Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As much as others would like to help you, there are some things that are better for you to do on your own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A friend needs a favor, and you're in just the position to grant it. Don't let this opportunity slip by.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll ask all of the right questions. Maybe you won't word them perfectly, but you elicit an informative response.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll line up a new home and prepare for the transition. This is about finding a new niche.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's easy to love those who do as you say. The same goes for the ones who entertain you. Earn Karma points by also making the effort to love those who are difficult.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). For you to be happy, you have to stop trying to make others happy. You'll be surprised at how many things you can get to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You appreciate qualities like honor and loyalty, and the person who possesses these will be more beautiful to you than a supermodel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are a connoisseur of beauty and a paragon of good taste, so it's no wonder people are asking for your opinion now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want to see your loved one happy and will do everything in your power to bring it about. Sometimes the best thing to do is to back off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll be dealing with a notoriously difficult personality. You have a way of getting on this person's good side, which will astound the others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll hate the feeling that someone is looking over your shoulder. Stay away from anyone who has a habit of correcting you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have interests that your close friends don't share. It will be important to your self-esteem to find someone who does enjoy this topic or activity.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 23). You become healthier as you set a series of small goals and systematically accomplish them. Next month you'll spend wonderful quality time with one of your favorite people. A new interest has you developing your mind and memory in September. With a combination of skill and luck, you'll win a prize in November. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 25, 21 and 39.
