Born today, you enjoy nothing so much as working and playing with your friends, for you work and play harder than almost anyone! You are a passionate, caring, intelligent individual who strives hard to achieve everything. Nothing in your life is done by accident, nothing comes to you on a silver platter, and no one encounters you without being impressed by your determination, vision, outlook and ability to make things really count -- for yourself and others. You are confident and optimistic, but there are times when you may suffer from bouts of the blues. This is when you most rely on a few special people in your life to pick you up and remind you that yes, the sun will rise tomorrow, and you will have plenty to do!
You don't approach obstacles with overconfidence or aggression, nor do you get defensive or insecure. Rather, you slow down -- and even stop if necessary -- and think long and hard about what you are facing in order to come up with the ideal game plan under the circumstances. Once you come up with a plan and set it in motion, success is all but guaranteed!

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
SATURDAY, MAY 13
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have forgotten exactly why you are working toward a particular goal -- or perhaps the goal itself is no longer firmly in your head.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can give someone a run for his or her money as you pick up speed and race for the finish line. Don't let up until you reach it!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something that appears to fit you like a glove may not be all that comfortable. You'll surely want to make immediate alterations.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- No time is a good time for causing dissent among teammates, but you may have to do just that in order to end the current malaise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Once you get things going, you're likely to see landmarks pass at an accelerated rate. Keep your eye on the final destination.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day for you to experiment with many different approaches, especially where rivals are concerned. Shaking things up can work wonders.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Unless you are willing to make the change that someone has been urging you to make, you're not going to progress very rapidly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's time for you to own up to a recent failure. Honesty and transparency can enable you to get past this perceived embarrassment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You don't want to be seen in terms of extremes -- best or worst. Instead, you should strive to be thought of as effective.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Follow the progress of a competitor, and you'll no doubt learn a great deal about the weaknesses in your own game plan. Make a change!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You and a friend may want to trade goals, as each of you is nearer to what the other has been working toward. This can be a dual success.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may compel you to do something that goes very much against the grain. You'll have time to clean up any messes that you make.
