Born today, you are always willing to take a chance and experiment in such a way that you maximize the potential for success. Those close to you know to get excited when you start trying new things, for they know that you are likely to hit on something that is a game-changer. Your explorations often bring you and those involved with you great acclaim -- and tangible rewards! You are not always as communicative as you might be, especially when things are not going your way. In such situations, you tend to hide away and try to deal with things on your own -- when the better choice, of course, is to be honest about what is going on and accept the help that so many are willing and able to offer you.
You are a highly professional individual, and your work will almost always be respected, even by those who consider you a rival. You are more of a realist than an ideologue; you rely more on what you can see, hear and prove than on any intangible principle. Much of the time, in fact, you will choose do what works over something that is "right" in theory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must be willing to do your homework. Don't assume you know how to do a thing just because you've seen someone else do it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not likely to get exactly what you bargained for, but what you do get can be made to work for you much better than expected.
