Happy Birthday: The better equipped you are to adapt and think on your feet, the more you will enjoy your upcoming year. You can make great strides if you aren’t rigid and are willing to put in the hours to finish what you start. Separate your personal and professional lives, and you will do well in both areas.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can do anything you set your mind to. Make a point of letting the people in your life know how you feel and what your intentions are. A financial opportunity looks promising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be too sure the people around you are on your side. You will find out you stand alone if you try to push your views. It may not be the best time to engage in something you know little about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You won’t have time to think today, but if you act on your instincts, you are likely to make positive things happen. You will be able to come up with unique ideas that will grab the attention of someone you’ve been trying to interest in your plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Something very unusual will surround financial or legal matters. Take a closer look and do whatever you can to sort out anything that doesn’t look quite right. Avoid getting involved in a joint venture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be a little confused in emotional matters or affairs of the heart. Don’t let that stop your generous Leo personality from helping others. Don’t overspend or take on more than you can handle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A colleague or peer may make you feel insecure. Persevere until you get past any of the obstacles placed in your way. Sudden changes regarding your personal life will put you in the driver’s seat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Everyone will look to you for advice. Your wide variety of answers will put you in a category by yourself. Money can be made if you put a new spin on something you have been doing for some time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be direct if you want to get things done right. You can expect someone to give you a hard time. Don’t let any little mishap turn into a fiasco. Control whatever situation you face as best you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may impress some of the people you encounter, but someone who can make a difference to your future may not be such a pushover. Make sure you have your facts straight. Preparation will lead to success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone you thought might help you get ahead is not likely to come through for you today. Don’t count on anyone and you will succeed. A secret you are told must be kept.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will have plenty on your mind, but if you neglect the people you are closest to, you will face even greater difficulties. An older relative will need your help and your advice. Do your best, but don’t let him or her take advantage of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dealing with institutions will be difficult and best left until a later date if possible. You won’t get the satisfaction you are looking for through work or business communications. Focus on the lifestyle that best suits you.
