Happy Birthday: Hash over the possibilities and how best to approach the goals you set. Make sure you understand what’s entailed and the time involved before you agree to begin something new.

Your numbers are 6, 18, 23, 25, 33, 39, 43.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you’re going to bring about a change, you will have to submit a plan. Take a closer look at your finances, and make changes to your spending habits and monthly expenses. Put more effort into fixing rather than replacing faulty items. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t fold under pressure. Take on responsibilities that are doable. Trust your instincts, not what someone with lofty ideas wants you to support. Don’t limit what you can do, but stop others from taking advantage of you. 2 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep everything moving along. If you waffle or become inconsistent, you will have to make up for lost time. Don’t overanalyze when all that’s required is putting one foot in front of the other. A partnership will entice you. 5 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be receptive, but don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Concentrate on what you do best and how to get ahead. Don’t sit back if someone tries to steal your thunder. If you’ve got something to sell, make your presentation. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get ready to execute your plan. Change is overdue, and it’s up to you to make it happen. Ask for what you want, and go after your dreams. There are plenty of opportunities waiting for you to scoop up and get started. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Words and truth matter. Conversations will be challenging to decipher, and the truth is likely to be exaggerated. You can’t control what others do, but you can make sure that you don’t contribute to giving people the wrong impression. 2 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What goes around comes around. What you’ve experienced can help you make a better decision now. The element of surprise will work in your favor. A last-minute change will give you the edge you need when faced with competition. Romance is favored. 4 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Let go of the past. Refuse to let temptation get the better of you. Investing in something risky or unhealthy because someone is coaxing you to get involved will bring you down. Show discipline and courage. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Consider what brings you joy, and head in that direction. If you need to pick up additional skills, do so; if reconnecting with someone you have worked alongside in the past will help you move forward now, make the call. 3 stars
