HOROSCOPE

YOU BORN TODAY You live in two worlds: Outwardly, you appear debonair, charming and sophisticated. Lighthearted, even. Yet inwardly, you are serious, dramatic and dark. Nevertheless, you're amazingly productive and creative. You live life intensely and never hesitate to act when you know what you want. In your year ahead, a major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what might have occurred around 2004.

Birthdate of: Dean Stockwell, actor; Eva Mendes, actress; Rex Harrison, actor.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19): Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today. People feel irritable and uncooperative, and they certainly are not inclined to agree. (Oops.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): Disputes about shared property, mortgages, loans, taxes, debt, insurance matters and anything you own with others are likely today. It is much better to postpone these discussions until tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Discussions with partners and close friends are all over the map today. It will be difficult to nail things down and come to an agreement. Therefore, wait until tomorrow; the vibes will be much better.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22): Today is full of delays, shortages and silly inefficiencies. Goofy mistakes will be frustrating. Fortunately, tomorrow is a more productive day. (Courage.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): This can be a creative day if you have the patience to deal with setting up whatever you want to do and doing the work to get the results you want. Nevertheless, little errors will plague you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Relations with female family members are touchy today. This is a very poor day for sensitive discussions with anyone. Run away! Run away!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): This is a mildly accidentprone day, because you might be distracted by your own angry feelings about something. But this means you have control over the situation. Patience!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): It's easy to be quarrelsome about financial matters and cash flow. You also might quarrel about a possession or the ownership of something. Chill out.

SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is at odds with fiery Mars. Look out, world! People are short- tempered and impatient today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): You might be doing a slow burn about something. You're upset, but you feel you can't speak up. (This is always frustrating.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Avoid angry words with a female acquaintance today, especially in a group setting, because you will regret it. Just back off. Take note: Tomorrow is an excellent day to make plans.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Don't get lippy with authority figures today, because you could end up in hot water. (The only thing that should be in hot water is a teabag -- certainly not you.)
