IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year you will get what you want, especially if you remain focused. During the first six months of your birthday year, you might feel luckier and more content than in the months that follow. Curb a tendency to overindulg­e. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone before fall who could be significan­t to your life’s history. You also could choose to keep this period light and date several people; the call is yours. If you are attached, the two of you experience a lot of fun and togetherne­ss. Let go of daily issues and enjoy what lies between you. Aries can be pushy, but he or she really does care about you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Your fiery behaviour seems temporaril­y tamed by a softer, more caring attitude. When you encounter a power play, you take a stand and speak your mind. You say what you think in a forceful way, perhaps more so than you realize. Tonight: Return calls and catch up on emails.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Take news with a grain of salt. You could feel uncomforta­ble with someone at a distance or with an associate who opens up a new perspectiv­e that might seem strange. Use caution with your spending, as you easily could make a mistake or go overboard. Tonight: Do for you.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You might feel as if you can’t handle a loved one who suddenly becomes controllin­g. Know that you can ignore what this person is doing. Avoid a power play, and you’ll come out on top. A child or loved one will try to get your attention. Tonight: Spend time with a friend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Deal with a boss directly, even if you are concerned by his or her attitude. You don’t need to challenge this person, but you can ask questions. You could be swallowing your anger more and more in the next few weeks, if you are not careful. Tonight: A family member adores you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Detach and take an overview. You might not agree with someone’s perspectiv­e. Try to identify with this person’s thinking in order to understand where he or she is coming from. A conversati­on might be less difficult once you reach an understand­ing. Tonight: Ever playful.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Deal with loved ones on a one-on-one level. As a result, you will gain greater clarity about where they are coming from. Be open to new possibilit­ies, which could come up indirectly in an argument or a conversati­on. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer that sounds too good to be true.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Defer to others in order to have the time to get some personal work done. Your caring attitude comes through to a partner, and it will put a smile on his or her face. A change to your home or to how you structure your life could be a lot different. Tonight: Go for a change of pace.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Understand what is going on around you. You could believe that someone is being inordinate­ly difficult. Could this person be reflecting some of your energy? You can be very powerful, sarcastic and/or demanding at times. Tonight: Make sure you get some exercise.

SAGITTARIU­S (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Your creativity emerges, especially if you run into a financial hassle. Others admire your resilience and direction. You will want to include a loved one in the conversati­on, as this person often has many ideas. Refuse to get into a control game. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You might not be tapping into your usual self-discipline, and as a result, you could have a hard time seeing beyond the obvious. Rather than tame a wayward mind, deal with what might be distractin­g you. A domestic matter could need tending. Tonight: Head home early.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Communicat­ion flourishes if you flow with the moment. However, some statements made by an associate could trigger you. As a result, you might pull back. The other possibilit­y is to land in a control game if you are not careful. Tonight: Catch up on someone else’s news.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You know that there are costs associated with heading in an offbeat or unexpected direction. Recognize what is going on with you and another person. A situation takes a twist that you might not have anticipate­d. Try not to react; instead, take a step back. Tonight: Count your change.
