Happy Birthday: Don’t lose sight of what you really want or let your emotions give you an excuse not to follow through. This year, your journey is about your goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): No fear will lead to adventure and excitement. Love is in the stars and meeting new people will turn into a medley of interesting events. A chance to make a power play in your favor is probable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Open up and be honest, especially about something you believe in or a relationship that is going through difficulty. Money can’t buy friendship or love but it can destroy the foundation of close connections you are involved in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t stop until you have reached your goals. You can raise your self-esteem and set higher standards that will help you strive for more in all aspects of your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Openness, honesty and a willingness to compromise will be required where serious relationships are concerned. If the party involved doesn’t reciprocate, rethink your strategy and possibly move on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The decisions and extra thought you put into your vocation will improve your position as the month progresses. An offer from someone you know outside of work must be considered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Avoid an emotional argument that could potentially lead to a parting of the ways. Back down if you want to keep the peace but don’t expect the problem to go away. Rethink your strategy and find alternatives.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You should be getting out and doing fun things or at least attending an event that interests you. There is a lot to consider regarding your lifestyle and where you see yourself heading in the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Open up to suggestions being offered by outsiders. Anyone too close to your situation will not be of any help. Be willing to make a few concessions in order to get things done. There are gains to be made.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let your excitement and desire for adventure get the better of you. Think matters through before you jump in with both feet. You may get more than you bargained for, especially where authority figures or red tape issues are concerned.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone may try to borrow or take advantage of you today. Offer wisdom, not your cash or you may end up in an emotionally draining situation. Be helpful but practical.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Participate in events, fundraisers or anything that will allow you to put your humanitarian traits to good use. You will impress the people around you and that can promote a healthy love connection with someone you are currently with or someone new, if you are single.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A pushy or demanding attitude will backfire, leaving you in the lurch. You have to set your own standard if you want things to go your way but be fair with the people you are dealing with. Otherwise, you will end up having to go it alone.

Birthday Baby: You are disciplined, but imaginative, caring but pragmatic. You are proactive, direct and friendly but know how to keep your distance.
