Happy Birthday: This year will bring interesting changes where finances, partnerships and dealing with people who need a helping hand are concerned. Emotions will only get in the way and cause mistakes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let being hot-headed hold you back. This is the perfect day to fight the crowds and get out and do some sale shopping. A short trip to see someone who can make a difference to your future should bring about a financial gain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make plans to do something with a good friend or your lover. Attending the theater or a cultural event will enhance your interest in something you’ve always wanted to do or someplace you’ve wanted to go.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep money and personal issues separate. You stand to lose if you let someone sweet-talk you out of your cash. A new partnership can develop but can fall apart just as quickly if you can’t come to a mutual agreement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you get the chance, work on something that you feel will bring you a profit in the new year. Someone you like will want to get involved in what you are working on. Don’t trust anyone who plays with your emotions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Traveling will help you discover something new about yourself and your future. Someone from your past will get in touch with you. Take a second look. This person is probably an asset to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A chance to make money is evident but at what sacrifice will be the question. You have to nurture your personal life if you don’t want to face life-altering changes. A gift, winnings or money will come to you in an unusual way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You should be out having fun with people who can contribute to something you are working on. Travel and putting together a deal can be accomplished today. Don’t let your emotions stop you from following through.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will want to get back to business as quickly as possible and, although some of the contacts won’t be available, that shouldn’t stop you from putting together a deal. It’s your resourcefulness now that will help you out later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have everything going for you so do your best to convince others to get involved. Changes at home, making a move or opening up to someone you want to get to know better will all be in your best interest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be surprised by someone who questions your motives today. Approach an organization that you believe in and see if they are interested in doing something with you in the new year. Your ideas will be impressive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will get wind of a possibility that will help you raise your financial situation or change your status. A partnership that has been holding you back can be ended once and for all. Acceptance and willingness to try something new will be required.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful how you handle others today. One slip may change the dynamics of a deal you are working on or a friendship that means a lot to you.

A trip may not go as hoped. Keep things simple.

Birthday Baby: You are dedicated, hardworking and a team player. You value a dollar and will always know how to turn a little into a lot. You are resourceful, candid and fun to be around.
