Aries (March 21-April 19): You know what you want, so asking for less or different is silly. Once you state out loud what you want, the world opens with ways of getting it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The things asked of you now will probably fall into the category of favors that will never be reciprocated. That doesn't mean you shouldn't deliver. It's good to give.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your relationship juju is excellent now. What was once a troublesome friendship is now a breeze.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There's something you've forgotten, and you'll remember it just past noon. Maybe it's a birthday or an overlooked assignment. Whatever the misstep, correct it before sundown to minimize damage.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The question on everyone's mind is, "What's in it for me?" Unless you can answer that, don't even try to make a sales pitch or a request. When you have a truly helpful answer to the question, you'll win.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The phone rings, the e-mail icon bounces, there's a steady stream of distraction. Do at least three quantifiable tasks and you'll avoid getting to the end of the day wondering what you accomplished.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Write down what happens to you and, more important, how you feel about it. Something about documenting your life makes you feel present, able and motivated.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Go on, dream. There's nothing to be lost by letting yourself get deliriously caught in an upward swirl of fantastic thoughts. Being realistic is for pessimists. Your partner in positive thinking is Sagittarius.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It hasn't been a walk in the park lately. Life is your boot camp, and the vigorous effort you put in is making you stronger by the day. Rest is equally essential to your process. Hold your leisure time sacred.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take people up on their offers to assist you. You'll be sharing in ways you've not shared before, and this may take more courage than you expected too. It's all worth it in the end.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're so close to a family member that you could solve every problem in this person's life. Don't. The greatest gift you give is your belief in their power to direct their destiny.

Aries (March 21-April 19): You're not one to put a person on a pedestal unjustifiably. But a little flattery and attention courts some sweet proposals.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You let someone off the hook. You're simply in the mood to grant favors. They're hungry for your pardon.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): No one is asking you to sell out. Think over your options. Take the one that feels good to you, even if it doesn't seem like an easy choice.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Mill around in unlikely spots. What's more fun than digging in scrapbooks or old photos for buried treasure? If your heart's not in it, you won't accomplish much anyhow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you have a secret expectation that you'll excel beyond what anyone has done before? For now, if you're feeling good and doing reasonably well, take it as a win.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have all of the central ingredients to make your project a success. Of course, it's the extra ingredients that delight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Good? Bad? Both are relative, and irrelevant to how you live your life. Make your own rules and the fun really begins.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Working hard is your choice, but it's not a noble one today. If everyone only knew how much you enjoy being in the throes of a task that you do masterfully, they'd be jealous.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): A special project will take off just as soon as you stop worrying. Get the support of your people. Chances are they're currently unclear about what you need.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): In school, getting 90% of the answers correct would still net you an A. It's the final 10% that really matters.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You needn't skip across the globe to live the fabulous life. Conveniently, there are people in your neighborhood who will surely rock your world.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Knowing that this is your moment, you act. And then the next moment comes, and that's your moment too. Every new moment is your chance to shine.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You're certainly on a path, though it may not make sense to anyone but you. You don't have to explain yourself.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Spiritually wise people might say it's impossible to uncover all the gifts you're meant to give by using your head. Trust your innate sensibilities.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Everyone's atwitter, talking about your future. The ideas you hear are merely contributions to the brainstorm from which you choose what you really want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The feedback you're receiving sounds like white noise. If you look for the harmonious components and the positive intentions, you hear the melody.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It's hard to please those who refuse to be pleased. Though they'll give you good reason to try, you would be wise to recognize the futility in this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your advice is sought, you deliver it well and yet they remain on the fence. You have better things to do than to try to sway public opinion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Following your intuition feels risky and illogical. You may entrust a job to someone with potential. This person will grow into the responsibility.

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Friends depend on your kindness, and you once again deliver. Part of you wonders if you can afford to be so generous. The bigger part of you believes you can never be too generous.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Shortcuts look tempting, but you'll get more benefit out of a journey if you travel the known road.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Though you're pretty comfortable with where you're at, you still recognize what could be better. More pointedly, what you could do better.

Aries (March 21-April 19): You've fretted over a situation long enough. You recognize that worry is an indulgence that can't bring any good. You're ready to implement your plan and solve a problem.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You'll be socializing. Wherever you go, your accomplishments walk into the room with you. Even if the crowd doesn't exactly know what you've done, they sense it.

