Happy Birthday: You may be questioning your life and your direction right now. Don’t overreact to what is going on around you. Consider what you have to work with and what you are capable of doing and start making applicable changes. If you want something badly enough, set your priorities and concentrate on what you can accomplish.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can take everyone by surprise by doing the unexpected. Don’t expect loved ones to be pleased but, if it works for you, go for it. A visit with someone who has experience will help considerably.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let anyone railroad you into doing things you’d prefer not to do. If you follow your own needs and participate in things that will introduce you to new acquaintances and methods of doing things, you will prosper in the end.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Helping others and doing the best you can will be what counts today. If you slack off or give in to temptations, you will backtrack instead of moving forward. Don’t cut corners or someone will bring it to your attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need some personal and professional changes in your life. It’s difficult for you to accept change, but sometimes it’s the only way out. A new relationship with someone you work with will turn out well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fast actions may be your only recourse if you are facing opposition at home. A quick trip or networking with the right people can help you close a deal or start a prosperous new venture. There is money to be made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The people closest to you will not understand what you are trying to do. A change of heart may leave you wondering what to do next. You should take action rather than living a lie.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If memories spark a renewed interest in something you wanted to do in the past, look into what action will complete your dream. Help is on the way and partnerships are looking quite favorable. Put a new spin on something you do well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have no idea how close you are to getting what you want but, unless you are willing to believe in yourself, you may miss the opportunity. A change is in the stars and that can equate to a better financial position.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nothing will be out in the open or readily available for you to get a clear picture. Don’t make hasty decisions. Be smart and play the waiting game if you want to come out on top.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put time aside for the people you care about. Mix business with pleasure and include family or your lover in your plans. Now is a great time to share your intentions and your true feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick to what you know and don’t believe the gossip. Go to the source if you really want to find out what’s going on. Don’t be a victim to someone else’s poor taste. Listen and be compassionate but don’t make a move just yet.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have so much going for you romantically, financially, contractually and legally, so don’t waste any time. Keep things simple, don’t be greedy and compromise to get ahead. Apologize to someone you hurt in the past so you can work together now.

Birthday Baby: You are intuitive, emotional and very personable. You are outgoing and dynamic and care about what happens in your community. You offer your services generously.
