August 14, 2009
Aries (March 21-April 19): Guard your tender heart and you’ll stay in a wonderful mood. It’s better to start anew than to delve into old history. If you must ask questions, make sure you want to hear the answer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You are a role model whether or not you want to be. Those with less experience are watching you for cues. Knowing you’re being observed helps you step up your game.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You cherish the connection you have with your friends. That doesn’t mean you want to know every thought crossing their minds. Focus your conversations. Stick to upbeat topics.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You have many answers, but you don’t have them all. Encourage everyone to solve his or her own problems. When you back off, you empower others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You get right down to business and finish things quickly. You make it look so easy that others will try to do what you do. But your skills have been honed over years of practice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your observations will be particularly astute. Praise those around you. Your encouragement brings up the level of production, as well as morale.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’re proud of who you are, but you also value humility and love to be of service to others. By giving a loved one what he or she wants, you pave the way for a harmonious weekend.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your recent accomplishment will put you in the limelight. You might be dealing with a jealous or paranoid person. Back off. Don’t try to convince anyone of anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your sense of timing is slightly ahead of most people’s today. You’ll get more accomplished but also be prone to frustration over the slow pace the rest of the world seems to be adopting. Try to relax.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are given a pretty tall order. You’ll be asked to solve problems and create an experience for others. This is just the kind of challenge you thrive on.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be offered special treats and deals. Maybe there is a motive behind the offerings, but so what? Have a wonderful time with the perks you’re given.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Few people understand how to give fantastic service as you do. Making other people feel important is an art you continue to cultivate. You’ll be paid handsomely for this skill.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 14): You have a knack for starting trends, which pays off for you this year. Improvements in health and fitness give you strength and confidence. When you’re in a fantastic mood, things go in the direction you favor. The sale of a large item happens in September. Invest in June. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are 7, 2, 33, 50 and 18.
