Happy Birthday: Size up your situation and make choices that will help you get things done. Focus on the end result, but don’t lose sight of the guidelines offered. Cutting corners may seem wise at the time but in the end will be costly. Use your head and control impulsive behavior. Love is highlighted, but so is excess and possessiveness. Proceed with caution.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Snap decisions, taking on too much and overreacting will all lead to regrets. Slow down, consider what’s at stake and think matters through mentally, not emotionally. Resist anyone trying to push or take advantage of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your private matters a secret. Focus on home, family and securing your position personally and professionally. Pick up skills, information or anything that will ensure future prospects. Keeping up with the fast-paced world we live in is essential.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Discriminate when it comes to helping others. Don’t let anyone play on your emotions or blackmail you into doing something questionable. You can offer suggestions, but do so for your benefit, not others. Love is on the rise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Strive for perfection, quality and uniqueness in all that you do. You will secure your position if you are reliable, entertaining and competitive. Don’t let anger get the better of you. It’s best to sidestep a no-win situation rather than waste time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t count on anyone. Follow through with your promises, and keep on moving. Idle time will bring you down and lead to trouble. Use your head, your experience and your quick wit to stay ahead of any competition you face. Avoid the past.
