Happy Birthday: Don’t let the uncertainty you are feeling stop you from following through with your plans. Consider how you can overhaul your look, your lodgings or even your love life. It will only turn into a wasted year if you don’t discover a new direction. Rid yourself of all that isn’t working for you anymore.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your stubborn nature will get you in hot water today. Because you won’t take no for an answer, you aren’t likely to get what you expect. Be clever in your approach to others. The impression you make is likely to affect your future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make plans to visit someone you find interesting. You can make some adjustments where your career is concerned to ease some of the stress you’ve been feeling. As much as you like to keep the peace, a business associate may force you into an awkward position.
