Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are reluctant to come clean about a recent episode. Being completely truthful is of paramount importance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone has taken something of yours without asking. There's a good chance it was unintentional, but the other person needs to apologize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A machine that's supposed to make your life easier is acting up. You could call someone to fix it, but it might be worth looking into yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). As Gandhi said, there is more to life than increasing its speed. You second these words because you feel like you're running yourself too fast.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Other ways will open up for you to communicate. You'll get your message across with new clarity and depth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will receive some news that chills you, but you'll soon warm up to the idea.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will get most of the benefit out of a deal or relationship right off the bat. So if that part isn't sweet for you, there's no reason to go further.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Instead of listening to the words people are saying, listening to the overall meaning of what's being said will save you time and money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You do not belong in the middle. You're better off when you choose a side or go to extremes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Creativity is brewing, but you can't rush it. Your patience will be a path for the oncoming flow of solutions and productivity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's not advisable to take people at face value. When you look beyond the surface, you will see deeper meanings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Getting help from those who want to give it feels wonderful. Accepting anything that's given grudgingly feels horrible. Gravitate to those who give freely.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 5). You understand your heart and live in a way that fulfills you. In the process, and without meaning to, you'll impress others. July brings a promotion. In September, you will be willing to sacrifice for a relationship, and something truly beautiful will come out of your selflessness. Family celebrates with you in November. Sagittarius and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 21, 50 and 16.
