Thought for the Day: Venus's entry into Capricorn yesterday brings the possibility for improvement in romantic and financial prospects for all the earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. The same holds true if your personal birth chart reveals any planets in these signs.
If today is your birthday: This will be a year of adventure and education. You're entering a phase of life during which you'll see through much of what you once believed to be beyond question. New hope and faith in your own potential will be born. Happy birthday to Sex and the City's "Big" Chris Noth, 54.
Aries (March 21 — April 20)
Express trains don't stop at every little station. To reach an out-of-the-way spot we sometimes have to travel right through our destination and catch a bus back. If your path seems misdirected now, it will soon get back on course.
Taurus (April 21 — May 20)
It feels as if you are being kept from achieving something that , in theory, ought to be easy. This could be because the time is not right, or it could be a test of your resolve. Make one last concerted push and see what happens.
Gemini (May 21 — June 21)
It seems as if some of your hopes are hanging by a slender thread. You have other aspirations, though, that are attached much more firmly. Focus on these. By doing so, you will put yourself in the strongest possible position.
Cancer (June 22 — July 22)
Some cosmic turbulence has brought the return of an old concern. Your relationship with a certain person is not so great, or so it appears. Actually, a miracle is taking place, as you will soon see.
Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)
If things aren't right yet, they will be soon. You will feel exhilarated and uplifted. The sky is taking care of you and it is protecting you. You will also, finally and fully, see how meaningful and opportune your current situation really is.
Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22)
Life is a stressful rush, yet you probably feel as though nothing of importance is going anywhere in a hurry. In reality, however, your outlook has never appeared more promising. You are on your way to heights that you never imagined possible.
Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 23)
You have a deep, heartfelt desire that must be achieved. It is integral, in some way, to your sense of identity. Please don't underestimate your own true worth.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 — Nov. 22)
When you're very closely involved with something, it's hard to be objective. As certain planets move into better positions today, the emotional pressure will ease and you will get a chance to see things as they really are. The whole picture will soon look a lot clearer.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 — Dec. 21)
There is a sense now that what you are seeking is already within your grasp. The sun's caustic angle to Neptune shows that what you need is much nearer than you think. Look no further than yourself.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 20)
Saturn has done its job over the past couple of years to make you work hard at building up your own material security. Now, with Venus in a friendly part of the sky, there is a mounting wave of opportunity and potential moving toward you.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 — Feb. 19)
Your ruler and the sun are forming an antagonistic angle to each other. If you feel torn, fear not. You are merely being stretched. You'll be bigger and better off soon. A little tolerance in a hot drama should help you go a long way today.
Pisces (Feb. 20 — March 20)
Some powerful developments are evolving daily. This will necessitate thinking things through carefully. Rashness only leads to regrets, so wait till all the facts are in. A natural flow of events will lead to a blissful outcome.
