Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can't finish absolutely everything you start. Some projects are meant to be abandoned midway.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some say that love is the opposite of fear. However, it would be unwise to embrace an attacking bear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The route that makes the most sense will not lead to a very interesting place. Creative choices will be radical ones.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like to be sold on an idea, though not through the hard-sell techniques that some will try on you today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are times to pursue great things and big plans, and there are times to savor moments so small, if you were to blink they would be gone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Many agreeable notions will be presented. It feels wonderful to say yes often. You'll pack more into this day than most do in a week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You might fall into a momentary bout of insecurity, but don't stay there. You are special and you are loved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You love what is sacred and also what is ordinary. You could interchange the two today as you realize what makes something sacred or ordinary is the quality of attention you give to it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are chosen for competition, though it was not your intention. This is an honor - an indication that others see you as a worthy opponent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Small talk is important. Friendliness is the basis for so much good to come.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once you learn the finer points of a topic, you can't very well unlearn them. You get a taste of the so-called "good life," and it's dangerously delightful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your work or a favorite hobby is endlessly fascinating to others. You'll field interesting questions on the topic.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3). You are unique. To live in the manner that suits you best, you create your own special world. Your imaginative approach to daily life will breed huge personal success. Love fills your fall. The warmth and acceptance of a group of friends feels wonderful. There's a windfall in February. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 15, 4 and 27.
