Happy Birthday: You will be able to turn any negative you face into a positive as long as you control your emotions and focus on what really counts. There is money to be made if you stick to your plans.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t waste time: Talk matters through to see where you stand. You have lots to accomplish today. Ask questions, and that will help speed up the process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pull in all the help you need rather than getting worked up over nothing. The time to put in the hours and hard work is now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Shopping with a friend or trying an activity you have always wanted to pursue will get your heart racing and bring you in touch with your true feelings about life, love and happiness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be pulled in directions that you wouldn’t normally go, intrigued by something or someone that may not be good for you. Don’t be too eager to trust or believe someone you haven’t known for long.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can sort out personal matters today if you are honest about the way you feel and what you want. Love may be in question if you aren’t happy in your current situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get your work out of the way so you can enjoy the weekend. Travel plans should be in the works but don’t let them cost you too much. You can have fun on a shoestring. Love shouldn’t cost you financially.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Address emotional issues today and, although you can resolve what’s bothering you, expect someone to grumble about your decision. You need to clear any misgivings up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t trust what is going on around you. Someone is probably not in total agreement with you, even if he or she has given you the impression you have his or her blessing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look for the path of least resistance today to avoid a lot of turmoil, feuds and problems. A creative plan for an entertaining evening with colleagues or someone who can help you get ahead will pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t trust your emotions to lead you in the right direction. If you are feeling stressed or as if someone is pressuring you, back away. It’s better to take your time and be certain. Prepare to say no and walk away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take time off with loved ones or just to hang out at home. Property, real estate, investments, settlements and legal matters can all be resolved if you use your intelligence to move forward with what it is you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A pleasure trip will lead to fun and games. The people you meet and the information you receive will help you in the future. There is plenty to learn if you are open to suggestions and willing to try new things.
