Aries (March 21-April 19): Children get so engrossed in whatever they're doing that they completely forget about everything else. Most of us lose this ability as we get older, but not you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): When a friend tells you a secret, you'll keep it forever. Your friends recognize this, which is why you know so much about them.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You're a rebel in the coolest way. Go out and buy a belt buckle that says Rock Star. Then saunter around looking for trouble. Actually, you don't need to. It's all in your attitude.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You'll receive a message from a friend. It's nothing urgent, though your timely reply will bring some unexpected good fortune.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): They say you can't please everyone all the time, but then again, "they" never met you when you're on your game.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You're blessed with so many material possessions that you don't have time to employ them all. You will finally figure out how to use a certain piece of equipment and with highly successful results.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're looking for someone who can help you, but the only problem is, you're not really sure what needs doing just yet. The time you spend brainstorming will be well spent.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You'll be up to a bit of mischief. Whatever the rules are, you'll investigate their flexibility. You'll enjoy testing the accepted codes of behavior to see how far they will stretch.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Most people can't wait to get home from work. But you will find yourself staying late without realizing it. You'll just get swept away in the current of accomplishment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): From reality television to video blogs, you've had about enough of this era of over-sharing. Your classy, contained style will influence those around you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Greek pillars are not perfectly straight. They swell at the bottom and taper at the top, so as to give a sense of the organic curve of nature. Your strength is like this: powerful and sturdy, but with a soft, gentle grace.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Even if you're not normally a runner, you'll benefit from this type of movement now. The lilting clip of a steady jog will work out your angst. You'll be light on your feet and in your spirit.

Today's birthday (Nov. 13): You've always been the favorite friend who makes everyone laugh and have a good time. However, this year you are even more clever and quick-witted. You'll meet your match in December. A professional alliance helps you make more money in 2010. You'll do what's right and help your family in August. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 33 and 47.
