Happy Birthday: Travel, learning and expanding your friendships, knowledge and spiritual direction should be on your to-do list. Don’t miss out on the chance to do something that could lead to a brighter future. Rid yourself of the people and things that are standing in your way – it’s time to put yourself first.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will have added discipline that will allow you to follow through with your self-improvement plans. Your dedication to doing something wholeheartedly will impress the people you meet along the way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Charm and diplomacy will help you get what you want. You can make a tremendous difference to the people around you by being open about the way you see things unfolding. Personal changes should be considered.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be feeling restless and in need of change. Don’t consider trying to get away with something today. You will be caught in your own trap if you do. A chance to do something creative will help to calm your nerves.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mix business with pleasure if at all possible. Romance is in the stars but avoid people who are already involved with someone else. Travel arrangements will be disrupted or not go according to plan.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Going somewhere exotic should be your plan today. You will feel greater commitment to the people you care about as well as to the endeavors you wish to pursue. Love should be a top priority.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Show your worth and stand up for your beliefs. You are likely to face opposition but, if you back down now, you will regret it in the future. It may be time to move on or take a different approach.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your mind will be on distant lands or on doing something unusual, entertaining and playful. You can make things happen if you share your ideas and coax others to help you with your plans. A romantic encounter is apparent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your wits about you. Someone may have something interesting to say but it may not be as functional an idea when put into play. Protect yourself and your assets and focus on your own creative ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Think about the future. You are up for plenty of change and now is as good a time as any to start making plans. Arguments are likely to develop if you discuss your intentions with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It may be the weekend but your mind will probably be fixated on ways to get ahead professionally. Step outside the normal and consider unusual options. You need a change that will teach you something new.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love interests will mount. Make plans to do something with someone you really care about. You won’t agree with someone in your family or someone you live with. Avoid confrontations by taking action, not with verbal abuse.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone may try to derail your belief system. Don’t get frazzled. You don’t have to defend what you stand for or push your beliefs on others. Be thankful you have such solid convictions. Take care of personal financial matters.
