ARIES (March 21-April 19): A trip, taking a course or attending a conference or tradeshow will open your mind to new ideas. Be careful not to tread on toes of someone who can influence your progress. Love and romance are looking good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A change in the way you live and how you do things is evident. Contracts can be signed and changes to your future put into play. You will get help from someone older, however, it will come to you in an unusual manner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There are too many variables to make any firm decision today. You may want to take time out, enjoy the company of friends or family and forget about everything else. When the time is right, you’ll know what to do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There may be some problems that crop up regarding a colleague, peer or even one of your pets. Don’t let any minor health issues turn into something bigger. Tend to things personally and quickly and you will have no regrets.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is the perfect day to spend time with people you love or to get out and find someone new. If you have children, get involved in activities that you can do together. Most of all, focus on friends and family but don’t overspend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t believe everything you hear. Something you are trying to do will not work out the way you want because funds are lacking or someone is causing you grief. Put your differences aside.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tie up loose ends and do what you must to stay within your budget. Stay in control by not allowing anyone to take over or push you in a direction you feel isn’t in your best interest. You can do just fine alone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your emotions will be difficult to control and, if you let your heart lead your head, you are likely to make mistakes. Listen but do not make promises. Overindulging will be your downfall. Limit yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get the lowdown on any deal that interests you. Chances are good that you can make some cash or position yourself well for your next move. Residential moves or changes will provide you with what you need to improve your status.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone from your past will offer you something that is hard to turn down. Think carefully before accepting – you will probably get an even sweeter deal. You can turn something you enjoy doing into a prosperous venture.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Back away from anyone asking for cash. You will probably have to make some changes that will affect the people you either live with or are close to.

Birthday Baby: Fearless, adventuresome and charming can lead to precarious situations throughout life. You can see the big picture clearly and you are quick to react to whatever happens. You are strong, intense and unwilling to back down.
