Happy Birthday: Life will certainly be exciting this year. Expect to have to change your mind or direction often. Your ability to take control will bring you added respect overall but someone who is jealous of you is likely to oppose your suggestions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Show your serious side and you will leave an entirely different impression. You can make a difference to those who depend on you. Communications will be important but don’t feel you have to be face-to-face to get what you are asking for.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make an appointment for a massage, facial or any other means of pampering yourself. Now’s the perfect time to invest in yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep a lid on what you are doing. This isn’t the time to trust anyone not to steal your ideas or take credit for something you did. A closer look at what is happening around you will help you see what you need to do to be competitive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ve got the right idea so what’s the hold up? Promote what you want to do. The more you network, the better. You will be able to make some very favorable changes at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make adjustments to your personal papers before the weekend. You have to have everything organized to move ahead with matters of home, family and profession.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be called upon to do things a little differently. A personal issue may need your undivided attention and, if you don’t accommodate, it may cost you financially.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take time out to do something that you find enjoyable, creative and inspiring. A different approach to how you handle others will be necessary. Don’t get angry; do something to rectify the situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep on working to make the most of an obvious opportunity. Set up a space at home that allows you to finish the tedious but important jobs. A lucky break will bring about some healthy alterations to your environment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be caught in a guessing game today. No one will be straightforward. It will be important not to cause bad feelings with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a look at property investments or money matters that have been causing you grief in the past. You can collect an old debt or come into money you weren’t expecting. A serious matter can be handled with much greater ease today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can take a far more serious attitude toward your personal and business relationships. This is the perfect day to renew or go over your agreements of the past.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t take things too personally or you may put yourself in a difficult position when it comes to partnerships. Listen, observe and prepare to adapt if necessary.

Concentrate on what you can do to put others at ease.
