Happy Birthday: You can now merge into the future with optimism if you let go of what has happened. Engage in the things you enjoy and build a base from which you can make the most of your skills and talents.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t give in to someone using underhanded tactics or bullying you around. You have to make decisions and follow through with your own plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Idle time will be the enemy and keeping busy, your friend. Show your strength and courage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t trust anyone with your cash. Older relatives and children may pose a time-consuming and difficult problem for you. Give advice, not cash.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are in a great position even if you cannot see it. Don’t get all wigged out about something you can do nothing about, especially when the end result will be to your advantage. You have to accept change if you want to get ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll end up in a tight spot if you have promised too much to too many. Consider how to delegate some of the commitments you’ve made. Now is not the time to take on so much that you fall short of your most important goals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Making some changes to your home or even to yourself personally will probably help you out where your relationships are concerned. However, if you overspend, the stress you encounter will work against you. Try to be cost-efficient with your plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Problems within a relationship will surface if the person you are with is jealous or threatened by your current friendships with others. Rethink whether or not you are being held back or protected by some of the people in your life. A change will do you good.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let issues going on in your personal life stifle your chances of getting ahead. A trip may be necessary but will cause some emotional turmoil. You may need to reassure someone of your feelings and devotion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be too quick to disagree or pick a fight. You may feel you are doing the right thing but, in time, you will question the choices you make now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let love cost you financially or emotionally. An unusual opportunity will open up doors, leading to a challenging, different type of work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can get something for nothing. If someone wants you to get involved in a project, find out what’s in it for you before you jump in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Patience will be required if you don’t want to make mistakes. Someone may be interested in you for the wrong reasons. Don’t get caught up in a relationship that doesn’t have potential.

Birthday Baby: You are courageous and a mighty force to contend with. You are determined and eager to face any challenge placed before you.
