Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The placement of the planets right now offers you an opportunity to discover just how much love there is in your daily life. Don't take this for granted. We practically wait for person to die before we acknowledge our appreciation of him or her. Tell the people around you that you care.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It's quite all right to fixate on shopping and your possessions more than usual. You are wondering how your possessions define you now. Does what you own express who you are? Are you getting the most out of your money? It's okay to pamper yourself and loved ones.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Life can be rewarding and enriching now. People are attracted to you, and in turn, you find it easy to be generous and accommodating to others. Make the most of these good times because life does not always deal you such an easy hand.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Each sign needs to cocoon a bit before its "birthday" month arrives. It's your turn now. Grab every opportunity for solace and solitude. You need to think about what went before and what you want to happen ahead of you. You're preparing to enter a new year.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For many of you, cherished dreams are within your grasp now. However, it's still an excellent time to talk to others about your future hopes. Not only will their feedback be practical, it might also help you put a more realistic spin on things.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Trust your ambitious instincts. With the Sun, Jupiter and Venus at high noon in your chart -- you can't lose. Important people are easily impressed with you now. Career opportunities appear out of the blue. This is an extremely favorable time. Demand the advantage.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

They're so much on your doorstep right now you want to escape. You want to be somewhere sunny, with a cool breeze, and the right drink in your hand. You want more freedom and the excitement of fresh adventure. Maybe you can be a tourist in your own city?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be receptive to what people offer you now. You're in an excellent position to benefit from the wealth of others. This could be directly or indirectly. Perhaps it's even an opportunity to use something that belongs to somebody else. Accept what is offered so others can practice generosity.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You don't particularly want to throw your money around today. You've been spending a lot lately, and the well is running dry. Of course, money doesn't really disappear. It's always there -- it just changes pockets. The secret is to get it into your pocket -- right?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Attend to banking and financial matters today. You won't go overboard about anything. If anything, you'll be worried you don't have enough money. As the day wears on, many people feel this way; but by tomorrow you feel completely different. (That's when you really want to shop.)

French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (b.1769) shares your birthday. You have a regal manner and are a natural leader. You have a decisive, commanding style. You quickly the bottom line of things. You are generous and expansive. You often place great expectations upon yourself. The year ahead holds many exciting, fresh beginnings for you. Be bold!
