Happy Birthday: Don’t let emotional madness lead to deception, uncertainty and hard times. Instead, focus on the positive and the creative. Professional opportunities are apparent if you show everyone what you have to offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotions will surface and the outpouring of good intentions will help you resolve issues that have been bothering you for some time. Address the past and the people who have caused you grief and then put things behind you so you can move forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t offer your time, money or anything else for that matter when you should be focusing on the ones you love and what you can do to make your home life better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let your desire to have fun overpower you when you have everything to gain by working hard and putting a little extra into the mix. What you put in will bring you the riches and recognition you are looking for.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get sidetracked by someone trying to persuade you to do things that will benefit him or her, not you. Stick to your own game plan. A partnership will play an important role in your decisions and should enrich your bond.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t give in to emotional blackmail. Getting upset or angry will cause you to lose ground, putting you in a vulnerable position. Just say what you think and act on what you see others do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Give yourself a break. You deserve to go out, have fun and connect with people you enjoy. It’s your day to pamper yourself. Love and romance are on the rise and a special evening should be in the works.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will mesmerize, captivate and win over anyone you deal with today. Plan to promote and present your thoughts, ideas and intentions. The feedback you get will add to the outcome of whatever you try to master.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Use whatever it takes to get what you want but don’t expect everyone to follow you. Sudden changes regarding relationships can be expected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t try to hide the facts, especially where legalities, settlements, money and health are concerned. By opening up and discussing what’s likely to unfold, you will get better feedback and an honest response.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Let your feelings be known. Despite the response you get, you will know that you have done your best. A change of heart on someone’s part will open your eyes to what this person really wants and expects from you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Hidden matters may cloud your vision, causing you to overstep your bounds and take on someone or something you shouldn’t. Clarify anything that you don’t understand before making a commitment. Prepare to let go of things that aren’t working for you.

Birthday Baby: You are a hard worker, a solution finder and a practical thinker. You are distinct in your way of doing things. You aren’t afraid of change and often instigate it.
