Happy Birthday: Think before you follow through. Emotions will be difficult to control if you aren’t pragmatic about how you handle personal situations. Don’t feel you have to take care of everyone else’s responsibilities for them. Stay focused on doing what’s best for you. Problems with partners will surface. The trick will be to know when to compromise and when to walk away. Your numbers are 9, 14, 20, 28, 37, 42, 48.
