Happy Birthday: Be decisive and shoot for the stars. Stop worrying about what others think or say, and concentrate on what you want to achieve this year. Set high standards while you push forward with enthusiasm and a foolproof plan. Say no to anyone trying to lead you astray or those who let you down. Be ready to handle pitfalls. Make success your priority. Your numbers are 4, 12, 21, 29, 33, 35, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can juggle a lot, but don’t lose sight of what’s essential. Spend time with someone you love, and enjoy life’s little pleasures. Do your best to maintain good health and fitness. Make romance a priority. 4 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take time to assess situations, and stay within your comfort zone when dealing with others. Too much of anything will end up holding you back. Stick to what’s practical and deal only with reliable sources when making decisions. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Get your information from the source. Don’t trust hearsay or let someone be your guide. Gathering firsthand information and being the one to lead the way will bring about better results. Trust your judgment. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll find the changes you want to pursue in the most obscure place. It’s OK to do things differently or to focus on something out of the ordinary. The challenge is to give yourself the opportunities you want and ignore what others think or say. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t expect everyone to tag along or help you fulfill your dream. Do what suits you, enjoy the people who share your concerns and let those who wish to head in a different direction do so without malice. Today it’s better to keep the peace. 4 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be overdue for a change, but before taking a leap of faith, question where you will land. Before you proceed, get to know who you are dealing with and what their intentions are. Someone you trust is a competitor, not an ally. 2 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Live and learn. Take the plunge, indulge in something that excites you and incorporate it into your daily routine. Pay attention to money and health issues, and say no to anyone asking for too much. 5 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t settle for less when you can have so much more. Build an environment that protects you from outside influences and unreliable people. Don’t deny yourself the chance to take the road less traveled if it will help you master your skills. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trust yourself to devise a plan that works for you. Unreliable sources will waste your time and cost you financially. Bypass the riffraff and turn your ideas into something concrete. Personal and financial gain are within reach. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t cross a line; mixing business with pleasure will lead to unexpected problems. Pay attention to home and family by creating a welcoming environment.
