Happy Birthday! Contain your excitement and maintain a coherent practical demeanor that will encourage others to support your actions. It’s how you present who you are and what you have to offer that will make the difference between being successful or not.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Network or make plans with the people you enjoy being with. A day trip will lead to information that will encourage you to help a cause or improve who you are and what you have to offer. Be open to change. ★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t make changes until you’ve had a chance to put whatever situation you face in perspective. Things aren’t likely to be as they appear. Take time to rethink your strategy and consider your response. Use charm to get your way. ★★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A get-together with friends, neighbors or relatives will open up topics of conversation that could lead to controversy. Don’t get involved, but do take notes for future reference. It’s best to get the facts before you decide to take part. ★★★
