Happy Birthday: Be careful not to take on or promise too much this year. Your problems will stem from running out of time and facing delays and opposition. Be smart and consider that keeping things small and simple will be what leads to your success this year. You can’t let your life spin out of control.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Interacting with others either on the phone, in person or over the Internet will bring about some interesting information that sparks a new idea. You are a pioneer and it’s time to break ground in areas that other people have not even considered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Somehow you have to make some changes in your life. Don’t expect to get any help from others. You will feel so much better once you can see you are making progress, especially with children or people who are demanding too much of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you try to implement change, you are likely to take a backwards step. Everything will cost more and take up more time than you first thought. Someone will try to take advantage of you, so be on guard.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): With a little luck and a whole lot of talent and insight, you will get ahead and gain respect and popularity today. Make changes that will enhance what you have to offer and will enable you to make a profit in the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may want to take a trip or attend a conference but consider the cost involved. Instead, do your research over the Internet. Invite friends over to help you with a few changes you want to make around the house. Don’t miss out on an opportunity for romance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let changes taking place around you cause alarm. Money can be made through real estate, investments, winnings, inheritance or collecting an old debt. Stay calm and in control.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be quick to respond. Travel will help you out where love and romance are concerned. A serious talk with someone you really want to spend more time with will lead to a better understanding of what’s to come.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you haven’t taken the time to let your family and close friends know how you feel or what you expect, perhaps today is the day. A little honesty will go a long way. Deal with emotional issues now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Forget about outsiders when it comes to your plans. Go right to the source and you’ll find out where you stand and how far you can go. Love looks very promising so let your feelings be known.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your mind will be racing and your ideas flowing freely. Moneymaking opportunities are apparent and making changes that will lead to a more suitable position or direction will be yours. Put your skills to work for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s what you do for others that will count today. Your motives must be valid. You will only be fooling yourself if you aren’t honest about your activities, habits and intentions. Instead of giving lip service, prepare to follow through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be fooled by what you are being told. Someone is probably trying to lead you in the wrong direction. Find out what you need to know from a reliable source before you make a decision that could be potentially costly.

Birthday Baby: You are sensitive, emotional and original. You are charming and candid. You are full of surprises, making snap decisions and unexpected choices.
