ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have to keep moving and applying yourself today if you want to get ahead. There will be financial, legal or medical issues to deal with but don’t get discouraged. A change in your status is apparent if you are patient.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): With less work and more play you’ll discover new friends, closer connections to the people you already know and a strong bond with your children (if you have any). It’s time to focus on what makes you happy, not what you feel you have to do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep your thoughts to yourself today. You will be taken the wrong way or given the wrong information if you discuss your plans with others. Overreacting, overdoing and overspending will be your weaknesses. Refrain from indulgences.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be afraid to do things differently. A change of pace or scenery will stimulate your thinking. Talk about your plans with loved ones. The possibilities are endless but it will take initiative to get things underway.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Self-deception will lead to trouble. Be honest about the way you feel and what you want to do with regard to your personal life, partnerships and future direction. Today is a good day to explore the possibilities and initiate change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may have a lot riding on your performance today. Be creative, precise and practical if you want to make a lasting impression. Don’t get too close to someone you have to work alongside.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Concentrate on what will bring you the most in return today. Network, play with your kids, do something creative or visit somewhere that you can be pampered. The time to be in love and show your feelings is now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can get a lot done if you stick to the task at hand but, if you let someone interfere, you will experience setbacks. Don’t let emotional issues cloud your vision. A change in your plans will benefit you and keep the competition guessing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take action: Nothing you can say at this point will make a difference and, in fact, may take away from what you are trying to do. Stick to basics and don’t venture too far off your original plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t waste time pondering over minute details that, in the big scheme, won’t matter. Tie up loose ends and divulge your plans so you can put everything else behind you. You are thinking straight, so don’t let anyone confuse you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Emotional matters will surface and partnerships may be questioned. Reevaluate your position and you’ll realize what has to be done to correct the past or to make things better in the future. A love connection can be taken to a deeper level.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone may be trying to pull one over on you but, if you are on top of matters, you can counteract whatever is going on behind the scenes. Listen and observe. Arguing will be a waste of time; instead, take action.

Birthday Baby: You are articulate and very demonstrative. You are unpredictable and popular, playing to win and settling for nothing less than what you want.
