Happy Birthday: Emotional matters will leave you difficult choices but, if you separate your feelings from what needs to be done, you can avoid the grief that comes from making the wrong move. Do whatever it takes to hold on to what you’ve worked so hard for. Now is not the time to give in, give up or let uncertainty cause you to make an impulsive move.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is still time to make some moves before the year comes to a close. Check out job prospects that might come into play in the new year. You can sign up for courses to enhance or add to your skills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Think about what you accomplished this past year and what you want to pursue in the future. If you aren’t completely happy with the way things have gone, make your adjustments now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ve got some great ideas that could parlay into a partnership but don’t follow through for the wrong reasons. Make sure that your ideas are feasible in the current economic atmosphere. You have plenty of time to plan.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Change is exactly what you need, so stop fighting it. Someone you care about isn’t likely to agree with what you are doing. Set the record straight so everyone knows why you feel the way you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Have some fun with friends and stop worrying so much about your work. If you mix business with pleasure, you will end up on the losing end of the stick. Enjoy the people who appreciate you the most.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look for something new to enhance your looks or give you a new lease on life. You need a change now more than ever. Find a new direction that will stimulate your mind and get you excited about the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be feeling emotionally drained from conversations with people who are overindulgent, overbearing or just plain stubborn. Pick your battles carefully. Put your energy into the one you love most.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus on what you can do for others and you will hook up with someone who shows an interest in what you are trying to achieve. A problem with a lover is likely to leave you feeling distant or out of touch.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be torn between what you should do and what you want to do. You may need to find a way to stretch your time and fit both choices into your plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Finalize paperwork, close a deal or do something to add to the comfort of your home. The possibility of a financial gain is looking positive. Someone you least expect may have an interest in you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve got a better handle on your life than you realize, so relax and start putting things in order. A to-do list will help you organize your day. Love and romance are looking positive – plan to get out with the one you love, or socialize if you are single.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may have trouble settling into something you promised to do. Instead of arguing, get what needs to be done out of the way so you can do what you really want to do.

Someone you respect will offer help or suggestions.

Birthday Baby: You are incredibly clever and resilient. You will not back down from anything or anyone. You attract change, adapt well and are practical and pragmatic.
