Happy Birthday: Regrets are a waste of time – it’s what’s happening now and in the future that counts. You can make money, changes and moves this year if you are focused and practical when making decisions. Eliminate your debt. This is not the year to waste a moment when you have so much potential and the opportunities to excel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before you jump to conclusions or say something you may regret, rethink what the outcome might be. You don’t want to end the year on a sour note. Problems while driving or with communications can be expected, so take things nice and slow today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let anyone push responsibilities your way that don’t belong to you. Children or older relatives may pose a problem for you. Try to relax and you will find it much easier to get through a hectic and disjointed day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If something needs to be done just do it. The more you give yourself time to think about how much is expected of you, the harder it will be for you to get things done. Someone from your past is likely to surface.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Relax – give yourself a break. Make plans to get together with friends or network with colleagues and you will learn valuable information. Don’t overindulge, however, or you may end up in a bit of a scuffle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your emotions may be difficult to control. Don’t let anyone cause you to make a quick or erratic decision. Travel will lead to mishaps with people who may not be totally honest with you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Gifts, winnings and good fortune are heading your way. A change in your current direction will lead to good benefits. Don’t let someone in a position to influence take charge of a situation you should control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t push your luck with acquaintances. Don’t put yourself in a potentially dangerous position. Stick close to home and spend a quiet day with someone you trust and love.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel you are being pushed in too many directions but you have to make up your mind if you want to stop spinning your wheels and move forward. Pick a direction, a project or a course that you want to pursue and prepare to do so.