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your appetite for excitement is insatiable. If you follow the call of the wild, you will be able to get into some pretty exhilarating circumstances.

Leo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have the rather sophisticated ability to accept people as they are. Find the soft place in your heart that can embrace someone who is wired differently (oh, so differently) from the way you are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your contribution to the community will be vital to the overall tone of a place. Even if your contribution is a simple gesture, it will make a difference.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Though you know that each person has his or her own path, you still have compassion for the lost souls you encounter. Your kind thoughts may be enough of a beacon to illuminate the path home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Usually you have to back off from a problem to get a decent perspective. But today, getting closer will help you more.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make a commitment. Instead of restricting, the decision will liberate you. When you know where you're going, you're free to move down the path. When you don't, you're paralyzed with uncertainty.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You're letting a few of your expectations slide, and wisely so. Better to concentrate on feeling positive and joyful instead of trying to sweat all of the little details that were supposed to create these emotions.

Pisces

Today's birthday (June 1): You're a paradox. You somehow get older yet seem more innocent. Your youthful charm and openness give you the kind of "babe in the woods" quality that has guides coming out of the woodwork to protect and teach you. Next month brings long overdue remuneration.

Horoscope: May 29

2008-05-29T23:47:00.001-07:00

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Evolution is not always a slow process. You witness a lightning-speed change and would be hard-pressed to repeat what you saw. But you know one thing: It was real.

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Sometimes you must tear things down before you build again. Loved ones don't need to know the method to your madness; they only need to believe that you have one.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What good are ideas if not explored, toyed with and followed to their real-life conclusion? You're prolific, in thought and deed, with plenty to share.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You're more vulnerable than you'd like to be, but that lets you make a new friend or forge the bonds of lasting love.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Everything happens in perfect time. Make this your mantra and you'll be poised for success.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You yearn for resolution, but you're not sure what solution would satisfy you. Try to ask a specific question.

Today's birthday (May 29): You'll find support springing up for you all over this year. You need only to announce your intention and follow through. Help joins you while you're in motion. An exceptional talent is recognized in June. Family makes you proud in August. In October, you'll travel to be with loved ones. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your attention is a hot commodity. So when a work-related task, neither difficult nor impossible, wants your focus, you have a choice to give it your attention or delegate.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): When your happiness fluctuates as dramatically as the stock market, it's probably tied up in something outside yourself. Step back and connect to inner sources of well-being.

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You're given more power than you're used to. Others will respond quickly to your expert analysis. Be doubly sure your advice is for the highest good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Though you just put your world in order, you don't mind making changes. You're on a mission to improve. Capricorn has ideas that excite you to action.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): With all the heavy lifting you've been doing in life, someone is looking to you. Offer help, but don't carry the whole load.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Instead of longing for escape, take it: a five-minute breather or a noontime walk.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You pride yourself on being a lone wolf. When an associate prickles you, no need to get overly involved. You tuck it away as useful information.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You take back your schedule. The phone calls and e-mails can wait while you focus on important business.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may need to ask for what you want over and over, and that's OK with you. If you don't ask, you don't get.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Yes, you're receiving mixed signals. It's OK because you have everything you need to know. Now it's a matter of piecing the puzzle together.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The response you get from others is hard to read. They'll be more effusive later in the week. For now, your best indicator comes from soul-searching.

Today's birthday (May 27): Your year gets a gorgeous start. You'll soon hear words you didn't know you needed to hear. Your heart is moved, and you can't help but take immediate action.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Though you outwardly project that you'd prefer that anyone within 10 feet of you snap to your terms of acceptable discourse, you're secretly amused by those who won't conform.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you don't know how to overcome the problem, waiting it out is always a valid option.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Cut out the static and shun the qualifiers that will only dilute your message.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): A deadline isn't a deadline if there's no one to "kill" you when you miss it. Ask someone to play watchdog to your goals.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The muses remind you that your creative resources are endless. You draw on everything in your life, but find a way to represent its entirety.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Inside you there is healing taking place. You're coming through this one stronger, but it's not time to put the injured part of you to the test. Be patient.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You act on subliminal knowledge and need no other indicator that your instincts are correct. A story without words passes between you and the one with whom you're so close.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There's a flurry of activity as friends and family wish you well on the launch of something new. People want to help you out, but some are unsure how to do this best. Do instruct.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Being physically active restores your emotional balance. The connection between your body and mind is mysterious, but you don't have to know how it works in order to "work it."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Though you are fulfilling an obligation, it would appear to anyone peeking into the situation that you are having the time of your life. And you are.

