Happy Birthday!

Keep life simple and your goals reasonable. Refuse to let matters that can’t be changed waste your time. Stay focused on what’s important to you and you’ll find the best way to reach the finish line. Curb bad habits and avoid people who entice you with temptation. Your numbers are 6, 14, 23, 28, 36, 40, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Don’t feel like you have to bail out someone who has done something without thinking. Offer suggestions, but walk away from anyone looking for a free ride. Emotional matters will escalate if you aren’t firm. Focus on personal gains.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Emotional matters will escalate if you get involved in projects that are too demanding. Have a clear picture of what’s expected of you before you promise to get involved. Don’t miss an opportunity because you are engaged in an impossible endeavor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Refuse to let your emotions stand between you and getting ahead. Don’t let one of your peers put demands on you or ask for something that will deter you from taking care of your own responsibilities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Use your experience, knowledge and intuition to help you come up with the best solution when dealing with matters concerning work, partnerships and creativity. Don’t give in to indulgent suggestions. Emotional spending will leave you cashpoor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Think twice before you let your emotions filter into discussions that can disrupt your home environment or important relationships. Contain your feelings and refuse to let someone goad you into a debate. Don’t overspend on luxury items.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Dig in and gather information. Knowing what you are up against is half the battle. Exploring your options will bring you closer to finding a way to improve your relationship with others. Offer factual information, not speculation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Generosity and giving in to those who want you to spend your hard-earned cash to win favors or love should all be nixed quickly. Personal gains will require putting your money, time and energy into self-improvement, not helping others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Emotions will rise to the surface, making it difficult to contain your feelings. Channel your energy into something unique that will keep you occupied. An unexpected change at home or with a co-worker will leave you questioning your future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Don’t be fooled by what others do or say. Emotions will cause people to react differently. Try not to be judgmental. An open mind will help you find out the truth, allowing you to bring about positive change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Search for a solution to an ongoing problem. Refuse to give in to something that doesn’t suit your needs or that takes you in a direction you would rather avoid. Do what’s best for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Don’t overdo it. You’ll be tempted to keep up with someone who has unreasonable expectations. Don’t be a follower — take a leadership position and strive for justice, peace and discipline.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Go over personal documents that may be due for an update. Coordinate with the people who can help you keep your projects moving at a steady pace. Don’t take on too much responsibility. Take care of your health.

Birthday Baby:

You are sensitive, intense and creative. You are unique and innovative.
