Happy Birthday: Let your imagination lead you into unfamiliar territory this year. Embrace life and make a point to focus on your dreams, hopes and wishes. The future looks bright. A little effort will take you a long way. Don’t feel the need to share your plans with anyone before you are ready. Once you feel comfortable and confident, your presentation will be well received. Your numbers are 1, 5, 13, 24, 32, 39, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Curb any emotional feelings until you have time to consider all the ins and outs of a situation. The less impulsive you are, the better. Stay focused on your responsibilities and refuse to let excessive spending take over. 2 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are in the zone and ready to take on the world. Embrace life and make adjustments to your lifestyle that will accommodate your plans. The future begins now, so stop procrastinating and start turning your dream into a reality. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before you take charge, make sure your motives are honorable. Charm alone will not get you what you want. An intelligent backup to your plan will help you seal any deal you want to negotiate. Don’t let your emotions interfere. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Calm down and make the most of your day. Getting upset over something you can’t change is fruitless. Put your energy into work, productivity and creative solutions. Simple acts of kindness will encourage more of the same. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you must make changes, do so for the right reasons. Common sense, not emotional madness, should be behind every move you consider. Overreacting and making assumptions will put you in a predicament that could be difficult to back out of. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fast talk will get you into trouble. Don’t be too willing to say ”yes” to a plea for help until you find out exactly what’s expected of you and why. Being put in a compromising position will detract from your personal progress. 4 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be prone to take on too much if you don’t take the time to consider what’s actually in your best interests. Make careful decisions and don’t be impulsive. A physical challenge will help clear your mind. 2 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Investigate your options and you’ll discover a way to turn something that interests you into a viable solution to any foreseeable problem that you might encounter along the way. You’ll attract unusual input from someone you least expect. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Emotions and finances won’t be a good mix. You won’t be thinking clearly when dealing with children, money or personal contracts. If you want change, consider altering your appearance or your lifestyle. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t venture too far from home. You’ll get more done if you take care of domestic responsibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Trust your intuition and question what others tell you. Avoid anyone showing signs of inconsistency or looking for someone to take over his or her responsibilities. Offer help to those in need, not those trying to use you. 5 stars

Birthday Baby: You are original, sensitive and loving. You are outgoing and assertive.
