Happy Birthday: Motivation will be all it takes to get ahead. Your staying power and discipline will be high this year, so accomplishing some of your long term goals will be possible. A giant push to help others will bring you the same in return. An interesting relationship will develop, broadening your horizons and lifting your spirits. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your decisions should be based on what’s best for you. Jealousy and feeling guilty are a waste of time. Reconnect with someone you miss or who can contribute to your life by reinforcing some of your old goals and ideas. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Slow down and take your time or you will end up involved in something that results in unwanted consequences. Love is on the rise but getting involved with someone you have had a bad experience with in the past will only lead to more sorrow. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Participating in social or business events will bring you in contact with someone interested in your ideas and plans. Your ability to converse and work a room will pay off. Before you know it, there will be an opportunity to consider. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you don’t make your move, you won’t be able to take advantage of what’s being offered. Your timing must be impeccable if you want to get ahead at this time. Waffling will lead to disappointment. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The competition is great and, although you do have some great ideas, so will others. You can form a partnership with someone you feel can complement what you have to offer. Being a team player will put you in a leadership position. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A problem within your relationship will occur if you have been all work and no play. If you neglect what’s really important, uncertainty will develop. You will find a solution if you listen to the complaints being made. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Everyone will be in your corner. Love is on the rise and the people you are with can change your future. Let everyone know what you want and what your intentions are. Once you establish your position, the rest will fall into place. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you aren’t being honest with yourself, it’s hard for others to help or to be honest with you. Follow your dreams, don’t be afraid to be open about your intentions and plans and focus on the positive. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A trip or gathering will lead to talks about future projects and how you can contribute. Love and romance are in the stars. Someone who makes an unexpected, last-minute change will catch you off guard. Protect your home and your assets. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let anyone push you around. Demands and ultimatums should be tossed aside. Reasonable talks and suggestions will help to calm the waters and bring everyone to the same conclusion. Diplomacy will win. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An old friend or lover is likely to surface but keep your guard up — nothing has changed. Past experience will guide you now and save you from making the same mistake twice. Choose the people with whom you can associate successfully. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be offered help but it will be at a price. Before you get involved in something new, find out what’s expected of you. A partnership may intrigue you and even sound good, but if talks become pushy, back off immediately.

Birthday Baby: You surprise others with your uniqueness. You are innovative, inventive and creative and you strive to excel.
