If today is your birthday: Concentrate on getting in shape — both physically and socially —- during the next six weeks. This is a good time to join a gym or start group activities. You might excel at any organized activity, but should put career aspirations and investment ideas on the back burner. Self-discipline and learning through experience should be your focus in August. Fun-filled vacation time or a romantic fling is possible in September. Wait until January to put your most crucial plans, hopes and dreams into motion. Your business judgment is sound then and you will have assistance in achieving your goals.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Coins jingle like bells in your pocket. Having money without something to spend it on would be like Christmas without Santa. In the week ahead, watch for a tendency to spend money too frivolously.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Whenever you feel low this week, just look in the mirror. Remind yourself that you've been through much worse and you overcame it. Never lose your enthusiasm for life or forget to encourage yourself.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): You may straddle the chasm between fact and fiction in the week to come. You are at your best when you apply logic and do diligent research. Your love of romance could distract you from the truth.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Justice is served, but not always in a court of law. In the week to come, you may find that karma rewards and punishes people in subtle or mysterious ways. It is not your place to act as a judge and jury.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You need not appear as larger than life to others this week. Although you could make an attempt to cloak yourself in mystery or pretend to be better than you are, the truth may come out at the most inopportune time.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is less here than meets the eye. In the week to come, you might fool other people, but you will never be able to fool yourself. Make a commitment to align your life with the truth and honesty.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Reputation is not character. Fall in love with someone's spirit, not his or her status. In the week to come, it is possible to be confused about what constitutes permanent values and authentic worth.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are the inventor of your life. In the week to come, you may be challenged to draw up a plan that addresses financial loopholes. The problems surrounding a bank account or investment come to light.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You aren't happy to be held back. You restrain yourself now, but late in the week others hold you back. It could be that the obstruction has to do with an undisclosed lack of trust or misunderstanding.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A sweet fragrance clings to the hand that gives the rose. Generosity doesn't consist of merely a few dollars thrown in the kettle. A compliment given to someone else reflects well on you this week.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can't carry water in a leaky bucket without losing some. A financial matter in progress might not make much headway during the last half of the week. Don't invest without a safety net.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are never too tired to be inspired. The glimmer of hope that you see this week might turn into a burning candle in the near future. There could be some issues of trust to handle with kid gloves.
