TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're trying to do something that requires a great deal of power. Remember that you don't have to make it happen in a single burst. Use time as a tool.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Forgiving means forgetting. There is no forgiveness where there is still memory of the wrong done to you. When you pardon someone, do it all the way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your stars align to create powerful momentum. Keep your eye on the goal. A coach (ideally a Taurus) will help you stay on track.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In life, you can either act or react. Today, be an actor - you'll have consistently better results.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Jane Austen said, "We all love to instruct, though we can teach only what is not worth knowing." That's why you wisely choose to teach by example. And more people are watching than you think.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Go out and you'll have a blast. Be bold, for your place at the table of the aesthetically inclined is assured.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A friend relates curious news. Don't jump to conclusions, but take a moment to think about where you'd like this to go. The situation is malleable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Taking a chance on love could be something as simple as returning a smile. Tonight brings communication from afar.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be tempted to feel jealous of a friend's success. Resist it. And keep getting ready to embrace your destiny.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If someone is difficult to get ahold of now, he or she will be difficult to get ahold of later, too. Leave a situation to find a better match.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll get the chance to right a past wrong. You'll either be forgiving someone or asking to be forgiven.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 4). You support your loved ones without stipulating that their choices satisfy you. Because you understand and embody the true nature of love, it will be showered on you through the year. In December, you'll catch a professional break. January brings a windfall. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 28, 31 and 19.
