Happy Birthday: You may be forced to incorporate changes into your lifestyle that you really weren’t ready to accept. Don’t be confused by what others do; follow through with your own plans and base your decisions on your own experience. Love and romance are in the stars this year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be subject to changes that you may not expect. Don’t get angry – it won’t help your situation. Handle situations professionally as they arise. Your actions will determine what happens next.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be careful how you handle the people around you. A slip of the tongue or giving the wrong impression or spreading a rumor will come back to haunt you. Think and act fast if you want to avoid unwanted changes

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stay calm, cool and collected and you will rule today. Let someone you live or work with get to you and you are likely to blow a fuse. See someone who can offer you suggestions regarding your future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t slack now when it is apparent you have an opportunity to advance. A change in your financial situation is evident so take advantage of a deal. Check out what’s being offered professionally in other locations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Lots of changes are heading your way. Uncertainty isn’t something you relish but today it will be better not to make any final decisions. You are likely to change your mind many times before you are certain of a direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone will have a hidden agenda. Changes in your career or within an organization you are involved with will take you by surprise. Keep your mind on what you are doing so that minor mishaps don’t occur.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is a feel-good day that calls for contributions. The more you can do to help a group you believe in, the better you will feel. You will hook up with someone who will play a major role in your life in a couple of years.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may think you understand the dynamics of the relationships around you but you are probably way off in your assumptions. Take a step back and you’ll soon realize you aren’t in control today. Look to someone with more experience for guidance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A smooth talker will try to win your favor. Be smart: Play his or her game but don’t buy in. A little romance should be in order and perhaps planning a short trip or a special outing will lead to a closer bond.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your mind should be on money and what you have to do to make more of it. Take a stab at consolidating your debts, collecting what’s owed you and setting a strict budget. Use your creative ability to get ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to express yourself with actions today if you want to get your point across. It’s what you do, not what you say, that will count. A deal or contract can now be completed. Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs.

Birthday Baby: You strive for perfection and are critical of everything you do. You have a strong desire to do what’s best and an ability to adapt when necessary. You don’t waste time or mince words.
