HOROSCOPE

YOU BORN TODAY Fairness and justice are important to you, which is why many of you become politically involved. You want to expose fraud and hypocrisy. Privately, you are fun-loving, creative and adventurous. You believe in living life fully. Whether you seek it or not, you are often a leader for others, especially in society. In the year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be of primary importance.

Birthdate of: Clive Barker, writer; Colin Meloy, singer; Karen Allen, actress.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19): You're tuned in to the needs and wants of others today, which makes this a good day for heart-to-heart discussions with partners and close friends. (You will listen well.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): Double-check important details related to money at work today. Because things are fuzzy, it's easy to make mistakes, especially because you assume everything is just fine.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You're in touch with your Muse today, which makes this a great day for artists, writers and anyone who's doing something creative. You'll also feel sensitive to children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22): If you can help a family member today, you will. Basically, you want everyone at home to have a warm feeling in his or her tummy.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Because your psychic powers are strong today, you'll know what someone is going to say before this person speaks. This makes dealing with others easier.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): This is a poor day to make important financial decisions. You're inclined to go along with your wishes, but wishing is tricky when money is involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): You'll be pleased to read romantic literature or watch romantic comedies today, because you feel like escaping. You also feel extra sensitive to the world around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Trust your intuition today. Although this is a poor day for practical, financial details and decision-making, it's a good day for hunches and second-guessing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): You'll be pleased to join efforts with others to help someone in need today, because your sympathies are aroused. You might feel you have something strongly in common with someone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): When dealing with authority figures (bosses, parents and the police), be careful what you say today. If you express how you truly feel, you might sound corny or flaky. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Mystical, religious or occult subjects will intrigue you today. You want to know more about hidden knowledge and esoteric wisdom. (There is more to life than meets the eye.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): In a way, the world is like an impressionist painting to you today. This is why it's not a good time to make important decisions about shared property, wills and legal documents.
