Happy Birthday: Getting involved in new activities or groups that can broaden your awareness will also help you meet new people and even find someone who wants to partner with you on a project this year. Stop holding on to the past. The new may be a little daunting, but once you get started, you will feel just as comfortable as you have in the past.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t limit yourself because you are insecure or afraid. It will be your loss if you don’t stand up for yourself and your needs. You may think someone has a greater interest in you than he or she actually does.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Something is brewing behind your back. Don’t give away information that may cause you grief in the future. Research will be necessary if you want to stay ahead of the game. Don’t spread yourself too thin.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is an excellent day to make changes, even if you are reluctant to do so. New groups, associates and friends will show you new ways of doing things. A work proposal will turn out to be an adventure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be aware that someone is probably leading you on or astray. Deal with matters directly instead of leaving it up to someone else. Don’t let your emotions interfere with your professional goals or you will stumble financially.
