Happy Birthday: Don’t get ahead of yourself this year. A strong work ethic with hands-on nurturing will help you get where you want to go. A love connection may not turn out to be what you think.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Secrets will be kept and force plays may be made. Dealing with medical, legal and financial concerns will lessen the stress in your life. You may have fewer options but your past experience will help you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make abrupt changes without giving anyone too much notice – the reactions you observe will help you make decisions for the future. The truth will be revealed about things you have been excluded from in the past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Unexpected emotional matters will surface. You’ll have to act fast so others can’t question your plans. Keep things simple and don’t stretch the truth.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put time into getting ahead professionally and, before you know it, your cash flow will improve. Don’t be afraid to be unique – it will attract a partner who can help you further your interests.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Redecorating or an addition to your home entertainment system will help you avoid getting into a heated discussion. An investment that deals with property should be considered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t fear the unknown: Embrace it and try new things that will broaden your vision and help you recognize your options. Love is in the stars.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If demands or ultimatums are made, move on. You are used to keeping the peace and sharing with the people you are close to but, once a relationship loses its equality, you are left with little choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Personal changes may not please everyone but it’s you who has to be happy with the alterations you make. A partnership you are in needs a little shake before you can carry on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Derogatory comments will slow you down and make you insecure if you let them. Traveling will lead to problems, delays and difficulty dealing with someone in a position of authority.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful how you react. Irrational behavior will lead to financial loss. Consider your motives before getting involved with someone who may not be a good match.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let your surprise show if someone makes an unexpected fast move. A twist of fate may leave you feeling uncertain but, as long as you don’t show concern, you will stay in control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Love is hot and by splitting costs with someone who likes to do the same things you do, you can do that much more. Separate your love life and your professional and financial life.
