Happy Birthday: Getting all worked up will hold you back. Avoid getting involved in rumors that will waste your time and ruin your reputation. Your progress will come from productivity and solid, steady work. The more industrious you are, the more praise you will receive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put pressure on others in order to get your way. Don’t let a partnership that isn’t working get to you. Move onward and upward instead of standing still or living in the past.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be the one to make the move or the decision. Take a position of leadership. If you are fearful of change, you will probably face an unwelcome direction instead of going down a path you want to travel.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A partnership will develop if you network. Love is in the stars, so be sure to pamper your current partner or, if single, get out and look for someone new. An offer you can’t refuse will develop suddenly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look beyond what’s dragging you down and you will see an out that will work for you. Emotional matters will lead to anger if you take the bait. Instead, spend your time with people who have similar interests or who work in your field.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stick close to home and your loved ones and you will get the chance to relax and forget about your troubles. Avoid travel and heated discussions with virtual strangers. Pick your friends carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Alter your routine and you will keep everyone guessing. A deal or financial transaction can be settled if you are practical and lay out your strategy. Look for any change that will make what you do a little different from any competition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Luck is with you so don’t fear making decisions or proceeding with something that you want to pursue. Your insight will provide an opportunity to raise your status. Someone will want to partner with you or help you reach a goal you’ve set.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let emotional issues get to you. A strong sense of who you are and what you are capable of will be required if you want to stay on top. Problems at home or with personal paperwork will lead to anxiety and possible arguments.
