Happy Birthday: Be cautious of anyone who is overly accommodating or nice this year. There will be debts to pay if you allow others to do for you. If you can’t handle something on your own, don’t follow that path. Be strong, steadfast and self-oriented this year if you want to get ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Ulterior motives on your part or the part of someone else may lead to a stand-off. Emotions will be high, especially regarding hearsay and those responsible for it. Do your part and avoid criticism.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be afraid to speak up and ask for what you want. You stand a good chance of getting ahead if you are forthright about your goals and intentions. Someone from your past can help you out more than you realize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t make rash decisions based on what someone says in anger. Stay cool and let things settle down and, in the end, you will gain legally, financially and emotionally. Keep the ones you love safe from any dispute or controversy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put everything you’ve got into your partnerships, work and getting along. Don’t let anyone lure you into a conversation that could lead to a disagreement. Chances are someone you live with is looking for a fight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t fantasize about the past. If you really thought about it, you’d realize you don’t want to go back in time. You have lots to look forward to if you give the people who love you a chance to show you how much.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let unfinished jobs bother you. If someone tries to dump added responsibilities on you, don’t argue, just say no.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Things will get blown out of proportion if you are too explicit in your conversations. A secret affair or private matter will run hot and cold, so refrain from sharing your true feelings for the time being. Don’t promise something you can’t deliver.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t take on someone else’s problems. Fend for yourself. Put a little time and money into your surroundings and you will develop a space that is conducive to making more cash or developing new ideas. Emotional matters will slow you down if you let them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you disappoint someone, expect to hear about it. Do whatever it takes to keep the peace. Being stubborn will hurt you in the end and lead to changes that will be hard to live with.
