Happy Birthday: You have to work fast to take advantage of an opportunity you’ve been ignoring. This is a great year for love, romance and both business and personal partnerships. Get your life moving in an upward direction. Use your ingenuity and good taste and you will get ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may have to take care of partnership issues. Don’t let any dealings with institutions get put on the back burner. Don’t let anyone persuade you to do things you don’t feel good about.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Concentrate on taking control of your future. You’ll get a chance to do something with someone you respect and admire. Someone you do business with probably has a greater interest in you than just work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t sabotage yourself with far-fetched ideas. Leave your unorthodox methods on the back burner. You’ll have plenty of time to implement them once everyone discovers your hidden talents.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stop trying to please everyone. Concentrate on changing your looks, your attitude and your knowledge. Take a course or a short trip that exposes a different way of life. The results will be enlightening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have the stage, so do your best to get everyone to understand what you are trying to do. Explain your goals so you’ll get the help you need. Talking about partnership deals and contracts will be to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Work hard and you will get results. Being rigid is exactly what will hold you back today. Something unusual will capture the interest of someone who recognizes your talent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Change is your middle name today, so don’t hide from a good thing. You have to take a chance if you want to be successful. The chance to meet someone who can influence your future looks promising.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not everyone will be on your side, but that shouldn’t stop you from following through with your plans. A chance to sign a contract with a financial wizard looks promising. Renovations will turn out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Luck may be with you and money can be made, but if you are too frivolous it will slip through your fingers. Helping others will bring future returns and build a positive reputation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may think you have things under control, but don’t be too sure or you could fall short of your expectations. Don’t give out information that may be used against you in the future. Cover your tracks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stop avoiding something that needs to be dealt with now. You will feel so much better once you put matters behind you. Love is looking positive and opportunities are available to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Incorporate much-needed change at home. Money you didn’t work for will come your way. You could see an investment pay off, a tax rebate or insurance surrender, inheritance or winning.

Birthday Baby: You are a peacemaker, an advocate of justice and fair play. You can see both sides of any issue. You are a leader who is creative, caring and compassionate.
