BY FRANCIS DRAKE
YOU BORN TODAY You know what others want because you have your finger on the pulse of the public. (This is why you know how to appeal to people.) You have charm and grace, and you like things to go smoothly around you; yet, you also are attracted to danger and adventure! Family is important to you. This year, you will begin an exciting new cycle. Open any door!
Birthdate of: Stephen Gyllenhaal, film director; Anne Rice, novelist; Charlton Heston, actor/political activist.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19): You have a strong sense of anticipation and adventure today. You're eager to meet new people, see new places and hear fresh ideas. ("Look -- a bright, shiny object!")
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): Trust your moneymaking impulses today, because they could be original and innovative. However, these same impulses will create spontaneous purchases, which you might later regret. (Keep your receipts.)
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): The Moon is in your sign today, dancing with several other planets. This makes you feel stimulated and excited about life. You're eager to encounter fresh situations.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22): A restless quality pervades much of your day, especially toward the evening. However, this also makes you feel up for new adventure and ready for anything new.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): You might meet someone who is new and unusual today. Or perhaps someone you already know will say or do something that amazes you. Guard against mild accidents or indiscretions. (Oops.)
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): People in authority might be surprised by your actions today. If you want to stay in their good books, you might want to think twice before you say or do anything. Conversely, don't quit your day job if you are irritated with your boss.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): You long for escape and adventure! Grab every opportunity to learn something new or to take a quick trip. Go someplace you've never been before.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Surprise gifts and goodies might come to you today. Keep smiling, and keep your pockets open. Yay!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): A partner or close friend might demand more freedom in the relationship today. (Possibly, this person is you.) Try to be tolerant and flexible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): The introduction of new technology or high-tech equipment at work is likely today. However, computer crashes, canceled meetings and staff shortages also might occur. Allow wiggle room for everything.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): You feel highly creative today. It's a great day for the arts, playing with children and anything that has to do with sports and the entertainment world.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Stock the fridge, because surprise company might drop by, or you might impulsively entertain others. A family member might have interesting news to tell.
