Happy Birthday: Your ability to move with the times and jump from one thing to another will impress people who can further your plans this year. Build your base solidly; this is not the year to scrimp.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you try to use someone else’s methods or ideas, they won’t work for you. Don’t waste your time thinking that someone else can get a better end result. Believe in yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If there is something you don’t like about yourself or your life, change it. You don’t have to do everything by yourself – ask friends, neighbors or family to pitch in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Plan a day trip that will spark your imagination and lead to a new idea. The dynamics of a partnership you are involved in will take a turn, leaving you controlling the outcome. Communication will be the key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t push or you will get shoved in return. Fretting about your position or a situation you face won’t do any good. Instead, make the changes before someone forces you to do so. Protect your interests.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Challenge yourself and you will be proud of the outcome. You can make a move that will ensure happiness in your personal life. You will have a renewed sense of what life is all about if you are progressive and refuse to be a victim.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At some point you have to give in a little. Put your talent and your money to work for you. No matter how little you think you have to offer, it will turn out to be more than enough to help you start moving down a path better suited.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be up and down emotionally if someone you like can’t make up his or her mind. Don’t take a back seat to anything or anyone. Show your strengths, not your weaknesses today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may not be feeling up to par, but once you get moving the tables will turn and opportunities will develop. You’ll move in a new and exciting direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your competitive attitude will be matched by your opponents, so be prepared to give it your all. If you become too confident, you may miss a very strategic move that someone else makes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may want to schedule some time off to relax and rethink your strategy. Better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to your future. Keep things to yourself and take your time – your next move will ensure your success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will feel agitated if you don’t have enough to do today. Get moving by doing something physical and you will feel ready to accomplish far more than normal. A chance to get involved in something unique or creative will change your outlook.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Being a nice person is a good thing most of the time but not when you leave yourself open to being taken advantage of. Put yourself first and start to think about what will make you happy. Rely on your strength and courage.

Birthday Baby: You are aggressive and progressive. You are a leader, compelled to follow your heart and your dreams. You are determined, calculating and competitive.
