Happy Birthday: Don’t count on things running smoothly. Be prepared this year to fight for what you want. Additional responsibilities will be dumped in your lap but, if you are selective in what you take on, you will fare well. Don’t be fooled by what other people tell you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you have something to present, promote or to push, you will have a captive audience. Make contacts through the Internet that can help you further your goals. Don’t let someone close to you stand in your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Plenty will be hidden so don’t base your decision solely on what is apparent. Dig deeper for the details that could cause you grief should you take a risk. Listen to someone with more experience but don’t act on what anyone tells you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There will be opportunities but things around you will move rapidly and you will have to think on your feet if you want to make the right choices. Avoid any situation that is subject to sudden changes that could affect your position or the dynamics of a group you are working with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be fed up and thinking about going in a new direction but, if you stick it out where you are, things will settle down, leaving you in a good position. Time is on your side. A few simple changes at home will brighten your day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will make a great impression on the people you encounter today if you follow your heart and show your dedication to whatever cause you are pursuing. Your competitive drive will not let you down. Love is in a high cycle but avoid secret affairs.
