Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Honesty requires that you pay attention to what's going on in a relationship. When you don't know, ask. And when you think you do know, ask. It's better than going on an assumption.

Your lucky numbers are 4, 33, 38, 19 and 11.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Just because this weekend looks similar to last weekend, it doesn't mean it has to be dull. Leave room for the possibility of changing your mind.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You're trying out new roles, like world's greatest romantic. But beware: You'll be expected to keep it up. It's easiest to stick close to your natural tendency.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are feeling possessive of your friends. Those who want to know more about them may annoy you. Remember there is enough love to go around.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Indefinite plans won't come to fruition. Even if they did, how would you know? Be specific. Say what you want to happen, with whom, how and when.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone is standing in your way. This isn't an enemy, but a friend to help you sharpen your skill and make you think bigger. Furthermore, you don't have to knock him down. The road is wide; go around.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Groups can be intimidating, but not for you, and not today. You see a crowd as an opportunity to command the delight of others. The group you come across now is just waiting to admire you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There's very little information available on your subject of interest. Improvisation is more valuable now than research.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give feedback. If you don't let others know what you're thinking, they'll think you're bored or baffled by them.
