Happy Birthday: You are likely to rid yourself this year of a lot of the people and situations that have been bringing you down or holding you back. Then you will be able to move freely in a more suitable direction. If you are aggressive but reasonable in your pursuits, you will find a clear passage to a brighter future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your excitability will be hard to control and going to extremes will get you in trouble. Take time to assess situations. You will get upset, angry and stressed out if you act before you think.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Listen to what’s being said but don’t get all excited about the potential of something you know little about. Someone will exaggerate in order to interest you. Don’t be led astray by temptation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep building momentum and you will recover anything you may have lost recently. Your do-it-yourself plan should turn out well, enabling you to get things done according to your own specifications. A new acquaintance will complement your plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will have two options, making it difficult for you to decide. You have to take action or you will appear to be a pushover. Being attentive or willing to compromise will be required.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A day trip will prove to be good in terms of what you learn and whom you meet. A romantic encounter is looking good but don’t brag or exaggerate. Shopping may be costly but you will find something that will enhance your looks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take on too much at home. Dealing with contractors or service people will lead to a costly and unnecessary venture. Open-mindedness will be the key to happiness and discussions will enable you to see both sides of the coin.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A push-pull situation is likely to occur. Focus on something you like to do, rather than dealing with someone who is putting demands on you. Discord will result if you are aggressive. A challenge will take you by surprise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may be anxious to get a move on it but last-minute travel plans may be altered, leaving you in a decision-making position. Do what you can over the Internet or phone. You can accomplish just as much if you are precise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Emotions may be difficult to control but, if you set the stage and complete what you say you are going to, you will win in the end. Don’t be a quitter and you will prove to everyone that you are a responsible leader.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be thinking too big or underestimating the value of someone you need by your side. Don’t be too quick to make a decision that may influence a partnership. Reevaluate your position and your future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have plenty of options. There is money to be made if you take part in a project that calls for your expertise. Don’t sell yourself short, thinking you don’t have as much to offer as everyone else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The people you meet at events or through activities you participate in will change your life. Someone you thought you could trust will let you down. Do not reveal your position on any matter that could damage your reputation.

Birthday Baby: You can convince anyone of anything. You are charming, a hard worker and up for any challenge. You are dedicated to your beliefs and not likely to let anyone lead you astray.
