This week ends a little like the traditional nursery rhyme where the cow jumps over the moon and the dish runs away with the spoon. Except in this ditty, Venus rides a centaur over the moon and Piscean fish swim away with Jupiter's blessing of good fortune down a waterfall splashing on the mirror of tomorrow's dreams.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Lately, everything seems to run together -- as soon as one thing ends, another begins. If you want real downtime, you'll have to claim it deliberately. The world won't pause unless you do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're not auditioning for the approval of anyone. These friends, clients, bosses, neighbors, dates -- they either match up and fit in your world, or they don't today. You're the one casting the show, and don't forget that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your curiosity influences the scene. People open up around you. Your questions make them think differently, then listen. Advice isn't needed. The way you move through the world is teaching enough.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's a power shuffle in the air -- nothing dramatic, just a few egos bumping. You'll spot it right away and, with a little charm or humor, smooth things out before anyone even knows there was tension.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today you might notice that you feel more guarded around certain people. Some folks are safe places for your feelings; others aren't. Save your honesty for the good listeners who won't use it against you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You live your spirituality today. It's not about your worshipful practices or charitable donations. It's how you move through the world, your attitude as you tend to your routines and work and how you get along with the people around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you find yourself oscillating between belief and disbelief, it's only because you're so tuned into fakery right now. People tell white lies. Clones voice ads as celebrities. Products don't really work. Your skepticism will save you time and money today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Again, you're trying to go under the radar. But sometimes this makes you more alluring. When multitudes clamor for attention, everyone wonders about the private life or inner world that wants none.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've seized the day so often, you do it with finesse. Often, the day doesn't want to be grabbed or snatched, but it is fine being held. Stay with the action, which will move spontaneously.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The more you stare at what's wrong, the bigger it looks. Shift your focus to what you want instead. Keep walking toward that picture. It will be wild how fast life starts rearranging itself to match.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Pain doesn't cancel out beauty; it's part of the same spectrum that makes your soul capable of wonder. Feeling deeply, even when it hurts, is the price and privilege of a vivid inner life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're diving into something new -- no practice runs, just splash and go. Luckily, you catch on fast. Before long you'll be moving with the current, right in rhythm with the tide.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 6). Welcome to your Year of the Brilliant Exchange. You'll be part of dynamic conversations that change your trajectory. Every introduction matters. You're socially astute and eloquent. Your words magnetize opportunity. More highlights: signing a lucrative deal, being invited to lead and an international connection that brings business and travel for years to come. Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 16, 8, 12 and 39.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Judd Apatow recently released his memoir, "Comedy Nerd: A Lifelong Obsession in Stories and Pictures," which gives a deep look into his comedic career, archive material and creative process. Like a Sagittarius, Apatow's new projects are broad in scope -- a film about a country star's downfall, shaping a museum exhibition on comedy and a deeply reflective memoir -- and they are all expressions of that centaurian inclination toward expansion, truth-seeking and connecting ideas with culture.
