ARIES (March 21-April 19): Live a little and love a little but, most of all, be a participant. You must take advantage of the opportunities all around you. Money is heading your way and love is on your doorstep.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Talk to people who can make a difference to the outcome of any situation you are involved in. Don’t rely on your usual sources – someone will let you down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out and network, mingle and expand your interests. Take the initiative to do something good or nice for someone else and you will make an impression. Love is on the rise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will definitely learn something today through your interactions with others and through your dealings with organizations. Don’t be caught off-guard. Hemming and hawing will put you in a precarious position. Act fast and efficiently.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not everyone will be honest with you about what he or she actually thinks. You have to read between the lines if you want to get a true picture. Act on the facts you have not on the way you feel. A love interest may lead you down the wrong path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Money can be yours today if you make demands and are willing to put yourself on the line. Travel will be costly and will probably not bring the results you are looking for. Spend a little money on your looks, appearance and surroundings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can get yourself into trouble if you are too talkative or share your opinions with family, friends or neighbors. Focus on deals and getting ahead. The less you have to explain to others, the better. A settlement, inheritance or gift is heading your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look at the big picture and calculate what you must do to get a piece of the pie. You have to be a participant. A sharp mind and unique approach will help to reposition someone in your favor.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can be as changeable as you like but, keep in mind that some people will see that as being inconsistent, irresponsible or wishy-washy.

The longer you wait to make your position known, the less influence you will have.

Birthday Baby: You are charming and an ardent lover. You know no limits when it comes to getting what you want. You learn quickly and show great fortitude when challenged or placed in a competitive situation.
