If memories were art forms, they wouldn't be static like paintings or sculptures; rather, they would be as alive and ever-changing as spontaneous poetry or dance. When a memory is activated it is inhabited and animated like a puppet or a costume. The lithe Libra moon wants to remind us that we can change how we dance inside a memory.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're not the type to enter a game you know you can win. What's the fun in that? You choose the game that's a challenge. You want to learn the lessons that are offered there, and you will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The social arena may feel a bit stiff, and that's where you come in. You have a way of helping people feel comfortable enough to let down their guards and share.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing what's good for your body, mind and spirit isn't as easy as eating a few vegetables. Healthy relationships are at the center of this equation. Put health first and life flows in beautiful order from there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll encounter talkers and you'll encounter doers. (You're a little of both.) These two types need each other, by the way. The talkers will be publicity for what the doers accomplish.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've a knowledge of human nature that is wise beyond your years and beyond the experiences you've had in this lifetime. Use it to choose the perfect mix of company.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are not dependent on the good opinions of others, and yet they will help you get a few of the things you want, like more work, better prospects and exciting opportunities. You'll walk that precarious line between caring and not caring.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Personal opinions are not the same as wisdom. There are so many who want to guide you now, each with his or her private reasons. The best guide is within you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A good argument requires one to listen carefully to the preceding statement and refute it methodically. You like a good argument. You do not, however, appreciate an unreasonable one — it's best to walk away from those.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The focus will be on improving your financial state, likely through disciplined investing. If it's not going to pay you back in some way, you won't buy it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's an advantage in every situation. You absolutely must look for it! It's OK to accept circumstances that are less than what you wanted as long as you look for (and then play) the advantage.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 5). It's a year of intellectual expansion. Learning one thing well teaches you to learn in general, which opens the door to whatever expertise you'd like to gain.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 34, 38 and 22.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm almost 40, and I feel like I've given up on a lot of the dreams I had when I was in my 20s and before. I do have some things going for me — a nice family and a decent job — but I'm a little bit disappointed in the way things have turned out career-wise. I just thought I'd have accomplished more at this point in the game. I don't talk about my feelings to my wife because I don't want her to think of me as a loser. What advice do you have for an aging Aries?"

Henry Ford, Stan Lee, Vera Wang, Ray Kroc: Look 'em up, and then get over it! Everyone gets older, but it would be a shame for an energetic and youthful Aries to be brought down by a number. Ditch this line of reasoning. Successful people don't dwell on downer-type questions like, "What have I given up on?" "What did I think I would be that I am not?" "Where should I be at this stage?" Those kinds of question marks lead to nothing good. Change the script, Aries. Start by being grateful for all you do have — love! And work! Celebrate it now, and get ready to write the next chapter.

His natal Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were in determined Capricorn.
