Happy Birthday: Focus will be what’s important and finishing what you start this year. Success will depend on how well you do things not on how many things you do. Emotions will be tested this year so stay in control. Sometimes less is more.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can make some good connections if you take a course or travel. Someone you like isn’t likely to be happy with your choices but he or she will come around when they realize what you are doing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your heart is in the right place. Plan events with people you enjoy or, if you have children, do something that will enhance your relationship with them. A list of the things that will help to make your year end a little easier should be noted and put into play.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel as if someone is pushing and pulling you in two different directions. Don’t be so adaptable if you want things to turn out in your favor. Make your mind up and follow your own path.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will be forced to put more time and effort into a job that someone is counting on you to finish. Don’t let your emotions get in the way and slow you down. Your peers aren’t likely to do things your way so work alone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can make yourself heard and gain popularity if you are aggressive in your pursuits today. Someone will help you get ahead but refrain from paying this person or promising something that will be difficult for you to live up to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to watch what everyone around you is doing. Don’t make sudden changes or decisions that will affect your home life or future. Be smart and observe what everyone else is doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Plan a trip or get involved in something that will allow you to experience something new. A choice regarding your next career move can be made. Don’t burn bridges – someone you may be angry with right now will make it up to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do what you can to secure your position. Be responsible and get things done or you will give the wrong impression and perhaps be considered unreliable or too slow. Stop thinking so much about what you have to do and start doing it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be into everything but not everyone around you will be happy about it. You have to pick and choose with whom you deal. Don’t make assumptions or overreact if you want to get ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will be concerned with commitment, contracts and love. Tie up any loose ends that may leave you in a precarious position. You can wheel and deal today and put anything that has been bothering you behind you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An opportunity must be taken advantage of even if someone you are partnered with disagrees. He or she may not fully understand what is involved. Try to explain but don’t back down. You need to get moving in a new direction – and now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Think about your future before you go making a rash decision that can influence a partnership you are involved in. A love relationship will reveal some interesting characteristics. If you are really meant to be with one another, you will both make an effort.

Birthday Baby: You are totally unpredictable. You are strong, worldly and always where the action is. You are outgoing, opportunistic and colorful.
