Happy Birthday: Your focus should be on home, finances and legal matters.

Travel will teach you new ways of doing things and physical activity will lead to strength, endurance and preparation for meeting your goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Move swiftly so no one can trip you up or disrupt your plans. The more secretive you are, the more impact you will have on everyone around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you follow someone else’s model, you will fall short of completing what you are doing. You have what it takes today, so don’t hold back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put a little effort into your surroundings and you will feel better. This is a great time to discuss something that’s important to you. Keep things simple; if you go off in too many directions, you will lose focus.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Taking on too much or overdoing it financially, emotionally or physically will be your downfall. Love is in the picture but it may come from someone who is off-limits. A partnership can help you out professionally.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What you want to do and what you should do are probably not the same. You must tie up unfinished business before you move on to more pleasurable pastimes. A peer’s change of plans may leave you in the lurch. Act fast.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t miss out on an opportunity because you are too busy trying to get others to see things your way. As soon as you share your intentions, someone will try to change your mind, causing you to lose out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You won’t see things clearly, especially if it has to do with personal or emotional matters. Listen and discuss what is actually going on so you fully understand. A valuable lesson will be learned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Present and promote what you’ve been working on. Serious interest will be shown by someone who is dedicated, loyal and able to partner with you on your project. Filter through all that’s being offered.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do everything in your power to finish what you start or close a deal. Emotions can be dealt with if you listen to what others want or need. Don’t make things complex. Be a leader, not a dictator.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your imagination to come up with a grand plan that will please everyone involved. By helping someone out, you will enable him or her to do additional work that will benefit you in the end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Observation will be the only way you will realize what needs to be done. If you are too busy being the center of attention, you will miss the point completely.

A little will go a lot further if you know what you are talking about.