2008-05-23T03:41:00.001-07:00

Aries (March 21-April 19): It is not tricky to find happiness. It is, however, quite tricky to know what happiness is. Do what thrills you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sizzling energy zings between you and an intriguing someone. Of course, as soon as the intrigue wears off, so will the sizzle. So don't rush.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You can take only some credit for your good fortune. Someone far off is working magic in your life by giving you sage advice, instruction and money or by keeping you in their prayers.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Brainstorm on increasing your financial means. There are expenses around the corner.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are not your job. That should be a relief as work puts you in precarious positions. You're asked to do things that don't feel like you, but there is still a way to make it your own.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There was a time, long ago, when you were intimidated by the prospect of calling someone you didn't know. Now you kind of like it!

Today's birthday (April 29): You're razor sharp, and only get sharper this year as you home in on the areas of study you most enjoy. However, your winning edge comes from not being so edgy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stop judging. You're more effective when you turn off the inner nag who recently has been hung up on declaring what's good and bad about everything you come across.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're rebuilding a relationship. Yes, you must clear and level the ground before you can start. But you do it with love and everything is fine.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sometimes you are inspired, and so you do the work. If only it were always so easy. Most times you have to do the work first and let inspiration catch up with you en route.

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love lifts your energy, your optimism and your productivity. So find someone, something or someplace to be in love with. Once you do, nothing else seems very difficult.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): As much as you try to stay in the realm of fine intellect, quantum science and high art, it's the popular obsessions and trivial celebrity information that ensnare you. Your marriage of high and low influences makes you engaging and fun.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): What you do because you're paid to do it becomes cumbersome. Do you remember what you used to find fun and interesting about this job? Remind yourself. Your workloads, and your mood, lighten.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Powerful beliefs are up for adoption. The best way to see which one is best for you is to visit someone who holds one of these beliefs. That way you can play around with it a bit.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A teacher, parent or wise friend once pointed out to you something you were exceptionally good at. Now you get a chance to refine and even make money from this underused skill.

Leo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Loved ones sometimes astound you with their interests. When you join them off the beaten path by being interested, you're met with enthusiasm and adoration.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When someone is on your side, that person acts like he or she is on your side. Pay attention to deeds, not words. Tonight, you're making memories that won't easily be erased.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Whatever it is you're selling, people are buying. When you "testify," you can make the faithless believe. Decide what your most important message is so that you don't waste these fantastic powers of influence.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today points out the subtler differences between good service and bad, quality goods and substandard ones, infatuation and love.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When a certain someone looks at you with those big, watery eyes, you go weak in the knees, willing to give whatever is asked of you. It's best to avoid this person now when your own work needs your attention.

Aquarius

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You're in an unusually competitive mood. You'll probably encounter a winner-take-all situation. Just be sure that the prize you'll be taking is worth winning.

Aries (March 21-April 19): The world is aflame with optimism. Perhaps some of it is unwarranted, but isn't that the thing about optimism? Believe that good things will happen even when it's unlikely.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): There's no better time than now for doing what you've put off. Dial up a little inspiration with a call to your muse.

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Life becomes quite simple. Exceptional deeds produce exceptional results. This evening, you make adjustments that will help you get where you're going with grace and style.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): A previously cold relationship heats up now in an interesting way. Is this anger? Attraction? Passion? Whatever it is, it ends quickly, but not before invigorating every aspect of your life.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get noticed, then get paid. If you don't advertise what you do, who will? Tonight's dreams may be your subconscious' way of working out this day's weird influence.

