Happy Birthday: You can now clearly see what you have to do to advance. It is important to follow your own dreams this year, not someone else’s.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Set your goals high and don’t stop until you have done everything in your power to finish what you promised you would today. You can figure out ways to earn extra money.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will have difficulty getting things off the ground as your emotions lead you down the wrong path. A problem with a personal relationship will be deceiving. Don’t get angry; instead, work hard.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you stick to your game plan, you should be able to pull off anything you start. You will have no problem when it comes to your personal relationships. Pick and choose who you want to spend time with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your wits about you if you don’t want to suffer. This is not the time to lend or borrow. You will have to protect yourself from slander, ill treatment and someone you trust leading you astray.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ask for a favor and watch things happen. Your generosity and contributions will seal any deal you are working on. Start that new project you’ve been contemplating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Concentrate on a personal relationship. You may have to do a little fast talking to smooth things over. A chance to make a career move is evident. You will be surprised how many options you have.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be lucky today. Money matters can be cleared up and debts will be paid if you ask for what’s owed to you. Any pending legal matter can be settled if you are precise about what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may think you can trust your business associates, but when it comes to contracts, get advice from an outsider. Personal papers must be completed. There is a lot going on behind your back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are lucky in love, business and finance today, so take this opportunity to clear up any unfinished matters. Don’t try to change or fix what’s already working.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be fooled – a good deal is one that saves you money, not one that costs you. A colleague may try to take advantage of you. Don’t make mistakes based on false information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Nothing will compare with the way you do things today. A short trip will help you make a decision. Self-improvement projects will make a huge difference in the reaction you get from others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Expect problems with transportation as well as dealing with neighbors and friends. Being too vocal will work against you. Listen to what others have to say and keep your opinions to yourself.

Birthday Baby: You have the intelligence and appeal to convince everyone to see things your way. You are an ideas person who can find solutions and make things happen. You are articulate, inquisitive and knowledgeable.
