For Thursday, July 15, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You are unusually gifted this year. You are a constant source of ideas, solutions and humor. Use your talents in all the different sectors of your life. Your ideas are constantly changing and are nearly always innovative.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

• You have what it takes to glide through the day. Ask questions and discuss what is on your mind with responsible associates. Tonight: At a favorite hangout.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

• Slow down and work with your budget. Unexpected developments at work in the near future might prove to be a wild card financially. Tonight: Stay home.

• The Moon in your sign makes you a champion, or at least a force to be dealt with. You illuminate any room you enter. Everything will flow if you don’t hold on to rigid thinking. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

• You cannot help yourself; you are simply unpredictable at the moment. In fact, you often surprise even yourself. Tonight: Get into the weekend spirit.
