Happy Birthday: Don’t think big this year. Keep things simple and you will be successful. The more you take on, the harder it will be to keep things straight. Embrace whatever changes come your way, and you will discover that things can and will be better in the end. This is a progressive year, so treat it as one. Your numbers are 9, 12, 20, 37, 39, 41

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be feeling good, but be careful not to let down your guard. Although there are some very interesting signals being sent to you, it isn’t a good idea to trust everyone. Use discretion to spare yourself grief.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone will try to take advantage of you today. You can outsmart and outmaneuver just about anyone as long as you are prepared to act quickly. Don’t take a financial risk. Short trips that are related to business will pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may have lots of opportunities today, but if you try to take advantage of too many of them, you will fall short of your goals. Moderation, focusing and not letting anyone interfere with your plans will be what are required to get ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do your job to completion and you won’t disappoint anyone. Someone may try to lead you astray. Love is evident, but it can also cause you to miss out on something important. Be responsible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is the perfect day to plan a little fun with your friends. Make sure, however, that you don’t go over budget. Money worries will escalate if you aren’t tightfisted. Focus on love and romance, not gambling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Things may be a little tense today, especially if you criticize someone you care about. Focus on what you have to do to be the best you can. The time to make some personal changes is now. Get fit, get with it and get moving.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Plan a getaway. You deserve a break. By taking a moment to remember what life is all about, you will also realize what you need to do to make things easier. Reflect, repair and resurrect whatever you believe in your heart is right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your mind may be on money and how you can make more, but taking a financial risk will not pay off. The slower, long-term investments will prove to be more beneficial. Love is apparent, so don’t waste all your time worrying about financial matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let someone get to you today. Guard against criticism and demanding people. Getting upset or angry will lead to a poor decision that will end up costing you in the long run. Don’t quit, back down or give in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As long as you stay focused and don’t take on too much, everything should run smoothly. Your high energy and dynamic personality will help you drum up the support you need to follow through with your plans. A change in the company you keep is likely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will have some very unusual ideas that could turn into a profitable investment today. Jot your thoughts down and talk to people who may have similar interests. You should join an organization you admire.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone you thought you could trust may mislead you. Take your time and don’t make promises. Follow your intuition and do whatever you must to protect your assets. Avoid joint accounts or ventures.

Birthday Baby: You aren’t fooled easily, but you do believe what you want to believe. You instinctively know when to make a move and when to stay put. You are colorful, entertaining and unusually gifted.
