ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can expand your interests, knowledge, and plans. Traveling to new places or trying new things will help you see your current situation more clearly. Emotions may run high today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Opportunities will come to you through the most unlikely sources. You will be in a passionate mood, so put time aside to spend with someone you love. Be straight about the way you feel and what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put every ounce of energy into what you need to complete. Talking about your intentions will not suffice when people are waiting to see the end result. A unique approach to an old project will probably save the day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Everything is going much better than you think, so lighten up and relax. Let things unfold naturally without complaints or negative thoughts. Don't be afraid to try something new or to make a change along the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some people may find you entertaining and fun, but someone you are close to may be a little upset if you aren't attentive or don't do your share of the duties. You may be a party person today - don't let it ruin a good relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are better off concentrating on work and getting ahead. Someone may try to slow you down by dumping additional responsibilities in your lap. Prepare to opt out even if it means a cooling off of your relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't get all worked up over nothing when you have so much going for you. A new look at an old idea will inspire you to take it to the next level. Love is in the picture, so give tender loving care.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone may try to stand in your way or take over something you've been working hard to complete yourself. Don't back down: Stand up, and take ownership. A hidden asset or matter will help you out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Now is not the time to be greedy or self-centered. You can get ahead, but only if you are willing to help others. Now is the time to give back; if you keep taking, someone will challenge you or stop you in your tracks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don't mix business with pleasure. Stick to basics and the simpler solutions, and you will stay in control. If you don't play by the rules, you are likely to face the wrong kind of change from authoritative individuals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't trust everyone. Keep a tight hold on your money and refuse to let anyone talk you into investing in something that isn't your cup of tea. It's time you came up with a game plan that will lead to a better future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put everything you've got into something you believe in. Taking on a challenge will help to raise your self-esteem and show others what you are made of. Don't go overboard, however. The less complicated you make things, the better.

Names I shouldn't give my future kids

by Alexander Jacob Scott William Johnson


- John Johnson. That just sounds bad.

- Harold Johnson. Harry for short.

- Anita Johnson. A name destined for the big stage … at Woody's.

- Ivanna Johnson. Yeah, I stole it from a Bart Simpson prank call. Sue me.

- Les Johnson. A little on the short side, isn't it? (Sorry about the pun; I couldn't help it.)

- Ryder Johnson. Think about seeing it in any listing: Johnson, Ryder.

- Richard Johnson. Dick Johnson, eh, well, that's two synonyms for you know what.

- Oscar Meyer Johnson. As much as I'd love to call him Oscar Meyer Weiner.

- Minny Johnson. I know it's a girl's name, but still …

- Maxwell Johnson. A.k.a., Max. It'd be cool in high school …

- Maximilian Johnson. A.k.a. Max. Uhh … yeah, not so cool *after* high school.

- Gaylord Johnson. Excuse the cliché, but it was necessary like a bad joke in "All-American Dad."

- Norberta Joy Johnson. She'd have to go by N. Joy Johnson because Norberta is a horrible name.

- Tug Johnson. Not quite as catchy as Tug McGraw, but please, don't pull.

- Alita Johnson. Etymological definition: Small and winged. That's just wrong.

- Aquilina Johnson. Etymological definition: Sharp-eyed … sounds painful.

- Chase Johnson. Might turn out like Michael Jackson, might turn out like Chase Daniel. I highly doubt the second.

- John Jacob Jingle Heimer Johnson. Or any other name that long - it's a real mouthful.
