Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Short trips and conversations and siblings, friends and practically everyone take up a lot of your time now. You're busy! But more than that, you have a strong desire to say something to someone. Spit it out. Come clean. (You can't keep your shirt on when you're trying to get something off your chest.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Because you're so focused on money, earnings and how you're spending money now, this is a good time to think about what it is you really value in life. If you know what you value, you'll have a better idea about where and how to spend your money. Ya think?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're very confident talking to others now because quite literally, the planets are empowering you. When this happens, you might as well make hay while the Sun shines. Go for the gusto. Go after what you want. Serve your own best needs. People listen to you now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You can't be all things to all people all of the time, especially now. Don't worry about hiding in the wings, or working behind the scenes. This is totally appropriate for your sign now. In fact, you can get a lot research done. (You might discover juicy secrets.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It's important to enjoy good times with friends, groups, clubs and organizations. More than that, it's important to share your dreams, goals and hopes for the future. When you talk about them out loud, it helps you to gel your thoughts. Plus feedback from others is helpful.

This is the time to talk to the Grand Fromage. Bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and even the police are prepared to listen to you now. They respect you in your ideas.

All the areas that you naturally like are beautifully favoured now: travel, dealing with foreign countries, studying new subjects, exploring philosophy, spirituality, politics and big questions. After all, you're a truth seeker.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an excellent time to explore ways of improving yourself. Buy self-help books or sign up for courses. Get hot tips from friends or people you admire. Think of ways you want to make changes for the better for yourself personally.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It's important to stay focused on friends, partners and members of the general public. Many of you are entering into some kind of agreement with someone now. This is good. Make sure you know what you want out of the arrangement.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This year in general, and this month in particular, are excellent times for you to accomplish a lot. For starters, you're willing to work and put out the effort. However, today is a fine example of how you can benefit because coworkers and the like are supportive to you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Writer Alex Haley (1921-1992) shares your birthday. You always seek out the truth. Not only that, you're a shrewd judge of people. This allows you to research answers for personal or professional reasons. You have a strong personal presence. This year you will say goodbye to something or let something go in order to create room for something new to enter.
