Born today, you like to be on the leading edge of things, whether it be a movement, an activity, a project or something more all-encompassing. No matter what role you may play, you like to be one of the first on the scene and one of the last off, because you crave involvement and never want to be relegated to standing in the corner watching others do all the work and get all the glory -- or, worse, to waiting in the wings for your turn, which may never come. You are a natural-born truth-teller, and you cling faithfully to that which you consider honest and just. You may slip now and then, which is only human and natural, but you will always come back around to the side of the just and the righteous in your thinking and behavior.

Whether you travel much or stay close to home, you will always think of things in rather grand terms, and your interest in other parts of the world -- and the people who inhabit them -- will remain keen throughout your lifetime. If you're not able to go places for want of means or opportunity, you will do your traveling in books, surely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can accomplish much today that matters greatly to you, though this may go unnoticed by most others. You're in no mood to advertise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're eager to have something go smoothly today that has been difficult to set up. You'll know when you must adopt a hands-off approach.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Pay attention not only to what someone else says today, but also how they say it. It's the latter that will matter most to you, no doubt.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're only after what you think are just rewards for a job well done some time ago. It's time for someone else to give you due credit.
