Happy Birthday: Rely on the experiences you have had in order to make the right choices this year. Use both compassion and common sense to zigzag your way through the ups and downs that face you. You must prepare for the future but not before you tie up loose ends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is no excuse today: You must finish what you start. Your reputation may be at stake if you have been making promises and not delivering the goods. Be realistic about expectations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on love, friendships and learning all you can to better yourself. Help will be made available to you and, if you are prepared to share your thoughts and ideas, you will position yourself well for future prospects.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick to what you know you can do. A change in your vocation or educational direction will lead to some interesting comments that should help you make a final decision. Don’t mix business with pleasure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be strong and believe in your abilities. Someone will recognize what you are trying to do and come to your aid. Anger will not get you what you want. Leave a little time for love and romance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Now is not the time to share your secrets or your ideas. Someone is likely to take advantage of you. Focus on having fun with friends or family. Nothing can be gained by making a move today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get involved in community events or whatever can get you out of the house. You need to avoid disputes and busy yourself with something you care about. You will buy yourself valuable time and escape unnecessary turmoil.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you can dream it, you can become it. Check out courses that interest you. Someone who is trying to control your world must be held at arm’s length. You can come up with a good plan to rid yourself of the people and things holding you back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Confidence and organization will be what it takes to convince others to use your services or what you have to offer or to sell. A love relationship will make you happy and fuel your enthusiasm by complementing your talents.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful not to sell yourself short. You are better off to refuse an offer or to opt out of a deal that isn’t going to give you everything you want. Change is inevitable, so take it for what it is and deal with it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): No one has to know what you are up to. The more you have in place without anyone meddling, the better. A love interest will mount if you put time aside for a little romance. Relax late in the day with someone who thinks the world of you.
