Today's birthday (April 24): This year you'll develop a virtue that will enhance everything you experience: patience. It allows you to find easy solutions, keep your eye on the big picture and be an extremely pleasant force in the lives of others. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 11, 19 and 27.

Aries (March 21-April 19): When the energy is only flowing one way and not being returned. Back off.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): A tempting handout is free, but that doesn't mean it's worth having.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Don't be too concerned about temporary setbacks. Things will change.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You'll have a beautiful relationship with a certain person if you slow down.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll get 75 percent of the story, but it's still far too soon to draw any conclusions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You'll be careful to manage your resources to the extent that is reasonable.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Because you're in no mood for rhetoric, identify a target. Any goal will do.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You'll make sure that anyone who deals with you is getting their needs met.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take proper care of yourself, and you'll find it much easier to be "good."

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don't agree to be at any certain place at any certain time. Take it easy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your true friends and supporters are the ones who aren't deterred by plain talk.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you could make it happen by force of will, it would have happened already.
