging of your goals, which increases your optimism. You can enrich your experiences now by allowing the energy to unfold without micromanaging each and every moment.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Your artistic creativity may be soaring to great heights now, but you must consciously stretch to reach for your vision with all your heart. However, even if you're not aesthetically inclined, you can still use your charm to get what you want today. Tread carefully and pay attention to the feedback you receive from those who have your best interests at heart. Don't assume that others share your dream until they tell you their true feelings. Figuring out your next move will be a piece of cake once you know where everyone else stands.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

You are standing at the threshold of a dream now, but you can't tell where it will ultimately carry you. Subconscious streams of messages are flowing into awareness and you might wish to act quickly on what you envision. But this isn't the time to just ride the currents of your imagination. Practice controlling your mind so you can take your creativity to the next level. Keep your thoughts on track and turn today's fantasies into tomorrow's reality.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You may be confused about what's true today. Your smartest strategy is to suspend judgment now if you cannot tell what is real. Just accept your perceptions as you would if they were scenes in a movie, without feeling any emotional attachment. The bad news is hasty decisions you make might have to be reconsidered in just a few days. Wait until reality sets you gently back on the ground before choosing your new direction. In the meantime, color your world any way you want.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Your contributions around the home are acknowledged by those close to you today, even if you aren't working very hard. Ironically, being appreciated for your extra efforts presents a problem if you don't think you deserve the recognition. Meanwhile, your current positive attitude tempts you to overextend your reach, especially if everything is looking rosy. Remember, it's more important to conserve what you have now rather than dreaming about your achievements in the future. Counting your blessings is always a good place to start.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

Your mind is roaming to the distant edges of your imagination today, dreaming of exotic lands and traveling to other galaxies. Luckily, there's no reason to deny your desires since you are hearing the call of a great adventure -- and this is a perfect time to respond. Extrapolate on your most fantastic thoughts and use them to write the next chapter in your life. Mystical Poet William Blake wrote, "What is now proved was once only imagined."

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

You may be feeling pressured to let go of an impossible dream today, but it's tempting to hold on to your sweet fantasy no matter what anyone else says. Nevertheless, you might suddenly waver and conclude that a more practical approach will serve you better. However, anything is possible now, and your visions could actually begin to materialize if you accept them as real. Don't sell yourself short; even if you run into resistance, imagination rules. Master Michelangelo extolled, "Faith in oneself is the best and safest course."