Libra

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Too bad you can't learn other people's lessons for them. Alas, running interference for someone else only delays his or her mastery of life skills for dealing with adversity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get back the magic, the dreams and the big ideas about what you're going to be when you "grow up." Brainstorm every chance you get about the changes you are about to make.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You leap forward financially by doing what you like. So you may as well go for that fanciful, foolish, utterly immature and totally-worth-doing endeavor.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There may be nothing you can do to change someone's mind about you. This works to your advantage when the person in question loves you madly. Tonight, go where you're completely comfortable.

Pisces

Today's birthday (March 3): This year, you embrace what's true and win rich rewards, like peace of mind, health and wealth, in return. In April, what has been masquerading as love may be infatuation, obsession, convenience. But real love shows its face in May, and it conquers all. Your relationships with Cancer and Virgo bring exciting surprises. Your lucky numbers are 3, 23, 4, 33 and 20.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Others join you in your effort to set right what is wrong. Your small, unsung team could grow into an important force. Sagittarius and Aquarius are among your trusted cohorts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Change it up. Because of your inherent tenacity, you sometimes keep pressing the same button. But today, what's working will stop working if you overdo it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You get away with being honest because you deliver your message in honeyed tones. After all, you're not out to hurt anyone. You're only trying to get what you want.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You can nurture others without saying a word. In fact, today you find it so much easier to relate to others with silent communication. Your compassion needs no articulation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Be the first to introduce yourself. Your outgoing personality makes others feel at ease. Ask open-ended questions. Someone new on the scene has the potential to enrapture you with his or her answer.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don't stay in when you could be circulating. Every person you talk with increases your knowledge and wisdom. Capricorn will be particularly informative.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Beware of those you feel compelled to fix. It's not your job to repair broken hearts or make over other people's bad habits. When you focus on yourself, those who need work will be inspired to work on themselves.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You're realizing that you don't need as much as you thought you did. Even if your generosity is foolish, it's so important for you to give. The ultimate benefactor will, of course, be you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You're paying attention, so you notice what nobody else does. Talk about what you notice, especially when it involves the quirks of another. Your observations are a compliment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make a decision quickly. The more you learn, the harder it will be to know your gut instinct. Don't clutter your choice with too much information.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get rid of all unnecessary props. The more talented you are, the less you need excess stuff. The fewer tools required, the better your results will be.

Pisces

Today's birthday (March 1): This year, you learn things they don't teach in classrooms. The next 10 weeks will bring life-affirming rewards for your studies. Relationships alternately enrich your life and jam it up through the spring. Save the financial bonus you get in May and December. You share a special connection with Gemini and Leo. Your lucky numbers are 8, 20, 41, 26 and 28.

Aries (March 21-April 19): It is better to risk emotionally now than to play it safe in limbo for another month. An uninvolved party (perhaps a Libra) is invaluable for working out problems.

Taurus

Gemini (May 21-June 21): It's a fabulous time to notice what's working and what's not. Be analytical and removed from problems, but don't be mean to yourself. You can always do better the next chance you get.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You're a model of excellent behavior. Of course, it has been said that well-behaved people rarely make history. Consider an area of your life in which you might cut loose.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You're inspired by friends who are undertaking a similar pursuit to yours. A little competition is healthy, but being overly competitive could cause a blowout.

Virgo

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): In your effort to be honest, you may be too transparent. Remember that keeping your inner world private is always your prerogative.

Scorpio

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You don't need to do anything attention-getting, grand or expensive in order to fit in. Keep it simple, and focus on really connecting with those around you. How likable is that?

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Expect many bad, even disturbing, ideas to be part of your creative tirade. When you accept the creative process, it favors you.

