Happy Birthday: Don’t be held hostage by a promise you made way back when things were different in your life. Nothing stays the same and you need the freedom to take advantage of some amazing proposals this year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the plunge by getting involved in a learning experience. You owe it to yourself to push for your own success. A couple of strategic moves on your part and doors will open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Address issues dealing with your personal life and the people in it. Be honest, so you can get to the bottom of a stressful situation. Anyone expecting you to pay his or her way or for a mistake made should think again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you love somebody, let him or her know how you feel. The response you get will help you make a decision regarding your future. A move may be in the picture but don’t be too quick.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A serious decision can be made regarding a partnership you are in. Pull in the reins and refuse to let anyone put you in a vulnerable position. Put an end to the situations that aren’t working for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sign up for anything that sounds like fun. You’ll be the life of the party, the go-to person, the one everybody wants to spend time with. That doesn’t mean you should pay for others. Love and romance are in the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Step outside your world and try something totally different. A new activity or a group you join will enlighten you, giving you the strength needed to make your own life better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Book yourself on a mini vacation or take time out to spend with the people who appreciate you the most. Love is in the stars. Getting out where you feel safe, relaxed and surrounded with friends will inspire you the most.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Travel plans can be made but make sure your reason behind spending money on a trip is valid. If a trip is meant to strengthen a personal relationship, do it but stick to your budget.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t move in haste to make changes. Take time to observe others’ reactions. Your timing isn’t quite right and launching something before its time will backfire. An argument with a partner may lead to a parting of the ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Help outsiders but, if you plan to give a cash donation, research the group first. You will be tempted to try to impress someone by being generous and that isn’t likely to do the trick. You have plenty to offer instead of cash.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Talk to people who can help you move in a better direction. You don’t have to go it alone – ask for help. A change in your status is apparent and will come about due to a serious partnership you are involved in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take a new look at an old situation. If you are displeased with some of the connections in your life, rid yourself of the deadweight. Avoid traveling or getting into precarious situations that could develop into a shouting match. Stay calm and ride out the storm.

Birthday Baby: You are a charmer and explorer. You are insightful, practical and quick to respond. You are ahead of your time – a real trendsetter.
