Happy Birthday: So much can be accomplished this year no matter your stage of life. Learning and applying what you know will help you reach your goals. This is a year of working hard, climbing the ladder and feeling proud of what you achieve.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Chat someone up if you are interested in him or her personally or professionally. Your outgoing know-it-all nature will pay off today. The more you do to reassure those around you, the more you will get in return.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will feel the need to make some changes to your home or living arrangements. Personal responsibilities may interfere with something you were planning to do. Be organized and ready to make concessions if you want to complete what you start.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may not be included in something you expected be a part of. If you complain, you will probably lose out but, if you do your own thing, you will leave whoever left you out wondering what you are doing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t push your plans on others. Trying to talk someone into doing things your way will be futile. You will face financial problems if you try to push through a deal that isn’t sitting on solid ground. Adopt a healthier lifestyle; you’ve probably been neglecting yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve got the gift of gab today and should put it to good use. You can convince others to take part in something you want to do. Money can be made and deals completed. You can make physical changes that will enhance your appearance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will be emotionally wasted today if you get involved in someone else’s melodramas. Meddling may be your forte but today it will backfire, leaving you in the hot seat. Debates will only lead to a stalemate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Romance is looking good if you get involved in functions that include friends, family or neighbors. If someone doesn’t immediately attract, give this person a chance to win your respect and capture your heart. A good conversationalist is far more entertaining.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Past regrets or feeling you missed out should be put to rest. Today is about the future and how you can turn things around. This is the time to push ahead. Believing in your talents will be half the battle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty. Someone may try to confront you about personal matters – do what you can to avoid his or her comments. Give yourself a chance to think about the pros and cons of making life-altering changes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have to keep a secret that makes you feel uneasy. Do so in a discreet manner and put the matter behind you. Make some changes regarding your friendships and your associations. Know whom you can trust.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You must not feel obligated to help a group or even a friend financially. Offer your guidance, understanding and know-how but not cash. A new acquaintance can lead to a venture that interests you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Arguments will leave you feeling exhausted and your own stubbornness will be at fault. Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Positive connections can be made if you are willing to bend and compromise.

Birthday Baby: You are determined, entertaining and a smooth operator. You are creative, emotional and willing to push as hard as you have to to get your way. You have insight, courage and strength of character.
