Why does StarTribune.com look like this?

The sun moves into Sagittarius, the luckiest sign of the zodiac. Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius is associated with abundance (and overabundance), prosperity and audacious fun. Expansion and worldly wisdom are also closely tied with this exciting stop on the zodiac wheel. Curiosity is a driving force. Follow yours and improve your fortunes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unlike life in a comic strip, no person is inherently good or evil. The difficult people are simply behaving as they have learned to in order to cope with their own particular set of circumstances. Your compassion will be required.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The only difference between a rut and a groove is your attitude. Figure out how you feel about this routine you have going. "Pretty good" isn't good enough. See if you can't do something to enliven the whole picture.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Avoid being too rigid in your dealings, especially if you sense real talent in your potential partner. A handshake is sometimes all that's necessary to begin an agreement that, over time, becomes a dynasty.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're not into living life in the minor league. You want to make the kind of contributions that will outlive you. What you may not realize is that it is the small kindnesses that fit the bill the best.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's validating to be a part of another person's development. You're merciful in this position. You'll help someone save face. In time, this person will understand why the action they took was unacceptable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The word that best describes your shining inner light has not been invented yet. It's more than "brilliant," "awesome" and "breathtaking" combined. It's not your birthday, but the stars are yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Thoreau said: "I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor." You are taking control, thinking things through and acting with a clear head.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to make a connection with someone whose love will be deep and abiding. If you can honestly say that you love yourself with that kind of intensity and loyalty, then you are on your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fondness and glad tidings gather around you like leaves around a young sapling. All you have to do is follow the course put before you and accept the encouragement and advantages you are given.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). Your mojo is working. You don't have to use force to get what you want. You smile that charming smile of yours, and people open up their hearts and wallets to give you what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Work on the larger problems of life — like world peace or finding a geeky friend a date. Your keen intellect and vivid imagination are more than enough to guarantee success.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your effort is making a difference. You can't realize it in one day. But when you look back on the year, your heart will be full because of the very incremental growing you do in the next 48 hours.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 21). You get greater value out of your relationships and endeavors this year. You excel at technicalities and, therefore, are able to make your life run smoothly and even automate some of the tasks you dislike. You'll consider a sweet offer in December, and this has the potential to turn your whole world upside down. Virgo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 31, 11 and 50.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Hi, Holiday. I'm 14 and I love reading about astrology and my sign, Capricorn. You say Capricorn has a business mind and is good with money. Well, all I've done is sell candy for school or babysit. Anyway, I spend everything I make on clothes — LOL! Well, maybe I'll get better at saving when I get older? What do you think I'll be when I grow up?"

Your instinct to buy clothes with your money may not be as far off from good business as you think. After all, making a good impression is a key to success in any situation. I once heard a very wealthy businessman say that if he only had 100 dollars to his name, he would spend it all on the very best clothes he could buy and then go out and start drumming up business. I'm going to encourage you to keep a journal and make regular entries during this magical time in your life. Write about the things that interest you. Getting in touch with who you are, your likes and dislikes, and how you feel about your experiences will help you find the perfect area of study — and an eventual career path.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster has been working in show business since the age of 2 and won her first Academy Award nomination as a teenager for her role in the gritty Martin Scorsese picture "Taxi Driver." Scorsese is a Scorpio, too, and these kindred spirits have a special intensity that allows them to create powerful art. Foster has her natal Mercury, Venus and Neptune in Scorpio.