Aries (March 21-April 19): When nothing is going wrong, enjoy! You still have the mental resources necessary to give yourself a good scare. Inventing problems is one creative process you can do without.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sometimes a person must leave home in order to appreciate it. This is the perfect day to buy your ticket, especially if your trip isn't for a couple of months.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Wise choices you made in the past will continue to support you. This is especially true in business. People on your team are smart enough to handle whatever you throw their way, so delegate.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You take responsibility for the impression you make on others. Know what you want to say and how you want to portray yourself. Soon you have a constituency of supporters.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You are your word. But what about the situation where you didn't say anything directly, maybe just implied it? Make good on those implications and the people you're dealing with will not only trust you but also love you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You're forging an even stronger connection with that person who makes you laugh (Taurus and Capricorn fit the role). Together, you'll find solutions for today's problems.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your body is affected by your general attitude toward it. Look in the mirror and give yourself the wink and nod of approval. Go in for a pep talk. It will improve your health.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Everything is easier. The wheels of innovation and productivity spin a little faster. People just seem to "get" you. You're in the zone, so work it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You're in a generous mood, maybe too generous. Don't, as they say, give away the farm without considering how others are going to feel about it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You're trying out different ways to express yourself. Now is your chance to be nutty. Be weird. You'll have so much success with this that you may decide to make it a lifestyle.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your mission is one of outreach. Through the phone and the Internet, spread good vibes. Don't hold back. Be mushy. Loved ones long to hear it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Don't know if you're coming or going? Try to think like a drop of water. Whether it's frozen solid as ice, water is infinitely adaptable. Change is good.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your social network supports you in silent ways now. People thinking good thoughts about you will have a fortuitous effect on your mood. Friends make the sweet times sweeter and rocky times smoother.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Life, like jazz, often happens best in the spaces between the notes. What you do while you're waiting around is more important than what you do while you're doing.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): The more energy you pour into a relationship, the better this bond gets. You figure out how to do this in as cool a manner as you possibly can, tantalizing the object of your affection.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Self-depreciation should be a crime now. Acknowledge your talents, and commit to nurturing them. Others are depending on you to be your best.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The highlight of your day is dreaming up how you will entertain others. You think of your company first and create an atmosphere where they can be interesting and lively.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You're not married to your own point of view now. It's productive to get inside someone else's, preferably someone you're having trouble with. You will see relationship solutions almost immediately.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are so agreeable, you'll even agree to disagree. Your sophistication allows you to give your full attention to people whose opinions are dead wrong without feeling the need to prove the error or their ways.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): What happens to you is significant. Try not to compare yourself with others as you give attention to your own business.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Handle what's important first and your whole scene clicks into "smooth" mode. Furthermore, you can successfully combine business and a hobby for some money.

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You're ready to meet the challenge, especially if it's bigger than you are. Some call you crazy, but time will show that you're the sane one. Crazy is letting opportunities slip by.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You're still trying to decide how close you should get to a certain person. If you can't seem to figure out this person, just check out his or her friends. The story becomes clear.

Today's birthday (Feb. 27): You're ready to embark on an exciting journey involving love, beauty and artistic expression. The next three weeks bring important self-exploration. Someone has a crucial piece of information that will help you know yourself more thoroughly. June brings tantalizing invitations. There's big money to be made in July. Leo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are 5, 20, 14, 42 and 2.

Aries (March 21-April 19): It's not always so comfortable to be reminded of your good qualities. Receiving compliments with grace takes practice, and you'll get several chances to hone the social skill this afternoon.

Taurus

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): To have discerning tastes is to understand what puts the "lux" in "luxury." There is happiness in seeking what is beautiful to the nose, tasty on the lips and delicate to the touch.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Got pets? If not, today's compassionate stars could prompt you to open your home to someone from another species. If you're already a pet owner, the critters will rule your schedule now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If the task set before you is one you've repeated dozens of times before, your boredom factor hits a new high. So change it up. A Sagittarius has fabulous ideas to contribute.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You usually live by the rule, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." However, today, what your friends really want from you is the truth without the pretty gloss.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The omens urge you to follow the music of your gypsy soul, especially if it moves you to cross a border or two. When you do, you put yourself in the path of romance.

Sagittarius

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Show a supportive someone your recent work or share an idea you've been mulling over lately. You'll be validated if you needed to be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It's time to knock down an obstacle invented by you. This kind of obstacle is the hardest to knock down, but it won't hurt when you crash into it since it is only an illusion.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Put off a decision until you're feeling more sure of it. Chances are, you're the only one putting pressure on yourself. Maybe it's OK if you never come to a conclusion on this one.

Today's birthday (Feb. 25): You will fill the world with your works this year. Who you align yourself with is the single most contributing factor to what you experience over the next 10 weeks. Travel in June is thrilling. Career goals are met in September. Your heart is full of love in the new year. Sagittarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are 39, 20, 15, 17 and 28.

