TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your high sense of morality makes it painful for you to do anything but the right thing. And you'll feel even better about yourself if you don't tell anyone about your good works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The people around you do not get along with one another so well now. You've gotten this far by not taking sides and you'll do well to remain neutral.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). On a day like this, you're better off not forcing yourself to do what you don't want to do. Be happy and have fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have true friends who do not care one bit where you live or what you wear or drive. But not everyone in the world is so inclined.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Think long term. What provides short-term gratification may contribute to a future problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being too truthful when you weren't even asked your opinion is usually a crummy idea, but today is different.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Why is it that jokes about taboo or forbidden things are so much funnier than jokes on socially acceptable topics? You're the expert on both kinds of humor and you'll keep 'em in stitches now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The creativity energy is welling up inside you. Don't worry about expressing it or suppressing it. For now, just let it be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll get a window into how you are perceived and you'll be pleased and enlightened by what you learn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're never surprised when familiar ideas turn out to be untrue. But be careful not to disagree with traditional methods just because they are old.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don't need to be right all of the time, but if someone says you're wrong, you want proof. Stay your ground until you are absolutely sure it's incorrect.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 25). You will live daringly. When afraid, you'll summon the courage to push past your fear. July brings friendship and fun. Travel in October. There's financial luck in January. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 50, 41, 4 and 13.
