Creativity has a way of pouncing on the unsuspecting under this Leo moon and even those who aren’t generally given to such things as poetry, song, inventing recipes or performing parts to please their dear ones may find themselves suddenly in the mood to entertain. The need to be seen is as basic to humans as food and shelter and we cannot survive without it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You put in mirror time to look the part. Even if “the part” is sitting on the couch, watching TV, it’s a role you’ll take on in your own manner and style. Leisure-time-you is still you and you’ll enjoy it to the fullest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes a good host makes the guests work. Encourage others to contribute. If you are the only one making an effort, it won’t be fun for them. People around you would rather be involved than be served.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your attention is a desired commodity. But you need it too. Deep focus will produce your best work, and it’s only possible if you take precautions to prevent interruption. If you keep having to reset and resume, it will wreck your flow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many who would support you if they only knew what you needed. Decide where you want to go, then ask for help. You shouldn’t have to keep blazing your own trail. This is what role models, recipes and roads are for.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will slowly, methodically deal with one small task or problem at a time. This is the very picture of maturity. You’ve grown into this style because you found out that it works. Everything is accomplished in steps.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A common purpose will bring together an unlikely team. In the spirit of cooperation, you’ll do what it takes to work with those whose agendas may, on the surface, seem at cross-purposes with your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s no getting around it: The world runs on time-based agreements. Make the “when” and “where” equation easier for yourself. Give yourself a wide margin for the unexpected glitch.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s true that you’re adept at reading body language, but that’s not the entire reason you sense how someone feels about you. You can also read minds, or at least come as close to it as is humanly possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like hearing success stories because you know you also have what it takes to make amazing things happen. There are impressive achievements in your past and more coming in your future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Challenging situations are opportunities for you to shine. You’re careful not to dramatize or catastrophize. Most things can be handled with a little work, which you’re not the least bit afraid of.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not afraid to question who you are and what you stand for because you embrace yourself as a work in progress, constantly evolving in fresh and beautiful ways. The prospects that arise today will be a testament to your open mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your trick for making the world a better, brighter place is simply to see it that way. Once you decide this is how it is, you will have no problem finding evidence to support the premise. Your optimism is a beacon.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 2). You’ll have wondrous relationship luck that holds and holds. You’ll make a bold professional move, and the money follows. Have fun pushing the limits of your talent. Take fashionable risks. Your style is extremely attractive. Your social life hits a new high and you’ll have a good time when you expect to and when you don’t; your gorgeous attitude makes it happen. Pisces and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 8, 16, 30 and 18.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Britney Spears’ bestselling memoir, “The Woman in Me,” has won critics and fans alike and it’s been hinted there will be a follow-up, given the Sagittarian superstar’s story is ever evolving. Spears was born when the sun, Mercury, Uranus and Neptune were all in Sagittarius, which is a bright burning abundance of fiery energy. Venus and Mars in earth signs give the grounding and an Aquarius moon speaks to her humanitarian heart.