Aries (March 21-April 19): The love you find is unique. You'll never find another one like it. So consider carefully the person who keeps calling you back to his or her heart.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You ask for a second chance and get it. Everyone deserves to be redeemed for missteps, and yours is not as massive as you've built it up to be.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You're the recipient of lovely attention. Give them a dose of whom you really are. This afternoon, get aggressive about learning. You're the student who will soon be a teacher.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Go after that thing that makes you want to hide. The more ambitious you are, the more support you'll gather. Friends you make tonight keep you in mind for future opportunities.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It's time to forgo social niceties, buckle down, get to work and make back some of that money you've been spending. Earth signs like Capricorn are inspiring mentors.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The urge to act impulsively will be strong but not necessarily wise. Write down your thoughts before acting on them. A Leo or an Aquarius will be a fine sounding board.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are very appealing to the opposite sex now. Dare to ask out the one you've been flirting with. Tonight, someone is keeping score.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Romantic hopefuls make a play for your attention. Do the sweet, selfless thing, even though it will probably seem terribly inconvenient.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): On a day as lucky as this one, it's a crime to let a dream linger in the ether. Act. Ask for help. Others seem to care as much as you do about moving your vision forward.

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It feels so good to contribute to others that you're not even keeping track of how much you are giving. Be sure to receive graciously too, or you rob the giver of the wonderful benefits of generosity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Get distance from stressful scenarios so you can sort through them. Humor heals. A movie ticket to the latest comedy is just what the doctor, and the financial advisor, ordered.

Today's birthday (Feb. 24): Your faith in what's good and right is strengthened through the year. Because of your intense belief, a long shot comes through, a miracle materializes and life takes a new trajectory. March is spontaneous and action packed. Changes at work give you the chance to use and develop your talents. Gemini and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are 10, 42, 2, 26 and 4.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Slow down. You'll strike upon a spiritual kernel of truth. Noticing, pondering, praying and wondering are all activities that will deliver you from the humdrum into the divine.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): To be the best at what you do, you have to stretch into unknown territory. You may not see immediate positive benefits for your risk, but they are coming. Have faith.

Gemini

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You thrive on spontaneity. Not knowing what's coming next makes you feel more alive. Leave your agenda, and head into unstructured blocks of time, following your whims.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When all is well with your "baby," all is well with you. Stop everything to make it all right between you and yours, no matter how long it takes or what it entails.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sometimes you resist fantastic ideas simply because you know that if you "go there," you may not return to the land of logic. So what? Don't return. Believe and make it so.

Libra

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your work concept, or lack thereof, contributes directly to how much you earn. That's why brainstorming is a moneymaker. Your cosmic teammates are Cancer and Leo.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know you're talented. Accept accolades for your work. Problems that at first seem overwhelming are your biggest opportunities to shine.

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have the most fun when you do the least amount of planning. Before you leave the house, pack half as much as you think you need and bring twice the money.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your attention goes to the squeaky wheel, and love, as always, is your oilcan. Embrace the complainer in your midst. Addressing his or her issues is the best thing you can do to create peace in your world.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You express yourself so beautifully that it's only fitting that you make a toast, introduction or sales pitch. You have special persuasive powers tonight.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your hopes may be a tad over-the-top. A small piece of fabulous news is still fabulous news. Accept everything good that comes your way as a sign of even better things to come.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It's not only about getting what you want but about wanting what you got. Take a look around and give a word of praise for every aspect of your life that's working beautifully. Honor those who help you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You forgave a friend years ago, "no hard feelings"-style. But for some reason, you're still hanging on to some of the hurt. It's time to let go. Talking it through will help.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Here's a novel idea: Instead of over-promising (and under-delivering), why not under-promise (and over-deliver)? It's a stress-free way of making someone happy by giving more than expected.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You have super-powered concentration, and when you meditate, amazing things happen. There are so many things to meditate on . . . the colors of the rainbow, the smell of grass, the sky. . . .

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It's dangerous to believe in something to the exclusion of all other pertinent information. This is a day to be more open and to see if two different beliefs can't coexist in your world.

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When in doubt, improvise. You can fly by the seat of your pants and wind up in the same place as folks who are flying first class.

Pisces
