Born today, you always know you are at the top of your game when you encounter those who do not know you directly, but who are already aware of your activities, accomplishments and professional status. Indeed, you are something of a zealot when it comes to reputation: You want to be known, and known for being the best! You always guard your reputation very carefully: Not only will you avoid doing anything that might tarnish it in the least, but you also avoid associating with anyone who may, directly or indirectly, reflect poorly on you or your endeavors. You insist on having a spotless record, and you will do nothing that risks your progress, success or standing among your professional and social peers.
Your life is likely to follow at least two distinct paths, and you will have to learn how to navigate carefully between them. Most important are the moments when these paths intersect, for what is required of you in such a moment is, quite simply, more of everything. You must always be prepared to deal with such phases with care and dedication.

SATURDAY, APRIL 22
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be able to take the lead, but you can surely finish in second or third position. The view is better from the front!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- News comes to you through unusual channels. Can you trust it? Perhaps you can put it to a certain test before it really sinks in.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone you've not yet gotten to know very well may be making assumptions about the future that rub you the wrong way. Talk about it!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- How you identify obstacles will contribute largely to your success -- or failure, if you refuse to adjust to such circumstances.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may receive help from someone in the background who has had his or her eye on you for some time. Evening demands a choice from you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't want to let others know that you are surprised by what is happening. Let them see you taking it all in stride!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The most valuable things are the ones that you may be taking most for granted. This is an error you can soon reverse.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good time for breaking bad habits, but you have to acknowledge that you have them first -- and that demands honesty and clarity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A loved one gives you more power over a certain situation than you've had before. This is a vote of confidence, surely!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you are now doing in an official capacity may not have the same impact as the things you've done unofficially in the past.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Everyone else knows that a certain danger lies ahead, yet you are refusing to alter your course in any way. Are you in denial?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What begins and ends today will have such an impact on you that you will not be able to shake it from your mind for quite some time.
