Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Denying how you really feel won't help anyone, especially not you. Let your feelings fuel your passion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be paying close attention to the power dynamics of a group. You'll recognize who is in charge - it's not always the one with the title.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because you know what to do doesn't mean you'll do it. Relaxation will be the key to making a change.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not everyone feels comfortable dealing with emotions. But you'll manage feelings that are strong enough to motivate you and others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your humor and playfulness will make others feel comfortable and will create a stir of interest wherever you go.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When a loved one experiences a setback, you will come up with ways to help this person overcome the problem or at least forget about it for a while.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't need a push from anyone to be motivated. You might need a memory refresher about those goals today, though.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll probably be a bit preoccupied thinking about an upcoming performance of sorts. The answer is to practice as much as humanly possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will have a balanced point of view that could help defuse tension around you. Others might follow your lead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you understand your own feelings, you will be able to help others work through theirs, too. Write in your journal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Avoiding pain won't work half as well as aiming for pleasure. Picture the best possible outcome, and then get to work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Too much input and investigation will make small problems into big issues. Do something else until things cool down a bit.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 24). Your creativity blossoms this year, and you will enjoy applying yourself to a variety of disciplines. Love deepens over the next 10 weeks, as you become more daring in your expression of who you are. You will attract a kindred spirit in July. Family support will help you make an important investment in August. Sagittarius and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 15, 44 and 29.
