Happy Birthday: Get ready to begin again, only this time you won’t have to fight as many frustrations along the way. It is your turn to show how far you’ve come and how much you’ve learned. You can and should do something that will help people who are experiencing some of the pitfalls you have already dealt with.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t take to heart what someone says to you today. Participating in something physical will take your mind off the little frustrations you are facing. Your heart is in the right place, so don’t let anyone make you feel guilty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If someone is annoying you, let it go. It won’t be worth your while to become stubborn or to retaliate. Enjoy your time with the people who do understand you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your mind will be moving from one thing to another. You will have plenty to consider when it comes to your future direction. Change is evident, but don’t make a move until you are certain about which way to go.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your emotions will be difficult to control. You will be easily offended by someone’s comments and inclined to respond in a caustic manner. Try to pull yourself together before you make a mistake you’ll live to regret.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be loaded down with everyone else’s responsibilities if you aren’t careful. You should offer suggestions instead of taking over. The less you promise, the better off you will be at the end of the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t sit back sulking when you should be taking part in whatever is going on. You have to be a part of things in order to be able to make reforms or changes. Be courageous and you will set the stage for future troublemakers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Anxiety may get the better of you today. Take a moment to remember all the good things in your life. You can get involved in a new business or personal relationship, but don’t be too aggressive or controlling if you want it to last.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be a little confused as to what to do next. You have left yourself too many options when what you really need to do is focus on what’s most important to you. Think about your goals and the directions you’re heading.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pamper yourself. Love is in the air, and you will be able to entice the person you enjoy doing things with most. Plan something special for two.
