Just who do you think you are? This is the question posed by the conjunction of the sun and Saturn. It's a trick question at that. The very asking is meant to make you question your identity, feel smaller and recognize higher authority. Then again, maybe it's time you took back the power, owned it and answered such a question assertively.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What could be better than a satisfying reversal? The bit of poetic justice you witness today will give you a very specific kind of joy to revel in. Part of this may be an appointment or allowance you've been waiting for.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today's cosmic gift is a surprise happening that you suspect only you would totally love; this is the stuff of life that sends you floating on a felicitous mood far into the night.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To really connect with people is more than a talent for you these days; it's beginning to feel like a responsibility. At least it's one you'll be rewarded for in many different ways.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're the one with the ideas. The others think that you get the fun part, but you know the weight of this job. If it doesn't turn out well, the blame is passed your way. Still, you're good at this, so you're willing to take the risk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be the communicator for your crew, not because you understand any better than they do, not because you have inside information, not because you have experience: only because you're the best communicator.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). How can you elevate this simple, tedious job before you to the level of art? The answer is, maybe you can't. But keep adjusting your attitude incrementally upward and you may get it into the zone of "craft."

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's one thing to complete the task, quite another to commit the completion into a system. The current one is either not as good as it could be, or non-existent. You won't regret the hours you put into this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Yours is not a one-kind-of-affection-fits-all situation. Each of your friendships is different from the rest. You don't decide how you're going to love; the friendship dictates it. You just show up, ready to give.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One way is to imagine yourself getting to the goal and run this movie in your head again and again. Whether or not it works, it will teach you about yourself and your relationship to this aim.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Brilliant minds like Albert Einstein and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe agreed on this one thing: Poets go first; scientists catch up later. Do not discount your nonsensical imaginings. They just might become your future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll learn what you need to know and what you don't need to know. Best of all, you'll learn how to tell the difference between the two so the fruits of this study will be both knowledge and wisdom.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your fascination with someone gives you a window into a different world. At some point you may even become more fascinated with that world than with your original introduction to it.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 10). Friendships give you enormous gifts this year. You may even be surprised at the fullness of attention, the accolades and the deep affection coming your way. February opens a new avenue of work or fascination. May and June are your prime opportunities to expand your influence. You'll be appointed in August. Libra and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 40, 24, 10 and 28.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I have been unlucky in love for years. I've had three long-term relationships that have not worked out. My partners' signs were Libra, Pisces and Pisces. Will I ever meet lasting love? My birthday is Aug. 10, 1948."

Dear, dramatic Leo. Three long-term relationships makes you lucky in love, not unlucky! Choose to see the benefits of having learned about romance from so many different angles. Sure, there were unfulfilled promises, disappointments and heartache. That's par for the course. As the old song goes, only love can break your heart, and only love can mend it again. Many people are not lucky enough to find three different individuals they love enough to be with for extended portions of life. So stop seeing yourself as Cupid's wounded loser, and start seeing yourself as love's experienced jackpot winner who is ready for more satisfying connections. Your Libra moon and Venus in Libra help you find favorable partners whenever you are ready. You'll never have to worry about meeting someone special. So start concentrating your efforts on being someone special, someone you would admire and love if faced with the opportunity.
