Aries (March 21-April 19): You are headed for a strange goal with a person you hardly know. It will be a short journey, but a quality one, largely due to your open mind and adventurous attitude.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): In theory, many things are easy to figure out. What you get this weekend is the chance to test out your ideas. You won't be sure you know it until you do it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You will rewind the tapes of your mind and process old data. What you experienced as tragic may now seem funny. The sorrows of your past become sources of joy.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are moving into one of the wackier cycles of your life. Stretch the boundaries of your faith in small ways to make room for more possibilities. If you believe in magic, it will happen at some point.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You will be swept into someone else's world. You enter into this person's spirit and find a new heaven in his or her eyes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your money will be well spent, especially on things that you'll have nothing to show for except the memory of an experience. You really don't want an excess of material items.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If the choice is between staying at home or doing something you've never done before, there's really nothing to deliberate about. Get out there. You won't regret the things you did, only the things you didn't do.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You might not be the first one to come up with the idea, but you're quick to act on it. You have a winning attitude too.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You'll be around people from whom you'll have something to gain. Don't try to tell your whole story to these people. Instead, focus on one powerful part of it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In your opinion, there is no such thing as an "overachiever." You will do the most you can do to the best of your ability. What others are doing has no influence over your choices.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your connection to nature will restore your spirit. Favored activities include hiking, gardening or caring for animals. Also, make an effort to see the sunrise or the sunset.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You'll be engaged in many conversations and it's best to keep them short and sassy. It's easy to belabor the point, and also quite boring.

Today's birthday (July 4): This year, you make your mark by attempting what others would not. Loved ones cannot predict you and therefore find you fascinating. A wave of social activity washes over the next two months. Your energy will be renewed by a special project in September. In November, silly worries evaporate in the happiness of a relationship. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 40, 12 and 19.
