Happy Birthday!

Choose your words wisely this year. Look at the big picture and you’ll find a way to outmaneuver anyone trying to use emotional tactics to push you in a different direction. You can draw strength from your experience and knowledge, and rely on your vast number of associates in order to reach whatever goal you set. Your numbers are 5, 18, 20, 22, 31, 36, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

If someone puts pressure on you to change, consider why and react with intelligence. Only do what feels right and is in your best interest. A change at home will help stabilize your life. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

You’ll come up with a plan that will help someone or something you believe in. Make your intentions clear and set your plans in motion. Your actions will make a difference and give you the confidence you need to move forward. ★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Take a unique path when it comes to how you earn your living, or use your skills to increase your income. Personal problems will surface if you are not honest about the choices you want to make. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Expressing your feelings may get things out in the open, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will lead to a good ending. Consider the consequences of your actions before you are open about what you want. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Define how you want to move forward personally or professionally. Reuniting with someone you have worked with in the past will be inspiring and give you options you didn’t realize you had. Keep things simple and affordable. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You’ll learn from what’s transpired lately, so be ready to make your position clear. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want and to negotiate on your own behalf. If someone is too demanding, walk away and go elsewhere. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

An opportunity may not be as good as anticipated. Refuse to let your emotions get involved in an important decision you have to make. Look at the facts and use common sense and practical applications to reach your goals. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Check out an opportunity that interests you, but do so secretively. Gather all the facts and consider the possible outcomes before sharing that information with anyone who may be influenced by your decision. Preparation will lead to success. ★★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Someone from a different background than you, or who has an alternative perspective, will help you find the common ground that will encourage forward motion instead of stagnation. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Share your emotions and consider how best to handle matters that have to do with a sibling or close friend. Setting up a workable agreement can help you both prosper. Directing positive reinforcement to others will ensure that you succeed in return. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Take an unusual approach when dealing with children, personal finances and contracts you want to revisit. Thinking outside the box will give you the edge you need to outsmart anyone who may oppose you. A change will do you good. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Liven up your life. Attend events or volunteer to help an organization you believe in. Your contributions will be well-received and put you in a good position for when you need something in return. ★★★★★

Birthday Baby:

You are creative, unique and interesting. You are unpredictable and entertaining.
