The Leo moon instigates some fun. With Mars in a fellow fire sign of Sagittarius, ideas that involve entertaining and amusement will catch quickly and burn into the evening. Later the Virgo moon takes control of the situation and we can easily plan exactly how to execute all of the exciting notions that were generated through the day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a skill that sets you apart from the crowd. You'll be called on to use it and are also being considered for work in a larger capacity. This is your moment to shine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're drawn to activities that don't interest the people around you. Your needs are different from those of your friends and neighbors. Give yourself permission to be an original.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know when to make a big deal over little details, like the accomplishments of children, the words you choose when you greet people and the side dishes you prepare for dinner. Your attention cheers all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Much depends on other people knowing about your talent, so get the word out. Show people how to view you, highlight your strengths and frame your accomplishments in the best possible light.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though others think you're terrific as you are, there are many areas in which you'd like to improve. Narrow your focus. Chose just one goal and stay with it until you feel a change.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (NOVEMBER 19). You are struck with brilliant ideas. Share your unique viewpoint. Your contribution will be an asset to others. In December you learn who really digs your style. Socially you are in demand through the winter. A new client in April improves your financial bottom line. You'll be appreciating wilderness in June. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 21, 4, 39, 17 and 10.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When the gossip mill gets churning, it creates a kind of suction. Stay your distance so that you don't get slurped into a nasty and negative conversation. And if you must chime in, inject something positive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have reserves of physical strength to tap into for that extra push at the gym or to handle the heavy lifting at work. Just don't forget the warm-up and cool-down that your muscles need before and after activity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You see so much around you that could be better, and many of your ideas would work if they were enthusiastically applied. Getting others to hear you as a supporter and not a critic will be key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're happy when others are recognized for their accomplishments. Really you are. Only perhaps a little less happy than you are trying to appear. It's natural to have pangs of jealousy, and they will soon subside.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It's important to keep moving forward and ironically that involves looking back. People you used to know pop into your mind and you wonder whether this might be a good time to get back in touch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The work that's in front of you is not your favorite. You might actually have physical symptoms regarding this, like just looking at it makes you super tired. Get it over with quickly so you can go back to being your happy self.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You get a power surge this afternoon and will truly feel that you can do anything, especially that one thing you've been worrying about all week. Take it on! You're invincible!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Happy birthday to the McCaughey septuplets, who turn 11 today. They are the world's first surviving septuplets. Astrologically they have nearly the same charts, although not exactly the same, as every second represents a planetary shift by degrees. Born under a Leo moon, the media attention they got early on was mostly a positive help to them, though these Scorpios prefer privacy.
